6. Basic Operation

6.1 Recording a Patrol

Patrol recording is managed automatically by the PATROL6 software. When a user logs in with their PIN and confirms their site assignment, recording begins automatically. Recording continues until the patrol is ended through the on-screen interface.

6.2 Event Recording

Event recording captures high-priority incidents with elevated upload priority.

• Start Event: Long press the front Main Button or the top-right side button.
• Stop Event: Long press the same button again.

During an event, both the red and blue LEDs will be illuminated. Event footage is uploaded with critical priority.

6.3 Pausing and Resuming Recording

• Pause: Short press the Pause/Resume button (rectangular button, right side).
• Resume: Long press the Pause/Resume button.

During a pause, the LED indicators will show green/yellow. Audio and video recording are suspended while paused.

6.4 Taking a Photo

Long press the Snapshot button to toggle stealth mode on or off. In stealth mode, all LEDs and screen backlight are turned off for covert operation while recording continues.

6.5 Night Vision

The P1 features infrared night vision for low-light and no-light environments.

• Toggle Night Vision: Press the Night Vision button (left side, below the Mic/Down button).

When activated, the IR LEDs illuminate the scene with infrared light invisible to the human eye, and the camera switches to IR capture mode.
