Do not plug the TASER CAM cable into a PC or wall charger if there is physical damage to

Leaving the TASER CAM out of an X26 for more than four hours without replacing it with a
DPM/XDPM may result in problems such as corrupted data, clock errors, software
problems, and weapon failure.
THE TASER CAM: A GENERAL OVERVIEW
The TASER CAM is an optional device for use with any X26. It does not change any of the
existing functions of the weapon. The TASER CAM, with its microphone and sensitive
camera, adds to the X26 the ability to record audio and video, even in low light
environments, while being powered from a rechargeable battery.
The TASER CAM is also available without the audio recording capability for locations
where audio recording is restricted.
The TASER CAM comes with PC software that downloads firing records and audio/video
files and stores them in a searchable library. Firing records can be downloaded from the
weapon using both the TASER CAM download cable and the previous (firing record data-
only) download cable that came with the X26. The software also generates reports that
include firing/video data and use of weapon by month.
TASER CAM Features
•
Infrared illumination that allows for low-light recording. The infrared light
automatically adjusts to the level of lighting in the environment. Because the TASER
CAM has an infrared light, the X26 device’s Low Intensity Lights (LIL) are not
required for low-light operations.
•
A fully charged battery will provide enough power for approximately 100 five-second
firings at 77 °F (25 °C) and 2 hours of video/audio recording.
Note:
Only the last 1.5
hours of video will be stored.
•
The TASER CAM records both video and audio any time the safety is in the up
(ARMED) position, and stops recording when the safety is in the down (SAFE)
