Recording Group Members
A recording group consists of a network of devices communicating with each other whenever one of
them changes its recording status. Although a recording group is typically linked to a vehicle, the V700
can form its own recording group.
A local recording group can include the following elements:
• Up to eight V700 or V300 cameras
• One WiFi Base
• 4RE DVR, firmware version 4.0.7 or later (optional)
• M500 DVR, firmware version 1.0.5.43 or later (optional)
• A Smart Power Switch
V700 Camera Functions
As part of the local recording group network, the V700:
• Pairs with the WiFi Base
After docking and pairing the cameras with the WiFi Base, the pairing associates the cameras with
the local recording group.
NOTE: You can have a maximum of eight cameras in a recording group with one WiFi Base.
• Connects to 4RE DVR firmware version of 4.0.7 or later (optional)
• Connects to M500 DVR firmware version 1.0.5.43 or later
• Connects to the Smart Power Switch
• The Smart Power Switch functions as the central connection point for a recording group
Through the Smart Power Switch, the devices connect together to form a network, letting the 4RE
or M500 DVR and/or V700 group members communicate with each other.
• Intelligently manages power within the local recording group network
The Smart Power Switch can detect the status of the devices in the network, whether they are
powered on or have powered themselves off after finishing event upload or charging. When the
switch detects that the devices in the local recording group network no longer need power, it shuts
down any remaining devices connected to the local network, including itself.
• Initiates group recordings
The V700 notifies the WiFi Base that it started a recorded event. The WiFi Base then uses the
group network to notify the other group members that V700, has started an event. The other group
members can join the group by starting their own recorded events.
• Responds to group recording starts or stops by other group members
Through the recording group network, the WiFi Base is notified by other group members when they
start or stop a group recording. The base notifies the cameras and a camera can start or stop its
own recorded event with the recording group.
NOTICE: If the 4RE DVR, M500 DVR, V700, or V300 are members of the same recording
group, the 4RE or M500 DVR can initiate group event starts, stops, and categorization. Also,
the V700 or V300 can join in on the group actions depending on your agency evidence
management system configuration.
IMPORTANT: If a V700 moves out of range of its associated recording group network, it
does not receive notifications of group recording starts and stops until it is back in range.
The V700 provides a wireless access point (hotspot) for the SmartControl smartphone
application. For information about connecting the SmartControl application, see
SmartControl for Mobile on page 73.
