Adding sensors
About sensors
Sensors are used by your TomTom Bandit to record data simultaneously with your video, audio or
photos. This makes it easier for you to find the highlights in the video when reviewing it.
There are two types of sensors for your TomTom Bandit - built-in sensors and external sensors.
Note: Your TomTom Bandit stores all sensor data in the resulting .MP4 file.
Built-in sensors
For more information about built-in sensors, see Sensors in your camera.
External sensors
External sensors are external devices that you can link to your TomTom Bandit to provide extra
information about your activity.
You can attach an external heart rate monitor using a Bluetooth Smart (BLE) connection. This sensor
measures your heart rate during your sport or activity. The external TomTom Heart Rate Monitor is
available as an accessory.
Your TomTom Bandit tries to connect to external sensors when recording starts and/or when you
look at a Metrics screen. When recording stops, or the Metrics screen is closed, the connection to
the sensor is dropped.
Sensors built in to your camera
Highlights are automatically added to your video using inputs from sensors to highlight the most
exciting parts of the action. The following inputs from built-in sensors are used:
Maximum speeds.
Maximum g-force.
Maximum acceleration.
Maximum deceleration.
Vertical speed.
The GPS location is also recorded.
The input from sensors is also used for action metrics to show you full details of your activities on
your videos and photos. The data is stored with your videos and photos.
You can also use external sensors, for example a heart-rate monitor, to enhance your action
metrics.
An optional external mono microphone can also be connected to your TomTom Bandit.
