TASER CAM User Manual

Avoid dropping the TASER CAM.

Only recharge the TASER CAM using the approved cable(s) and charger.

Do not plug the TASER CAM cable into a PC or wall charger if there is physical damage to the cable.

Do not unplug the USB download cable from the PC while downloading from the device.

The camera lens can be scratched if not handled with care, possibly resulting in a distorted image.

Leaving the TASER CAM out of an X26 for more than four hours without replacing it with a DPM/XDPM may result in problems such as corrupted data, clock errors, software problems, and weapon failure.

THE TASER CAM: A GENERAL OVERVIEW

The TASER CAM is an optional device for use with any X26. It does not change any of the existing functions of the weapon. The TASER CAM, with its microphone and sensitive camera, adds to the X26 the ability to record audio and video, even in low light environments, while being powered from a rechargeable battery.

The TASER CAM is also available without the audio recording capability for locations where audio recording is restricted.

The TASER CAM comes with PC software that downloads firing records and audio/video files and stores them in a searchable library. Firing records can be downloaded from the weapon using both the TASER CAM download cable and the previous (firing record data- only) download cable that came with the X26. The software also generates reports that include firing/video data and use of weapon by month.

TASER CAM Features

Infrared illumination that allows for low-light recording. The infrared light automatically adjusts to the level of lighting in the environment. Because the TASER CAM has an infrared light, the X26 device’s Low Intensity Lights (LIL) are not required for low-light operations.

A fully charged battery will provide enough power for approximately 100 five-second firings at 77 °F (25 °C) and 2 hours of video/audio recording. Note: Only the last 1.5 hours of video will be stored.

The TASER CAM records both video and audio any time the safety is in the up (ARMED) position, and stops recording when the safety is in the down (SAFE)
