BWC Operation

1. Set the POWER slide switch on the bottom of the Vantage unit to the ON position.

2. Insert and dock the Vantage unit into the Base Station in order to syne them together and to charge the BWC battery. Tips

Loading/unloading Recording Media

Before turning on the system, confirm that a media drive is loaded in the DVR. If not, insert the drive and lock it in place. If you remove the drive at the end of the shift (as opposed to using wireless file transfer), use the key to unlock the cartridge, then pull it out of the DVR and turn it in for ingestion into the database .

System Start-up:

Your system has been configured to power on and off automatically with the vehicle’s ignition, or you will control power with the small controller module pictured here. You
will also need to open the EyeHD program on your laptop (usually an icon for the program is added to the desktop to make this easier). Bootup should take a couple minutes.
Once live video is shown on the MDC display, the system is ready to operate.

MDC GUI Button Guide

As seen in the picture, the EyeHD MDC program has the following controls:

• Bkgd Drive Menu – admin access to optional background recording drive.
• Log-in Menu is used only for Agencies that require officer login.
• Playback Menu see above.
• Set-up Menu – select the icon then access the desired menu. Note most systems restrict access to admin-level screens.

• Auto Zoom-used to get a close-up image with a single press.
• GPS Mark- used to store GPS coordinates for important events.
• Stop-stops all recordings.
• In-Car Mic-toggles the ICM on and off.
• Playback Volume does not affect recorded audio levels
• Camera Buttons Start/Stop recordings for individual cameras.
• Bookmark-mark an important event on the video (during recording or playback).
• Front Camera Controls mimic most of the controls on the back of the camera.

Zoom Camera

1. 1. Confirm positioning by viewing live video on the monitor.
2. Press Autozoom to zoom in momentarily, pause and perform a momentary autofocus, then return to wide angle.
3. Day/night button turns on/off the night (b&w) mode, which may capture more information in low light.
4. Autofocus is not normally used and is recommended for occasional use only. We recommend against leaving the camera in Auto Focus mode full time.
   Note: The system powers up and automatically performs a momentary Autofocus. If the camera is pointed at a smooth blank wall, it may never find its point of focus, or focus too near the car to provide focused video at night. tis best to power the system on with the camera looking at distant objects. f this is not possible, after powering on, move the car so you can position the camera at distant objects and turn on Auto Focus. Watch the screen to confirm the camera has focused, then turn Auto Focus back of.
   Auto Focus is never recommended for use at night as there is seldom enough ambient light for the camera to focus properly.
