If you connect the BC-1 Body Camera to a computer and do not
enter the proper password, it will only charge its battery and you
cannot access the camera’s internal les.
For maximum security of your les, we recommend changing the
default password after setting up the BC-1 Body Camera for the
rst time.
Default Login:
User: 0000
Password: 000
Note: You can also press the Play button four (4) times to
advance through the password screen without having to
