Recording Group Overview
Recording Group Overview
When you dock V300 in the WiFi base, the camera pairs with the base. This pairing lets the camera
associate with other V300 Cameras as a local recording group.
The decision to create an event for the group recording is made by each device in the local recording group
network. This is called Distributed Multi-Peer Recording (Distributed Multi-Peer Recording)™.
Starting a recorded event on one device alerts the other devices in the group through the WiFi base that
there has been a change in recording status on that device. In response, the other devices in the group can
start recording the event, each according to its own configuration. Recordings from the individual cameras
are uploaded and automatically linked in evidence management software for viewing and sharing.
A local recording group may include:
l Up to eight V300 Cameras
l One WiFi base
l 4RE DVR, firmware version of 4.0.7 or later
