Introduction
CITE HD - Wearable High Definition Streaming Video.
CITE HD is a compact, modular, rugged and secure digital video recording system utilising a 1080P
HD video camera core. The modular design allows for the lens to be mounted separately or attached
to the main body. This allows CITE to adapt to a wide range of mounting scenarios ranging from
head, shoulder chest, vehicle or K9 configuration to name a few.
The Broadcast quality highly detailed 1080P video captured by the CITE camera is augmented by the
integrated GPS and compass system. This overlays the Time / Date / Latitude / Longitude / Speed /
Heading and direction that the camera is pointed over each frame, The video is searchable by these
elements as well as other criteria such as rapid acceleration or depressing an event button to allow
the operator to notate an occurrence allowing for easy indexing and later location of specific events.
Using the remote trigger system the camera can optionally be activated by a wrist mounted
transmitter, rapid acceleration or when the vehicle lights / siren are activated. When combined with
the pre-record feature this ensures that vehicle based incidents will be captured in their entirety
without the need for a vehicle mounted camera system and officer mounted microphones. If the
CITE unit is permanently mounted in a vehicles then power and remote triggers functions can be
hardwired to the vehicle.
A dual hot swap battery system allows for changing of batteries without interrupting the operation
of the equipment. A variety of battery configurations are available starting at 4 hours of continuous
recording. The addition of the option streaming video module allows real time video to be sent to a
vehicle, station or remotely located recording equipment.
An integrated 2.5” LCD screen allows the operator to ensure correct alignment of the lens module
prior to use. In addition it also allows for infield replay of any recorded event. A tactical button
ensures that during night time or covert operations no noise or light is emitted from the unit. The
Cite system supports a removable IR filter and an optional IR illuminator for use in complete
darkness

Getting Started
Kit Contents
Each Cite kit contains the following contents:
1 x Cite Unit
1 x Lens Unit
1 x IR Filter (Daytime use)
1 x Clear Filter (Nigh time Use)
1 x Remote Control Unit
1 x USB Cable
1 x Short Cable
1 x Long Cable
1 x Belt Clip
1 x Sunglasses Mount
1 x Collar Clip
1 x Adhesive Helmet Mount
1 x Suction Cup Mount
1 x Car Charger
2 x Rechargeable Li-ion 4.2v Batteries
Optional - 1 x 32 GB Class 10 SD card
Batteries
The Cite unit uses two Li-ion 4.2v batteries. They are located at the base of the unit.
The Cite unit will use the battery with the lowest charge first. When this battery reaches 3.2v, the
unit will automatically switch to the second battery. When the second battery reaches 3.2v and the
first battery has not been replaced, the Cite unit will automatically draw power from both batteries
until all charge has been drained from the batteries.
Hot Swap System
A dual hot swap battery system allows for changing of batteries without interrupting the operation
of the equipment. For the hot swap system to work, the unit must be operating off a single battery,
not both.
To access the battery compartment at the base of the Cite unit, slide the tab highlighted in the
image below.

July 23, 2013
The flashing red LED light indicates the battery with the lowest charge. To remove the battery from
the Cite unit, slide the battery release tab. Each battery is spring loaded and will slide forward for
easier removal once the tab has been released.
Replace with a fully charged battery. Ensure the battery is inserted correctly. The battery contact
points inside each battery slot are located at the opposite end of the battery release tab.
If both red LED lights are flashing, both batteries are low and the Cite system is drawing charge from
both batteries. If either battery is removed from the Cite unit when both red LED lights are flashing,
all operation of the equipment will cease. Connect the Cite unit to an external power source via a
USB cable before changing the unit batteries to avoid loss of unit operation.

Cables
The cable used to connect the lens module to the Cite unit can either be screwed into place or left
unscrewed. When left unscrewed, the cable connecting the lens module to the Cite unit can be
released quickly, however the unit waterproof rating will not apply. When the cable is screwed into
place at both ends, the unit is waterproof to a depth of 3 metres.
It is important to note that when the cable is connected to the lens unit, the base of the cable must
be pointing towards the ground, otherwise the recorded image will be upside down.
Cable lengths can be ordered to any size.

Power
LED Lights
After inserting a battery into the Cite unit, two red LED flashes will confirm if the inserted battery is
OK. If the two red LED flashes do not appear, there may be a fault with the battery and a
replacement should be inserted.
These LED lights also provide information about the status of the Cite unit.
When the LED lights are flashing BLUE, there is no unit activity.
There are two LED lights, when looking at the unit front on, the left LED light represents GPS
functionality and the right LED light represents the video system.

11
July 23, 2013

recording.
Green LED light- The system is active, e.g. there is a GPS signal and/or the Video system is recording.
Red LED Light- There is an error.
It is possible to have multiple colours flashing. For example the GPS LED may be flashing blue due to
no GPS signal being available, however the video system LED may be flashing green due to the
recording system being activated.

Lens Module
The Cite system supports a removable IR filter and an optional IR illuminator for use in complete
darkness. To change the IR unit, rotate the lens ring anti clockwise, remove and replace with desired
IR unit by reattaching the lens ring and turning it clockwise.

12
July 23, 2013
The lens module also has a rotating mounting support located at the base of the lens ring to allow a
mount to be placed at any angle. It is important to ensure that the video cable from the lens module
to the Cite unit is always pointing towards the ground to guarantee the recorded image is not
displayed upside down.
The unit also displays a flashing red LED light when it is recording.
NB: The red LED recording light will not flash when the Cite unit is in Tactical Mode.
