position. Note: There is an approximately 1.5-second delay between the safety
being placed in the up (ARMED) position and when the TASER CAM begins to
record.
• The TASER CAM contains the video and audio records; the X26 contains the firing
records. Because these data are kept in different places, it is preferred to use the
same TASER CAM and X26 together.
• There is a distinct difference between the TASER CAM battery and a DPM/XDPM.
The TASER CAM supplies less voltage to the X26 than a standard X26 DPM/XDPM,
so the X26’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.
MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Windows 2000/XP
128 MB of RAM
1 GB of available disk space
Internet access (recommended)
USB 2.0 port
Note: It is advisable to not use USB hubs. Due to variations in hub designs, they are not as
reliable as computer USB ports for use with TASER CAM software.
Windows Media Player 9.0 or later
CHARGING THE TASER CAM
Note: The TASER CAM must be fully charged using the wall power charging cable, not the
USB, prior to the first use (before it is inserted into a X26). It is advisable to download and
save the X26’s firing logs before upgrading the weapon software.
After the initial charging cycle is complete, there are two ways to recharge the TASER
CAM: through a wall power charging cable or a PC USB download cable. Depending on the
amount of charge in the battery, it may take up to 5 hours for the TASER CAM to fully
charge. Charging can be accomplished with the TASER CAM in the X26 or independently
(with the TASER CAM out of the X26).
Charging the TASER CAM Using the Wall Power Charging Cable
1. Connect the wall power cable to the TASER CAM.
2. Connect the wall power cable to a wall outlet.
3. A green light near the TASER CAM lens will flash to indicate charging.
4. When charging is complete, the green light will remain steady.
