Important Safeguards
This symbol indicates important operating and maintenance instructions.
This symbol indicates un-insulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclo-
sure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to a person.
Caution: This system is designed to operate in 12 volt DC negative ground vehicles only. All
system components must be operated only when properly connected to the DVR.
Attention: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not perform any servicing other than
that contained in this User’s Guide unless you are qualified to do so. Refer all servicing to
qualified personnel.
DO NOTblock ventilation openings.
DO NOT allow liquids to enter the DVR or any other component of the Flashback. This could
cause electrical shorts, fire, or other damage.
The Flashback should be installed by a qualified technician and must conform to SAE
Requirements. Ground wires (black) must be connected to the vehicle’s chassis. Never
connect ground wires to the vehicle’s battery. If your vehicle also has a mobile data
computer, make sure that both devices are grounded at the exact same point.
Warning: Airbag Deployment—Do not install equipment or route wiring in the deployment
path of an airbag. Failure to observe this warning will reduce the effectiveness of the airbag
or potentially dislodge the equipment, causing serious injury.
Warning: Seat Removal Precaution—If a vehicle seat is temporarily removed, verify with the
vehicle manufacturer if the seat needs to be recalibrated for proper airbag deployment.
Failure to heed this warning could result in death or serious injury.
Notice: Drilling Precautions—When drilling holes, check the area in which you are drilling to
be sure you do not damage vehicle components. All drilled holes should be deburred and all
sharp edges should be smoothed. All wire routings going through drilled holes should be
protected by a grommet or convolute/split loom tubing.
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK,
DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK).
NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.
REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.

Introduction

Introduction
The Flashback is an in-car digital video recorder that can be installed inside a patrol
car and/or interview room. This recorder collects video evidence and stores it tem-
porarily on an SD card until the video can be transmitted to a storage server back
at your agency or precinct. The Flashback is part of L3 Mobile-Vision’s digital
evidence collection system. This system is comprised of multiple in-car and back-
office components, as described below.
Flashback’s in-car components include the DVR, DVR monitor, forward-facing
“zoom” camera, Backseat camera (optional), Bullet cameras (optional), VoiceLink
Plus wireless microphone, and Crash Sensor (optional).
Flashback’s “back office” components are housed in or around the agency or precinct
building and typically include a storage server, robotic disc burner, PC workstation
(used to control the disc burner), Digital Evidence Series software, and one or more
access points (for more on access points, see Glossary).
The manner in which videos upload to your storage server depends on the type of
Digital Evidence software that you purchased. Our Linux-based server applica-
tions, such as Digital Evidence Pro (DEP), are designed to transmit video to the
storage server wirelessly. Other systems, such as Digital Evidence Viewer (DEV),
require that you upload your videos manually from an SD storage card.
L3 Mobile-Vision currently sells two models of the Flashback: Flashback3 and
FlashbackHD. Both models share similar features and functionality, with two key
differences. First, the FlashbackHD can capture video at a higher resolution than the
Flashback3—1280 x 720 pixels vs. 720 x 480 pixels for the Flashback3. Secondly,
the Flashback3 comes with the Nite-Watch camera, whereas the FlashbackHD comes
with either the HD Digital Zoom camera or the newer 10x HD Optical Zoom camera.

prefer to keep your monitor display on continuously even when the unit is in
Idle mode, press the button until the Auto button light turns off.

Using DVR Buttons vs. Monitor Buttons
Because some of our customers mount their DVRs in the trunk of their vehicles,
all of the buttons on the Flashback DVR are repeated on the Flashback monitor.
DVR Monitor
There is no difference between pressing a button on the Flashback DVR and pressing
the equivalent button on the Flashback monitor. However, for brevity, all button
references in this manual will picture the monitor buttons.
Monitor Display
This section describes the meaning of the various symbols and indicators that display
on your Flashback monitor. Displays will vary based on what mode you’re in and
what display options you’ve selected. For example, the Wireless LAN connection
indicator in the lower right corner of the screen will not display unless the value of
the WLAN display field is set to ON.
For more information on this and other display options, see “Changing Display
Options” on page 116.
NOTE: If you purchased the
optional Vehicle Viewer or
Vehicle Viewer Live application,
you can
also access these buttons from the
Vehicle Viewer
(Live) main menu.
