Video and Photo Format

Videos and photos are stored in the DCIM directory on the memory card. Videos are stored in MP4 and GLV file format, and photos are stored in JPG format. GLV is a low-resolution video file that provides a better mobile preview experience in the Varia™ app.

Varia Vue uses a video compression standard called HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding), also known as H.265. HEVC allows video to be saved at up to half the file size while maintaining the captured image quality. Some media players might not support H.265 video compression playback.

NOTE: For more information on how to view your videos with the best image quality, go to www.garmin.com/videos.

You can view and transfer videos and photos by inserting the memory card into your computer or connecting the device to your computer (Connecting the Device to Your Computer).

The videos and photos are sorted into folders.


100EVENT	Contains videos saved automatically when the device detects an incident.
101PHOTO	Contains photos.
102SAVED	Contains videos saved manually by the user.
103UNSVD	Contains unsaved video footage currently in the video loop. The device overwrites the oldest unsaved video when the storage space for unsaved videos is full.

TIP: You can also view and transfer videos and photos using the Varia app (Viewing Videos and Photos on the Varia App).
