Categorizing a Recorded Event
Categorizing a Recorded Event
Note:
Event categorization is set up as part of a configuration in WatchGuard
Evidence Library software.
You use the
Display Backlight
button on the VISTA Body
Camera to select a category to apply to a recorded event. The
Display Backlight
button is on the right side as you look at
the front of the VISTA, VISTA WiFi, or VISTA XLT DVR.
If the camera is configured to require categorization, when
you stop an event, the display immediately prompts you to
select an event category.
If your VISTA WiFi or VISTA XLT is a member of a
recording group
, the camera can automatically accept an
event category from the 4RE DVR group member as its own
category. However, any category selected directly on VISTA
WiFi or VISTA XLT overrides the 4RE category. For more
information on recording groups, see
VISTA XLT with a Recording Group
If your VISTA WiFi or VISTA XLT is connected to the
VISTA SmartConnect smartphone app
, you can
categorize an event using SmartConnect. Any category selected on SmartConnect overrides a
4RE category. If you categorize an event on both the VISTA WiFi camera and the smartphone
app, the last selected category, regardless of the device, will be applied to the event. For more
information on using the smartphone app, see
Categorizing a recorded event on the camera
To categorize a recorded event:
1. Stop the event manually or allow VISTA WiFi or VISTA XLT to stop the event automatically.
The display shows the
Category
prompt.
2. Press and release the
Display Backlight
button as many times as needed to move through
the list of available event categories, one at a time.
3. Press and hold the
Display Backlight
button for at least 2 seconds when the event category
you want to select shows on the display.
The display reads
SAVED
and shows which category you selected. One long tone sounds with
a vibration (depending on your alert notification selections).
If another recorded event starts (manually or automatically) while the camera is in the middle
of the event categorization sequence, the camera aborts the sequence and starts the new
event. You will be able to categorize the recorded event later in your Evidence Library software,
if necessary.
