Other devices in the system
l Radio
If present in the system, the wireless radio connects to the Smart Power Switch.
The 4RE DVR and VISTA WiFi or VISTA XLT (through the VISTA WiFi Base) can use the radio to
interact with Evidence Library 4 Web (EL4 Web) or EvidenceLibrary.com (EL) through an
agency network access point. The connection between the wireless radio and the agency
network (EL4 Web or EL) is independent of the local recording group network.
l MDC/laptop
If present in the system, the MDC (mobile data computer) or other laptop computer connects
to the Smart Power Switch.
The computer only connects into the system through the Smart Power Switch; it is not
powered through the switch. If the computer is configured to be a DHCP client, it can also get
its network address from the Smart Power Switch.
l VISTA SmartConnect smartphone application
If present in the system, SmartConnect connects wirelessly to VISTA WiFi or VISTA XLT. VISTA
WiFi or VISTA XLT acts as an 802.11n Wi-Fi access point (hotspot) for the smartphone.
For information about connecting SmartConnect to VISTA WiFi or VISTA XLT, see Appendix A:
Using VISTA SmartConnect on page 99.
Group events
When devices are associated with each other in a recording group, the devices can collaborate
to start and stop their recorded events together. This collaboration creates a group event:
multiple devices in the same recording group creating individual recorded events of the same
incident. Combined into the group event, the individual events from different perspectives
create a more comprehensive view of the incident.
For more information on recording groups and individual group members, see Recording groups
on page 91.
When a group event is uploaded to Evidence Library software, the individual events are
automatically linked together as a group event. EL can play back the events from the group
event synchronized in time. For example, EL can play back video from the 4RE in the recording
group with video and audio from one of the VISTA WiFi cameras in the group.
For information about synchronized playback of group events, see your Evidence Library
software documentation.
