Remote Activation; Bodycam 4 - Pro Vision BODYCAM 4 User Manual

REMOTE ACTIVATION

Remote Activation
The BODYCAM 4 has a radio that can transmit and receive a signal that can be used to remotely start
recording. The camera must first be configured to use the remote activation function.
Configurable options:
1. Allow camera to be activated by other BODYCAM 4 cameras?
2. Allow camera to be activated by a PRO-VISION In-Car System (P/N: DVR-906LE)?
3. Allow camera to be activated by a PRO-VISION Trigger Device (P/N: BC4-TRIGGER)?
4. Activate camera from devices?
5. Allow camera to activate other cameras?
When properly configured, if a user activates Event recording on a BODYCAM 4 device by double-
pressing the front Event button, any cameras that are powered on and ready to record within a 30 ft. (9M)
range of the camera will begin Event recording automatically.
•
When a device is activated by the remote signal, recording notifications will occur as if the user
has activated it manually, but the LCD display will show an indicator of the type of device that
activated it.
•
When a device is manually activated by the Event button, it will continue broadcasting a signal for
other devices to start Event recording until it is manually stopped by pressing and holding the
Event button for 3 seconds.
•
Devices that are activated by the remote activation signal do not also broadcast a signal.
•
Remote activation only starts Event recording; Event recording must be stopped individually on
each device that was activated.

BODYCAM 4

The BODYCAM 4 can broadcast a signal when it is Event recording so other BODYCAM 4 units will
automatically activate when in proximity of the active camera.
When configured properly, the camera that was manually activated
with the button will display a beacon icon in the top bar of the LCD
and a manually activated icon to the left of the recording time.
(Show at right)
The camera(s) that were activated by the signal from the other
BODYCAM 4 will display an icon representing activation by another
BODYCAM 4 to the left of the recording time. When the camera is
activated it will follow the same sounds, LED states, and vibrations as when
the camera is manually activated by the user.
Configuration:
For two BODYCAM 4 devices to activate each other, the activating BODYCAM must be configured so
that "This camera can activate other cameras" is enabled. The camera(s) that will be activated must be
configured so that "Camera can be activated by other BODYCAM 4 cameras" is enabled.
General Information:
•
When a camera is activated by a signal, it must manually be stopped by using the camera's
Event button. The signal does not stop the recordings.
•
Cameras that are activated by a signal do not broadcast a signal themselves. Only cameras in
the proximity of the signal originator will be activated.
•
When an event is manually started, the signal is broadcast until the event on that camera is
manually ended. If another configured BODYCAM 4 enters the proximity of that camera at any
time during the Event, it will be activated.
•
Once a camera has been remotely activated by a signal, if that remotely activated camera
manually ends the event, it will not become reactivated by that same signal.
