Video, Audio, and Subtitle Evidence
The VISTA Body Camera works as a DVR and camera combination to collect evidence in the
form of recorded events. A recorded event (or event) is a unique, protected segment of
recorded:
l Video (below)
l Audio (below)
l Metadata/subtitles (page 56)
When the VISTA Body Camera starts and then stops a recorded event (manually with a Record
Start/Stop button press or automatically as a member of a recording group), the camera
protects the video/audio/metadata segment between the start and the stop. The protected
segment is the recorded event.
Depending on the configuration applied to the camera, the camera may be capturing video all
the time or only during a recorded event. If the camera is capturing video all the time (Record-
After-the-Fact
®
(RATF) is enabled), only the protected segment (between the manual or
automatic start and stop) is a recorded event.
Video recorded before the event start or after the event stop is not protected unless it is added
to the event as pre-event or post-event video. If the camera is configured to enable pre-event
video, a recorded event also includes that pre-event time.
Typically, only recorded events are uploaded to your Evidence Library software.
