A. Downloading the Desktop Software
1. Go to our website: www.safetytrack.net
2. Hover over the support tab at the top and select Camera Installation and User

will see Desktop SD Card Player. Click this link and you will start to download
the zip file for the software.
4. Go through the installation steps and be mindful of where you save the
application. It is best sometimes to check the “Create a desktop icon”.

(Orange icon with a yellow car called CARBOX PLAYER).
B. Removing and Inserting the SD Card:
Removal:
To remove the SD Card, twist the silver knob counterclockwise to loosen. (Fig.1)
This will release the door hiding the SD Card. Lift open the door to reveal the SD
Card. Next, push IN the SD Card until you hear a “click” (Fig.2). You will then

Once you select Playback (Section D, No. 7, Letter D on Page 5), you will enter

You can also choose to playback video that you have backed up to your computer

Depending on the configuration of your SD Card. You may see up to 3 different
types of events. Two of them will not be overwritten (Push Button and G-Sensor).
1. Record Start - This is general continuous recorded video. This is captured
when the Camera System receives power. This video can be overwritten.
2. Push Button By Not Overwrite - This is video that is highlighted when the
force record button is physically pressed on the camera system. In most
situations this button is pressed in emergencies. This video will not be
overwritten.
3. G-Sensor By Not Overwrite - This is video that is highlighted when a G-sensor
event is triggered. Such as an accident, hard braking, harsh acceleration or
a hard turn.
F. Backup
Here you can save recorded files to your PC. This is done by clicking on Backup
(Section D, No. 7, letter C on page 5). The Backup window will appear like the
one below.

Step 1: Assuming you want to backup a video(s) from your SD Card to your
PC, you will just need to select the drive your SD is in under “Removable
Storage”.
Step 2: To the left of the ID # you will see a white box. Check the video(s) you
want to backup by clicking in the box.
Step 3: After you have selected your video(s) you will now want to select the
Format to the right.
(1) RAW Backup File (*sd) (Recommended)
(2) AVI Backup File (*avi)
*NOTE: If you backup by original format of Micro SD Card (*sd), the file is
recorded with location of GPS, speed and G-Sensor. (CARBOX Player is
used to playback these type of backups.)
If backup by the format of (*.avi), the file recorded will have date, video
and audio.
Step 4: Backup Path: Select your backup destination (e.g.: C:\blackbox)
Step 5: Select “Backup” and your video(s) will start to save. Time to backup
depends on the size of the file.
G. Configuration
With your SD card inserted, select the Configuration icon. (Section D, No. 7, Letter
B on page 5). The configuration window will appear and below will describe
configuration settings:
!8

First you will want to select the drive that your Micro SD card is in at the top left
of the window. This will unlock the fields to configure the Micro SD Card.
1- Video Format: Choose between D1 or CIF format. D1 being the higher quality
format, this is recommended unless you are trying to save storage and sacrifice
quality.
2- Video Quality: Adjust the video quality to High, Normal or Low. High is of
course recommended for the best video quality. You can adjust to Normal or Low
to have more space on your SD Card. The higher the quality of video the
more storage space it uses.
3- Video Frame Rate: This gives you a drop down menu to adjust the frame rate.
It is set to highest as a standard at 30 NTSC FPS so that the video is smooth.
Again, this can be adjusted to get the most storage out of your SD Card and
sacrifice some frames.

4- Car Information: Easily identify vehicle information. Vehicle license plate
number, model, VIN etc. can be input here to identify this information quickly.
5- UIMode: This will adjust the size of the viewer window.
6- Password: This is a feature of the SD Card encryption, to prevent others
from accessing any data. Set a password, then that password is required to
access the playback files, settings or to format the SD Card.
7- Time Zone: Set time zone here. GPS has an auto time correction.
8- Unit of Speed: Adjust the unit of speed to your preference. Mile per hour,
Kilometer per hour, Knot per hour.
9- G-Sensor Sensitivity: Here you set the sensitivity for the G-Sensor. OFF, Light,
Low, Normal, High, Heavy. (Light meaning less sensitive and Heavy being
more sensitive.) Example: Set to Light if you live in a place like Michigan
otherwise you will have repeated emergency recording that won’t be
overwritten. This is because of the potholes and uneven roads.
10- Parking Mode: When the vehicle ignition is turned off the DVR goes into
parking mode. This allows the DVR to stay on and continue recording for the
selected period of time.
11- Parking Frame Rate: Parking mode generally records in a lower frame rate
than normal camera operation. This is so it doesn’t use large amounts of
storage when the vehicle is parked. Adjust according to your needs up to 15
FPS which is half the frame rate of normal operation.

H. Format
When you receive your camera system it will be formatted to the default settings.
If you want to clear/format the SD Card from all video data be sure to select the
correct drive under “removable storage” then click Format.
If you want to clear the formatting and restore to full disk space (just like you
purchased it new from the store) choose Restore.

See how far the video recording goes back. These days and times

particular time.
