Operate your camera
Before operating a Body 4 Camera, ensure it is fully charged and properly configured.
For details, see Charge the battery on page 45.
Operating modes
This camera has two operating modes:
l
Ready (Buffering) – Camera is on and is pre-event buffering
l
Recording (Event) – Camera is recording
Turn on the camera and Ready mode (buffering)
Press Power until you feel a short vibration. The camera emits two short rising-pitch
tones with a long vibration and then enters Ready (Buffering) mode.
When the camera is in Ready mode:
l
The camera display shows READY
l
The operation LED on top of the camera blinks green
l
The camera is capturing video but does not record to permanent memory.
The pre-event buffer is configurable between 0 and 120 seconds, but set at 30
seconds by default.
When Recording (Event) mode is activated, the buffered video captured directly
before the event is saved and attached to the event in permanent memory. This
feature is intended to capture the video of an incident just before a recording begins.
Body 4 does not capture audio within the pre-event buffer by default (but can be set to
do so by an admin).
Ready mode starts after the camera is turned on. The system does not record video
when the camera is turned off, in Sleep mode (see page 16), or docked.
