FEATURES:
RECORD GPS POSITIONING
This lightweight body camera packs a punch with its state-of-the-art features. 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. Go back in time with the cameras
pre-event recording feature which automatically attaches 7 seconds of buffered evidence from
before the record button was pressed.
The Visiotech VC-2 Body Camera comes equipped with integrated GPS tracking hardware.
Location metadata is recorded with video and is displayed on playback to further enhance the
captured evidence.
ADVANCED ENCRYPTION STANDARD (AES256)
Data is stored on the integrated 64GB solid-state drive 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 organizations 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 2.7K HD RESOLUTION VIDEO SENSOR
The Visiotech VC-2 Body Camera comes equipped with a 2304 x 1296 pixel resolution 2.7K
sensor. That means the body camera records video at over 50 percent more pixels than the
standard 1080p. 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 1080p.
AUTOMATIC INFRA-RED HIGH OUTPUT NIGHT VISION
The Visiotech VC-2 Body Camera is equipped with a low-light HD video sensor that records 2.7k
HD colour video and snaps photos at a detailed 32 Megapixels.
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 


SAFETYHAZARDWARNINGSFORLITHIUMIONBATTERIES:
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.


GENERALCARE: 
 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.

PRODUCTAPPLICATION

The Visiotech VC-2 high-definition Body Camera is a highly integrated device specially
developed for the law enforcement industry. The equipment supports photo snap shots,
video and audio recording, local storage and infrared night vision.
The body camera uses a docking process to charge the body camera batteries and manage
the footage on the camera. The Visiotech DEMS Dock Software is loaded on a PC that
contains adequate Hard Disk capacity to keep the incident footage for the preferred amount
of time. Body cameras connect to the DEMS Dock PC via a USB connection. The Visiotech
single USB docking stations and the 8 port docking stations connect to the PC via USB, the
DEMS Dock software detects a new connection and automatically starts the charging and
file management process. The DEMS Dock software is protected by user level passwords
with general users only having the ability to dock and undock body cameras. Higher level
users are programmed for access to view and playback incident footage, management
encrypted files, export and delete files.
