About the V300 Camera
Video, Audio, and Subtitle Evidence
The V300 works as a DVR and camera combination to collect evidence in a recorded event. A
recorded event is a unique, protected segment (page 38)of recorded:
l Video
l Audio (page 38)
l Subtitles (page 38)
Video
The V300 records one stream of video and compresses it using h.264 high-profile compression.
Depending on the configuration applied to the camera, the video quality can be:
l High Dynamic Range function (HDR) (not available at 60 frames per second)
HDR synthesizes different exposure conditions into an image so that bright and dark data can
be seen at the same time. Lets you capture brilliant colors even when video is taken against
bright light for video imaging and still imaging.
l High Definition (HD), 1080p, at a rate of 30 frames per second, 1920 by 1080 pixels
l High Definition (HD), 720p, at a rate of 30 or 60 frames per second, image resolution of 1280
by 720 pixels
Audio
The V300 records CD quality audio with dual microphones that give minimal distortion and wind
noise. Depending on the configuration applied to the camera, it can:
l Continuously record audio
l Only record audio during recorded events
The V300 provides a continuous mute option that can be set by an Administrator in the EL
software configuration. If continuous mute is enabled, hold down the top button for two
seconds to cause the microphone to stay muted during an active recording event. While muted,
the camera:
l Displays MUTED on the LCD (RECORDING displays on the LCD in a smaller font)
l Alerts you every 15 seconds (alert type set in EL)
The speaker provides better audible feedback.
Evidence Library will add the configuration to use audio feedback when you select Event
Categories. When you toggle to the next sequential category, the camera plays a
click or buzz sound or series of clicks or buzzes to denote which category is
selected (i.e. play two rapid clicks when toggled to the second event category) ?
Subtitles
Subtitles are the text information that can be overlaid on the video. Subtitles can include:
