FEATURES:
REAL TIME SITUATION AWARENESS
This lightweight body camera packs a punch with its state-of-the-art features. Next generation
real time situation awareness provides next level protection for staff and assets. Press record
and capture the truth securely and know your integrity is never questioned. The simple intuitive
control allows users to capture video, audio and photographs and play them back on the
camera. Go back in time with the camera’s pre-event recording feature which automatically
attaches up to 25 seconds of buffered evidence from before the record button was pressed.
ADVANCED ENCRYPTION STANDARD (AES256)
Data is stored on the integrated 64GB solid-state memory and encased in a robust IP67 housing
that can withstand even the harshest conditions. Trust your stored video with the inbuilt
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES-256), adopted by the U.S. government and other
intelligence organisations across the world, this high-end encryption standard ensures the
integrity of your data. An optional feature of this device is a unique encryption key which can be
set for your specific organisation.
FULL HIGH DEFINITION VIDEO
The Visiotech VS-2 Body Camera comes equipped with a 1920x1080 resolution sensor. This
means the body camera records video at twice the number of pixels than the standard 720p. As
a result, this bodycam can capture a crystal-clear image of a license plate, faces, features and
more from a significantly farther distance than 720p.
AUTOMATIC INFRA-RED HIGH OUTPUT NIGHT VISION
The Visiotech VS-2 Body Camera is equipped with a low-light HD video sensor that records Full
HD colour video and snaps photos at a detailed 32 Megapixels. The 2” LCD Screen lets you
view what you are recording in real-time and plays back video and photos instantly. Infrared
night vision picks up details in complete darkness and with Visible Face Detection up to 10
metres. The camera’s 140-degree wide angle lens records peripheral images to avoid important
evidence that would otherwise be off camera.

WARNING
SAFETYHAZARDWARNINGSFORLITHIUMIONBATTERIES:
The rechargeable Lithium Ion batteries within the Visiotech Body Camera are potentially hazardous and
can present a serious FIRE HAZARD if damaged, defective or improperly used. Lithium batteries
requiring frequent full discharge cycles require special precautions.
A FIRE IS MOST LIKELY TO OCCUR DURING THE CHARGING PROCESS UNDER THE FOLLOWING
CIRCUMSTANCES:
THE BATTERY HAS BEEN FULLY DISCHARGED AND IS NOT RECHARGED SHORTLY AFTERWARD.
This potential is aggravated if batteries are damaged, contain an undetected factory defect, are used or stored
at temperature extremes, or are approaching the end of their useful life. Ideally, batteries should be
recharged within 24 hours of a full discharge.
CHARGING IS ATTEMPTED AT TEMPERATURES BELOW 40°F (4°C). Charging below 40°F (4°C), causes
a chemical reaction in the battery cells that can cause permanent damage and the possibility of fire or
explosion during charging.
THE BATTERY HAS BEEN EXPOSED TO LIQUIDS, ESPECIALLY SALTWATER. Exposure to liquids can
cause internal corrosion or damage to the cells or to the Battery Management System (BMS). The BMS
protects the battery from overcharging, high self- discharge or imbalanced charging of the cells, any of which
can present the possibility of fire during recharging.
OPERATING OR CHARGING A BATTERY THAT HAS BEEN DAMAGED FROM DROPPING OR FROM
SHIPPING DAMAGE.
USING A CHARGER OTHER THAN SPECIFICALLY DESIGNATED FOR THE PARTICULAR BATTERY.
Lithium Ion battery chargers provide a specific charging voltage and microprocessor current and voltage
control.
THE BODY CAMERA SHOULD ONLY GET SLIGHTLY WARM DURING CHARGING. If the camera becomes
hot, smokes, or gives off an odour during charging, terminate charging immediately and contact Comvision.
VisiotechVS‐2Manualv1.1 Copyright–ComvisionPtyLtd 8|Page
GENERALCARE:
Read the user manual carefully before using the equipment, follow the operation
instructions strictly.
Please take care during transportation and use of the body camera.
All installation and maintenance must be performed by professionally trained qualified
persons.
To avoid overheating, keep the Body Camera and docking stations well ventilated.
If the Body Camera produces smoke, smell, or unusual noise, please turn off the
power immediately and unplug the power cord and contact Comvision.
If the Body Camera is not working properly, please contact Comvision. Do not
disassemble or modify the Body Camera in any way in order to maintain your
warranty.
Do not charge at high temperature. The overheating of the battery may cause an
explosion; high temperature refers to not more than 45 degrees.
Physical damage to this product may result in data loss and void the warranty.
This product is only IP67 rated when the rubber protection covers are in place. Water
entering the device will damage it and void the warranty.
Please keep the front lens clean to ensure clear video footage.
Avoid placing equipment in direct sunlight, poorly ventilated areas, or near heat
sources such as heaters (ignoring this may lead to fire hazards).
Please take good care of your username and password.
