Covert Mode

With Covert Mode enabled, the VISTA Body Camera sounds no tones, lights no LEDs, and only

lights the Display Backlight on demand. For instructions how to enable Covert Mode on the

camera, see Covert Mode on page 87.

Pre-Event

The pre-event feature enables the VISTA Body Camera to continuously record then save video

for a period of time before a recorded-event start (manual or automatic). The pre-event video is

added before the start of the recorded event.

Note: VISTA WiFi and VISTA XLT can start a recorded event automatically when

associated with a recording group. For more information about starting events,

see Starting and Stopping a Recorded Event on page 34.

For example, you start a recorded event, manually or automatically, at 2:15 PM. You stop the

event, manually or automatically, at 2:35 PM. After adding a configured pre-event video time of

1 minute, the recorded event includes video recorded from 2:14 PM to 2:35 PM.

VISTA Body Camera pre-event video time can be None up to 2 minutes. You configure the

pre-event feature in your Evidence Library software.

Audio

Audio is not typically included with pre-event video. Typically, the VISTA Body Camera only

begins to record audio when you start a recorded event.

You can include audio whenever the camera is recording (recorded events, pre-event, and

Record-After-the-Fact®) if you enable the Force Microphone On feature. For information about

this feature, see Force Microphone On on page 83.
