Advanced Functions & Alerts
Low Power Warning:
When your battery level is low the battery icon will flash red. The camera will alert
you with a beeping tone when it reaches this level until it is plugged into power. If the
camera is not plugged in, it will power off 5 minutes after the low power warning

Firmware Options:
There are two versions of camera firmware available:
PTT (push-to-talk / walkie talkie):
Connect the device with your walkie talkie via the PTT cable (sold separately). Press
down the PTT button to talk & release when finished.
1. USB Version (USB): This is the default version that is pre-installed on your
camera. This firmware allows you to connect it to any computer directly like a USB
drive to manage your files. No special drivers required.
2. Software Encrypted Version (ENC): Multiple cameras can be managed using our
optional DEMS, optimal for police departments. This firmware version removes the
date/time/police ID, disables the loop recording option, blocking an officer from
tampering with the cameras settings. This also locks down the camera only allowing
an administrator with a password to transfer and manage files.
The wireless remote control allows for recording audio, video or taking pictures
without ever needing to touch it. Your remote is already paired with your device,
however if it is not working, please try to set it up using the pairing process. Turn on
your device and press and hold the photo/camera button on the remote and press the
power button on the camera simultaneously. When the device is taking a picture from
the camera screen release the photo/camera button and the pairing is complete. There
are three buttons on the remote control. A red LED will indicate when any of the three
functions are performed.
