4. Getting Started

4.1 Installing the SIM Card

SIM Card Slot
Figure 7 — SIM Card Slot Location
  1. Power off the device.
  2. Locate the SIM card slot on the left side of the device (labeled "SIM").
  3. Open the protective cover by sliding it in the direction indicated.
  4. Insert a nano-SIM card with the contacts facing down and the notched corner oriented as shown on the slot label.
  5. Push the SIM card gently until it clicks into place.
  6. Close the protective cover securely.
Note: For most operations, a Patrol 6 SIM card is pre-installed and already provisioned for use. A SIM card is required for LTE cellular data connectivity, which enables real-time evidence upload and cloud management. If the SIM card slot is empty or a replacement is needed, contact your Patrol 6 administrator.

4.2 Installing the Battery

Battery Compartment
Figure 8 — Battery Compartment (cover and battery removed)
Inserting Battery
Figure 9 — Inserting the Battery
  1. Power off the device if it is on.
  2. Place the device face-up on a clean surface.
  3. Slide the front cover latch to the left to unlock, then lift and remove the front cover from the device body.
  4. Orient the battery with the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals matching the markings inside the battery compartment.
  5. Insert the battery into the compartment, contacts first, and press down until it seats firmly.
  6. Replace the front cover by aligning it onto the device body, pressing down firmly, and sliding the latch to the right as far as it will go. The latch is a compression slide — it will not click. Ensure the latch is slid fully to the right for proper operation and water tightness.

The mount system supports:

Warning: Ensure the camera is securely attached before patrol. A loose camera may fall and be damaged, or fail to capture critical evidence.

6. Basic Operation

6.1 Recording a Patrol

Patrol recording is managed automatically by the Patrol 6 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.

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

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

6.4 Taking a Photo

Short press the Snapshot button (right side, below the Pause button) to capture a still photograph. Photos are saved alongside the video evidence for the current patrol session.

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.

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

6.6 LiveAI

The LiveAI assistant provides real-time situational awareness through voice interaction.

6.7 Panic / SOS

In an emergency, activate the Panic/SOS function to immediately alert your dispatch center.

This sends an immediate alert with your GPS location to the Patrol 6 management platform.

6.8 Toggle AI Mode

The AI assistant can be set to different modes to control its level of engagement.
