Video, Audio, and Subtitle Evidence
The VISTA Body Camera works as a DVR and camera combination to collect evidence in the
form of recorded events. A recorded event is a unique, protected segment of recorded:

l
Audio (
l
Subtitles (
When you press a
Record Start/Stop
button to start and then stop a recording, the VISTA
Body Camera protects the video/audio segment between the two button presses as a recorded
event.
If your VISTA WiFi or VISTA XLT is a member of a recording group
, the camera can
also start or stop a recorded event automatically when alerted by another group member that
the other group member has started or stopped an event. VISTA WiFi and VISTA XLT protect
the segment between the automatic start and stop in the same way they protect the segment
between the manual button presses. Both protected segments are recorded events.
