Smart Power Switch
As part of the local recording group network, the Smart Power Switch functions as the local network
DHCP server for the local recording group network and other devices connected to it, such as wireless
radio.
The Smart Power Switch is required to form a recording group. There can only be one Smart Power
Switch in a recording group.
NOTE: M500 In-Car Video Systems with firmware version 1.1.0 or later automatically have the
Integrated Smart Power Switch functionality enabled. External Smart Power Switch hardware is
no longer required.
4RE and M500 DVRs
NOTE: The 4RE DVR must be at firmware version 4.0.7 or later to participate in a recording
group. The M500 DVR must be at firmware version 1.0.5.43 or later to participate in a recording
group.
If your agency uses the 4RE or M500 DVR as part of a local recording group network, the 4RE or
M500 DVR:
• Initiates group recordings
4RE and M500 uses the group event network to inform the other group members when it starts an
event. The other members can join by starting their own recorded events.
• Stops group recordings
Only the 4RE or M500 DVR can stop all recorded events that are part of the group event at the
same time
• Responds to group recording initiation by other group members
Through the group event network, the 4RE or M500 DVR is informed by other group members
when they start a recorded event. The 4RE or M500 can then join the group by starting its own
recorded event.
• Passes on its event categorization to other members' recorded events in the group recording
The category you assign to a recorded event on the 4RE or M500 DVR is passed to other group
members' recorded events. The other group members can choose to categorize their own recorded
events, overriding any category passed to them by the 4RE or M500 DVR.
• Shares Covert Mode entry and exit with other group members
Other members can choose to enter or exit Covert Mode, and there can only be one 4RE or M500
DVR in a recording group.
For more information about the 4RE or M500 DVR and group recordings, see the 4RE DVR In-Car
Video User Guide or M500 In-Car Video System User Guide.
IMPORTANT: The 4RE or M500 DVR is not required to form a recording group.
Other Devices in a Recording Group
Other devices in a recording group can include the following:
Radio
If present in the system, the wireless radio connects to the Smart Power Switch.
The 4RE or M500 DVR in addition to the V700 can use the radio to interact with your agency
evidence management system through the Smart Power Switch, an agency network access point.
The connection between the wireless radio and the agency network is independent of the local
recording group network.
MDC or Laptop
The MDC (mobile data computer) or other laptop computer connects to the Smart Power Switch.
