Mounting

The camera is designed to mount directly onto a Picatinny helmet rail mount, as shown below.

LED Illumination Control

The button which is mounted on the top of the HD helmet camera controls the activation state of 

the LED Illuminator. 

At initial power on the LED will switch on in low light levels determined by the integrated ambient 

light sensor. 

Following power on if the button is pressed it will disable the LED regardless of light level. Further 

presses of the button will cycle the LED to first switch back to auto state and then off and so on.
