Using the VISTA Body Camera
Overview
You use the VISTA Body Camera as a DVR (digital video recorder) to capture, process, and store
video and audio evidence. You connect the camera with your Evidence Library software to
provision it as well as to upload its video for evidence management.
WatchGuard offers three types of VISTA Body Camera:
lVISTA: All-in-one HD body camera that does not include Wi-Fi® or GPS
lVISTA WiFi: All-in-one HD body camera that includes Wi-Fi and GPS
lVISTA XLT: Two-piece body camera system with an HD camera sensor separate from the
camera DVR; it includes Wi-Fi® and GPS
If your agency is using VISTA WiFi or VISTA XLT, you can pair the camera with a VISTA WiFi
Base that is associated with a 4RE DVR. The devices together form a recording group.
Note: If you are not sure whether your equipment has the Wi-Fi feature,
contact your WatchGuard representative.
Basic workflow
The following steps make up a basic workflow for using the VISTA Body Camera during your
shift:
Note: This workflow assumes the VISTA Body Camera battery has been fully
charged before the camera is checked out to start the shift.
1. With the VISTA Body Camera in the dock, provision the camera and then check it out using
your Evidence Library software. (page 35)
2. Undock the camera.
3. (VISTA XLT only) Connect the sensor head and cable to the main body of the camera, if not
already done. (page 19)
4. (VISTA WiFi and VISTA XLT only) Dock the camera in the VISTA WiFi Base (WiFi Base) to pair it
with the base and associate it with the local recording group. (page 44)
5. (VISTA WiFi and VISTA XLT only) Undock the camera after it has paired with the WiFi Base.
6. Attach VISTA or VISTA WiFi (page 15) or VISTA XLT (page 19) securely to your clothing.
7. Start and stop recorded events. (page 26)
8. Categorize recorded events. (page 29)
9. Power the camera off or on, as needed. (page 24)
10. Dock the camera to upload recorded events (page 37) and charge its battery (page 42).

Wearing VISTA and VISTAWiFi
Wearing VISTA and VISTAWiFi
VISTA and VISTA WiFi have four main mounting options. The quick mounting latch on VISTA
and VISTA WiFi attaches to any of the mounts:
lRotatable shirt clip (below)
lDuty belt clip (below)
lLocking chest mount (page 16)
lMOLLE vest loop mount (page 17)
Wear VISTA or VISTA WiFi on your clothing where it is most comfortable, convenient, and
secure for you. Make sure that the lens is not obstructed and that it is aimed at the horizon.
Using the rotatable shirt clip and duty belt clip
The rotatable clip mount uses a heavy-duty alligator clip that
rotates and slides to make it more convenient for you to secure
the camera.
The belt clip mount
uses an alligator clip
with a hook at the bottom to securely clip the camera
to your duty belt.
Both clips connect to the camera the same way:
1. Match the anchor tab on the back of the clip with the
slot on the back of the camera.
2. Match the mounting tab on the clip with the quick
mounting latch on the camera, then slide the latch
over the tab.
3. Attach the clip to your clothing or your belt where you
want to wear the camera.

Using the VISTA Body Camera
Using the locking chest mount
Warning! The chest mount uses magnets to hold the camera in place. Do not
wear the chest mount near sensitive medical equipment or implants such as
pacemakers or other magnetically programmable medical devices.
The chest mount uses magnets and locking pins to
secure the mount to your clothing. When you wear
the chest mount, one bracket goes under your shirt,
the other goes over your shirt.
Important! Because of the strength of the magnets, separating the brackets
requires effort. Realigning the brackets causes them to snap together forcefully.
To use the chest mount:
1. Separate the under-shirt bracket from the
over-shirt bracket.
2. Match the anchor tab on the over-shirt
bracket with the slot on the back of the
camera.
3. Match the mounting tab on the over-shirt
bracket with the quick mounting latch on the
camera, then slide the latch over the tab.
4. Place the under-shirt bracket under your
shirt where you want to wear the camera.
5. Place the over-shirt bracket, with the camera
attached, against the under-shirt bracket,
with your shirt between them.
The magnets on both brackets line up
automatically, securing the mount to your
shirt.
6. To lock the mount in place, slide both of the locking pins up into their safety housings.
Warning! The chest mount uses magnets to hold the camera in place. Do not
wear the chest mount near sensitive medical equipment or implants such as
pacemakers or other magnetically programmable medical devices.

Using the MOLLE vest loop mount
Using the MOLLE vest loop mount
Note: Some of the earliest versions of the VISTA Body Camera do not connect to
the MOLLE vest mount. Please consult with your WatchGuard representative for
more information.
The MOLLE vest mount uses hooks to anchor VISTA or
VISTA WiFi over two rows of loops on the MOLLE vest.
Tip: Install the mount on the vest before
you connect the camera to the mount.
To use the MOLLE vest mount:
1. Determine which two rows of loops on the MOLLE vest
you want to use to mount the VISTA Body Camera.
2. On the lower of the two rows, slide the forked end
down over the sewn seam between two loops until the
hook is engaged below the seam.
You may need to slightly twist the mount to help the
hook slide over the seam.
3. Slightly fold the fabric between the two rows so that
the upper loop hooks engage two loops on the upper
row of loops.
4. Slide the upper loop hooks down over the two loops,
straightening the fabric between the rows, to fully
seat the mount.
The forked end should be fully engaged with the seam
on the lower row of loops. The hooks should be fully
engaged with two loops on the upper row of loops.
5. Match the anchor tab on the bottom of the outward-
facing plate of the MOLLE vest mount with the bottom
slot on the back of VISTA.
6. Match the mounting tab on the top of the mount with the quick mounting latch on VISTA,
then slide the latch over the tab.
Note: The camera connects to the MOLLE vest mount in the same way it
connects to the shirt or belt clip. For more information, see Using the rotatable
shirt clip and duty belt clip on page 15.
