Categorizing a Recorded Event

Note: Event categorization is set up as part of a configuration in WatchGuard

Evidence Library software.

You use the Display Backlight button on the VISTA Body

Camera to select a category to apply to a recorded event. The

Display Backlight button is on the right side as you look at

the front of the VISTA, VISTA WiFi, or VISTA XLT DVR.

If the camera is configured to require categorization, when

you stop an event, the display immediately prompts you to

select an event category.

If your VISTA WiFi or VISTA XLT is a member of a

recording group, the camera can automatically accept an

event category from the 4RE DVR group member as its own

category. However, any category selected directly on VISTA

WiFi or VISTA XLT overrides the 4RE category. For more

information on recording groups, see Using VISTAWiFi or

VISTA XLT with a Recording Group on page 89.

If your VISTA WiFi or VISTA XLT is connected to the

VISTA SmartConnect smartphone app, you can

categorize an event using SmartConnect. Any category selected on SmartConnect overrides a

4RE category. If you categorize an event on both the camera and the smartphone app, the last

selected category, regardless of the device, will be applied to the event. For more information on

using the smartphone app, see Categorizing Recorded Events on page 113.

Categorizing a recorded event on the camera

To categorize a recorded event:

1. Stop the event manually or allow VISTA WiFi or VISTA XLT to stop the event automatically.

The display shows the Category prompt.

2. Press and release the Display Backlight button as many times as needed to move through

the list of available event categories, one at a time.

3. Press and hold the Display Backlight button for at least 2 seconds when the event category

you want to select shows on the display.

The display reads SAVED and shows which category you selected. One long tone sounds with

a vibration (depending on your alert notification selections).

If another recorded event starts (manually or automatically) while the camera is in the middle

of the event categorization sequence, the camera aborts the sequence and starts the new

event. You will be able to categorize the recorded event later in your Evidence Library software,

if necessary.
