If this is the rst time you have connected the BC-1 Body
Camera to this computer, you may have to wait for your
computer to automatically install the proper drivers.
If you connect the BC-1 Body Camera to a computer and do not
have the software running, it will only charge its battery and you
cannot access the camera’s internal les.
However, if you have the BC-1 Body Camera software running
while the BC-1 Body Camera is connected, you can also use
Windows Explorer to access it as a ash drive.
