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) through an agency network access point. The
connection between the wireless radio and the agency network (EL4 Web) 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. VISTA WiFi acts as
an 802.11n Wi-Fi access point (hotspot) for the smartphone.
For information about connecting the VISTA SmartConnect application to VISTA WiFi, see
Appendix A: Using VISTA SmartConnect
Group recordings
When 4RE and VISTA WiFi or VISTA XLT are associated with each other in a recording group,
the devices collaborate to start and stop their recorded events together. This collaboration
creates a group recording: multiple devices in the same recording group creating individual
recorded events of the same incident. Combined into the group recording, 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
.
When you upload a group recording to your Evidence Library software, the individual events are
automatically linked together as a group recording. When you play back the events from the
group recording, your Evidence Library software can play back one or more of them
synchronized in time. For example, you can play back video from the 4RE DVR while hearing
the audio from one of the VISTA WiFi cameras in the group.
For information about synchronized playback of group recordings, see your Evidence Library
software documentation.
