Uploading Content to the Vault
Photos and videos recorded on your Varia™ Vue or Varia™ RCT715 can be uploaded to the Vault through the Varia app. Footage is uploaded from the Gallery, and must first be downloaded and saved to your phone before it can be uploaded to the Vault. To save to the Vault, select a clip from the Downloaded tab of the Gallery, and select Add to Vault. This will start the upload and progress can be tracked in the Upload Queue. From the home screen of the Varia app:
Select

Select the Upload Queue.
Once the upload is complete, the footage will appear in the Gallery tab. Vault take some time to process the videos after being uploaded. During this time they will not be viewable in the Gallery. Allow the video to finish processing before viewing or sharing in the Vault.
Uploading From the Varia Vue Using Wi-Fi
The Varia Vue headlight camera can connect to a local W-Fi® network and automatically upload your locked footage to the Vault while charging. A Wi-Fi network must be added to the Varia Vue using the steps below:
Connect your Varia Vue to the Varia app.
Select

Enter the password, if applicable, and select Next.
The Varia will connect to the network and test the connection. Once connected, it will appear in the list of Wi-Fi networks in the Wi-Fi setup page of your Vue. When the Vue is charging, it will search for and connect to any saved networks in range and automatically start to upload any Locked footage stored on the Varia. The Device LED will alternate green and blue flashes to indicate the device is uploading videos to the Vault.
The Varia will not upload over Wi-Fi if plugged into a computer, as the computer will put the device into USB Mass Storage Mode and prevent it from connecting to any networks.
