VISTA WiFi or VISTA XLT behavior during a group recording
Each VISTA WiFi or VISTA XLT can only stop its own event when the user presses the
Record
Start/Stop
button.
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 a VISTA WiFi camera while
hearing audio from a VISTA XLT camera in the group.
VISTA WiFi or VISTA XLT behavior during a group recording
Any of the VISTA WiFi or VISTA XLT cameras in the recording group can start a recorded event.
The other devices in the group are informed of that change in recording status, so they can join
in the group recording, according to their individual configurations.
What happens when:
l
You try to manually start a recorded event on VISTA WiFi or VISTA XLT just after it has
automatically started an event as part of a group recording?
If you have pressed the
Record Start/Stop
button within 10 seconds of the automatic group
recording start, the camera asks you to confirm that you want to STOP the recorded event with
your
Record Start/Stop
button press. If you do not press the
Record Start/Stop
button
again within 5 seconds, the camera continues recording the event as part of the group
recording.
If you press the button a second time within 5 seconds, the camera stops recording the event.
Because VISTA WiFi and VISTA XLT connect to the recording group with a Wi-Fi connection
(through the WiFi Base), VISTA WiFi and VISTA XLT can move into and out of the recording
group range.
What happens when:
l
The VISTA WiFi or VISTA XLT that INITIATED the group recording moves out of range during
the group recording?
All the devices in the recording group keep recording until each individual member stops its own
event. The initiating device moving out of range does not affect the other devices' ability to
start and stop their own events.
The VISTA WiFi or VISTA XLT that went out of range keeps recording the event until it is
manually stopped. A device moving out of range does not affect its ability to start and stop its
own events.
l
A VISTA WiFi or VISTA XLT that is part of a group recording moves out of range during the group
recording?
The camera keeps recording the event until it is manually stopped. A device moving out of
range does not affect its ability to start and stop its own events.
l
A VISTA WiFi or VISTA XLT that is not currently recording an event walks into range of an
associated recording group network during a group recording?
When the camera moves into range, it is informed that its associated group has started a group
recording. It then can begin its own event to join the group recording, according to its individual
configuration.
