Introduction
The Flashback is an in-car digital video recorder that can be installed inside a patrol
car and/or interview room. This recorder collects video evidence and stores it tem-
porarily on an SD card until the video can be transmitted to a storage server back
at your agency or precinct. The Flashback is part of L3 Mobile-Vision’s digital
evidence collection system. This system is comprised of multiple in-car and back-
office components, as described below.
Flashback’s in-car components include the DVR, DVR monitor, forward-facing
“zoom” camera, Backseat camera (optional), Bullet cameras (optional), VoiceLink
Plus wireless microphone, and Crash Sensor (optional).
F
lashback’s “back office” components are housed in or around the agency or precinct
building and typically include a storage server, robotic disc burner, PC workstation
(used to control the disc burner), Digital Evidence Series software, and one or more
access points (for more on access points, see Glossary).
The manner in which videos upload to your storage server depends on the type of
Digital Evidence software that you purchased. Our Linux-based server applica-
tions, such as Digital Evidence Pro (DEP), are designed to transmit video to the
storage server wirelessly. Other systems, such as Digital Evidence Viewer (DEV),
require that you upload your videos manually from an SD storage card.

Mobile-Vision currently sells two models of the Flashback: Flashback3 and
FlashbackHD. Both models share similar features and functionality, with two key
differences. First, the FlashbackHD can capture video at a higher resolution than the
Flashback3—1280 x 720 pixels vs. 720 x 480 pixels for the Flashback3. Secondly,
the Flashback3 comes with the Nite-Watch camera, whereas the FlashbackHD comes
with either the HD Digital Zoom camera or the newer 10x HD Optical Zoom camera.
