POWER, RECORDING and CHARGING ISSUES

When I power on the unit, the camera begins recording right away.

Possible Cause 1
You are using "Record After Startup" feature, which tells the camera to Record when powered on. This can be disabled with the Halo Setup Manager software.

You are using the "Pre-Record" feature, which tells the camera start Pre-Recording/saving up to a minute after powered on. This can be disabled with the Halo Setup Manager software.

When I plug the unit into a wall outlet to charge, the unit begins recording Video.

Possible Cause 1

There is no sound when I power on the unit.

Possible Cause 1
The speaker volume is set to OFF. Only vibration notifications will occur. You can raise the volume using the Halo Setup Manager software.

The unit suddenly plays an warning audio chip for 3 seconds while in stand-by, or while recording.

Possible Cause 1
The unit's battery is low and will soon automatically power off. Please charge your unit. Possible Cause 2 The unit's memory is full and cannot store and more videos or photos. Please clear files from memory to make room for more recordings.

Inside the camera storage, there is a folder called RO with files inside.

Possible Cause 1
The RO folder temporarily holds the Pre-Record portion of the videos. If you see this folder, it means that you have connected your camera to the computer while it was Pre-Recording. This causes the videos to become trapped in the folder, unable to be attached to their active-recorded videos because the process was interrupted when the unit was plugged in.

The unit vibrates occasionally during recording.

I have downloaded the Wolfcom Halo App from App Store / Google. I cannot get it to work.

The Halo App is for use with WEMS Enterprise only, and requires a licence key to activate. In brief, there are two (2) software packages to download for non WEMS Enterprise users: 1. The Halo Camera Manager (Setup Software) which allows you to adjust the cams settings, and also allows you to drop and drag the files over to your preferred storage on your pc. 2. (if required) The WEMS Lite (single-camera version) is a free Evidence Management Software that you can use for one camera (per sign-up). This enables an auto-extraction of the footage once one (registered) camera is inserted into the dock, as well as categorising files, easy search feature for files, etc. Please note that with WEMS Lite (Single User), one camera only can be associated with one registration email address, so for more than one camera, you will need to register two (+) email addresses when signing up. OR There is now a New BodyCam Sync™ Software or the WEMS Lite Pro (multi-cam) option, of which both have differing benefits, for up to 12 and 10 cams (respectively). They are compatible with both Wolfcom Vision and Wolfcom Halo Cameras and will download footage from all cameras simultaneously, under their respective licences. (More on these software options is shown here. Also the Full WEMS Enterprise Solution is recommended for medium to larger sized Councils and Organisations and has a huge list of great features – We'd be happy to show you an online demonstration on any of these software options if required).
