If your agency is also using the FlashbackHD in-car video system, the auto-trigger function will remotely trigger recordings in two additional ways. Additional Triggers (Flashback Only) Trigger Type Description BWX-to Flashback Automatically start a Flashback recording whenever an officer starts a BWX-100 recording within line sight of a Flashback that is less than 100 feet away. Flashback-to-BWX Automatically start a BWX-100 recording whenever a Flashback recording is initiated* within line sight of a BWX-100 that is less than 100 feet away. To configure your BWX-100 to broadcast and receive remote record trigger messages, login to DES and select Enabled from the Remote Triggering drop-down list. This will cause two things to happen: Whenever you start a recording, your BWX-100 will broadcast a remote record trigger message, which in turn will cause all in-range devices to start recording. Whenever you receive a remote record trigger message from another device when your device is idle (i.e., not recording), your BWX-100 will automatically start recording. NOTE: When remote triggering is disabled, the BWX-100 will not be able to broadcast or receive remote record trigger messages.

The following is an overview of the steps involved in setting up the BWX-100 with your DES software. The specific procedures involved in each of these steps are referenced in various sections throughout this document. Make sure that you perform these steps in sequential order. In collaboration with your agency’s Network/IT staff, determine the range of IP addresses that are not currently being used by Flashback DVRs, access points, or Backup PCs on the L3 Mobile-Vision network. Write this information down, as you will need it the next time you contact L3 Mobile-Vision Service. Set up an Uplink Station for your BWX-100s, as pictured in Figures 1 – 3 beginning on page 19. The server switch should contain the network environment for your L3 specific devices (i.e., Flashback DVRs, robotic DVD burner, and wireless access points). Your agency’s Network/IT staff can assist you with this task. Place your BWX-100 in one of the docking stations in your Uplink Station. Leave it there until the word CHARGED displays, indicating that the device is fully charged.

Configuring BWX-100 to Work with DES Before you begin using your BWX-100, you must change certain settings in DES. As with Flashback videos, BWX-100 videos are typically linked to a particular officer, that is, the officer who recorded the video or captured the snapshot. To create this link, DES includes an Officer Dispatch feature that is somewhat similar to the USB Login Key feature used with Flashbacks. Specifically, the Officer Dispatch feature allows you to assign different BWX-100 devices to different officers each shift. This allows multiple officers working different shifts to share a limited number of BWX-100 devices. Once an officer completes his shift and places the BWX-100 back in its docking station, the system uploads that device’s files and flags the device as “In” (i.e., available). You may then reassign that DVR to a different officer. Alternately, some agencies may choose to assign one “take home” BWX-100 to each officer. This eliminates the need for the Officer Dispatch feature. Instead, you simply enter each officer’s name on their BWX-100 record. In the future, all videos recorded on that device will then be linked to that officer. WARNING: Under certain circumstances, your L3 Mobile-Vision Service profes-sional may provide you with a procedure used to reset the configuration file within your BWX-100 device. If you are familiar with this procedure, do not use it again unless instructed to do so by an L3 Mobile-Vision Service professional! Doing so could interfere with DVR-to-server communication, making it impossible for you to upload your videos to the server.
