V300 Special Features
Record-After-the-Fact
®
The Record-After-the-Fact (RATF) feature lets you continuously capture and save video you can
use to generate an RATF event. You enable RATF in your Evidence Library software.
The V300 works as a DVR and camera combination to record events. When you start and stop a
recording the camera protects the segment between the recording start and stop as a recorded
event.
Tip: V300 can start and stop a recorded event automatically when associated
with a recording group (page 21).
Generating an RATF event
If RATF is enabled on the V300 Camera, you can use your Evidence Library software to send a
manual request to the camera to generate and retrieve an RATF event. An RATF event typically
consists of video that was not originally part of a recorded event. For more information about
generating and retrieving an RATF event, see your Evidence Library software user guide.
Important! The Evidence Library software can only send an RATF event request
to a V300 Camera docked in the USBbase.
Storage
When you enable RATF, the camera overwrites the oldest unprotected (nonrecorded event)
area in storage with any newly captured video or recorded events. This process can continue
until the camera's storage is filled with recorded events (protected recordings). Then you must
upload recorded events to your Evidence Library software to free up storage space before you
can continue to use the camera.
Audio
Audio is NOT typically included in the saved video when RATF is enabled. The V300 only begins
to record audio when a recorded event is started.
You can include audio whenever the camera is capturing and saving video if you enable the
Force Microphone On feature (page 55).
