What is the TASER CAM Recorder?
The TASER CAM recorder is an optional accessory for use with TASER X26™ electronic control device (ECD). It
does not change any of the existing functions of the weapon. The TASER CAM system, with its microphone
and light-sensitive camera, adds audio and video recording capabilities to the X26 ECD. It is also rechargeable.
The TASER CAM recorder can be configured without the audio recording capability for locations where audio
recording is restricted. Configuration settings are available in the EVIDENCE Sync software.
The TASER CAM recorder works with EVIDENCE Sync software to download audiovisual files onto a local
computer or server and store them in a searchable library. Files may also be stored on the EVIDENCE.com
website, offering digital storage in a highly secure easily accessible environment.
TASER CAM General Features
The latest TASER CAM recorder improves upon the previous TASER CAM product with enhanced image and sound
quality.
A fully charged battery will provide enough power for approximately 100 5-second firings and approximately 4.5
hours of video/audio recording at VGA quality.
The TASER CAM system records both video and audio any time the ECD’s safety is in the up (ARMED) position, and
stops recording when the safety is in the down (SAFE) position.
NOTE: There is an approximate 2-second delay between the safety switch being placed in the up (ARMED) position
and when the TASER CAM begins to record.
The TASER CAM recorder stores the video and audio records; the X26 ECD stores the firing records. Because these
data are kept in different places, the same recorder and ECD should be used together.
There is a distinct difference between the TASER CAM battery and a DPM/XDPM battery pack. The TASER CAM battery
supplies less voltage to the X26 ECD than a standard X26 DPM/XDPM battery pack, therefore when a TASER CAM is
installed the X26 ECD’s Low Intensity Lights may flash when the unit is firing. This is normal and DOES NOT indicate
a low battery or a low power output.
