Chapter 2: General Overview
What is the TASER CAM HD Recorder?
The TASER CAM HD recorder is an optional accessory for use with compatible TASER conducted electrical weapons,
such as TASER X2 or X26P CEWs. The TASER CAM HD system, with its microphone and light-sensitive camera, adds
audio and video recording capabilities to the CEW. It is also rechargeable.
The TASER CAM HD recorder can be configured without the audio recording capability for locations where audio
recording is restricted. Configuration settings are available in the Evidence Sync software.
The TASER CAM HD recorder works with Evidence Sync software to download audiovisual files onto a local com-
puter or server and store them in a searchable library. Files may also be stored on the Evidence.com website, offer-
ing digital storage in a secure and easily accessible environment.
TASER CAM HD General Features
The TASER CAM HD recorder improves upon the previous TASER CAM product with color footage and superior
image quality.
A fully charged battery will provide enough power for approximately 100 five-second firings at 77 °F (25 °C) and
one hour of video/audio recording at maximum video resolution and frame rate. The TASER CAM HD recorder can
store 1 hour of records. After that, new footage will overwrite the oldest footage in 10-minute segments.
The TASER CAM system records both video and audio when the safety is in the up (ARMED) position, and stops
recording when the safety is in the down (SAFE) position.
Note: There is an approximate 2-second delay between the safety switch being placed in the up (ARMED) posi-
tion and when the TASER CAM begins to record.
The TASER CAM HD recorder stores the video and audio records; the CEW stores the firing records. Because these
data are kept in different places, the same recorder and CEW should be used together.
Automatic Shut-Down TASER CAM HD Recorder
The optional auto shut-down TASER CAM HD (AS) recorder is a modified recorder that shuts down the output of
the CEW after 5 seconds and also contains a built-in speaker that alerts the user to the impending shut down. The
AS recorder provides an audible beeping alert for the last 2 seconds of a firing cycle before automatically shutting
down the cycle.
There are 2 ways your agency may have configured your X2 CEW to work with the TASER CAM HD AS recorder. With
one option, shut down will occur 5 seconds after a trigger-initiated energy burst, but ARC switch functioning will
not be affected. With the other option, shut down will occur after 5 seconds whether you press the trigger or the
