Note:

Items covered in this section are informative only and do not explain how to set up each agency's specific devices. Many configurations of hardware and software are possible and unique to each deployment. Consult the how-to section for each solution for how to configure specific solutions, or contact [email protected] for assistance.

Overview

Templates are collections of Sensors & Events assigned to a Unit configuration (either through a unit configuration template or individual configuration) in the hardware tab. The purpose is to provide a set of rules to follow as configured events occur. Typical templates might include:

• Start Recording (Wireless Mic)

• Start Recording (Light Bar)

• Bookmark Video (Wireless Mic Mute Pressed)

• Log Heartbeat (Hall Sensor)

• Open Front Door (Front Door open on key)

Configuring templates is extensive and unique to each deployment. Once the required sensors and events have been created, they can be added to as many templates, Units, etc. as required by the Agency. This allows for the maximum configuration of units an Agency needs to dictate.

See the image below for how to access the Sensors & Events Template page:

 

Add or Modify an existing template

Perform the following steps:

1. Click on the Page icon or select a template from the list, then click on the Wrench icon.

Caution:

Any changes made to a Sensors & Events template will be applied automatically to any Unit with that template assigned. Use caution BEFORE pushing changes to avoid disrupting systems currently being operated. Contact [email protected] for assistance.

Apply template to Unit Configuration

Once a Sensors & Events template is created, it must be applied to a Unit Configuration template in order to be applied to a Unit. This is covered in detail in Unit Configuration > InCar Configuration > Hardware Interface.
