Powering on and off your 4eyez system
Your 4eyez CCTV system will automatically come on when you start your car and is powered by the ignition. If you are using your car for personal use and wish to turn off your system you can do this by using the switch located close to where the box has been installed. This switch is usually in the boot of your vehicle in a discrete location. Your installer will show you where exactly the power switch is. There is an LED indicator on the switch if it is lit up, the system will have power if not, the system will be turned off.
How your audio recording works
Your 4eyez CCTV system comes equipped with two audio buttons. These buttons are usually attached to either or both courtesy light/s in the vehicle. The buttons are located in the front and rear of your vehicle to ensure that they are accessible at all times by all passengers and the driver. The system records video at all times but will not record audio unless either of the buttons is activated. When the audio button is pressed the system records both video and audio into one synchronized file. You can clearly see when audio is being recorded as the button will light up to indicate this.
Additional Information
In addition to the audio buttons and cameras, you will have a system heath indicator. This will have three LED lights on it. The green light is to show that the system is recording, the yellow is to show that the unit is powered and the red is for faults.
Your 4eyez CCTV system is wired to a permanent live source. This is in order to adhere to your council specification which states that the system must have access to power, even when the ignition is switched off. So, make sure to turn the system off when it is not needed, otherwise it could drain your battery.

If any issues occur then don’t hesitate to contact us so that we are able to rectify the problem with minimal inconvenience. All our systems come with a 12-month warranty as standard. If you have any further questions about your system, please contact us as soon as possible. Not forgetting that on the 12 month anniversary of the original installation your system should be brought in for annual maintenance.

WARNING
Any interference with any component of the system is not allowed. Including repositioning of cameras or audio buttons. This will invalidate your warranty and result in a failure to comply with council specification and license revocation.
As the registered driver of your vehicle, you are solely responsible for ensuring that your 4eyez CCTV system is powered on while the vehicle is in use as a private hire taxi. Failure to turn on your system at the start of every shift could result in you being penalized for failure to comply with the council legislation and lead to your license being revoked and legal action taken against you.
4EYEZ USER GUIDE
Thank you for choosing 4eyez your independent witness. This User Guide is here to help you understand your system and how to get the most out of it. In this manual we will be covering:
- How your system works
- How your system health button works
- how to contact us should you need us
- Incident procedure
How your system works
By request of the council a 4eyez system must turn on with the start of the car. In addition, when needed the system can be turned on using the switch in the boot space. Your vehicle will have a minimum of 2 cameras inside the vehicle. These cameras are able to see all passengers inside the vehicle and will always record video. In addition to your cameras, you will have two audio buttons installed in convenient places for all personal inside the vehicle to reach. When these buttons are activated, the camera will start to record audio as well as video. You can tell when the button has been pressed and audio is on by the built in LED indicator. When the light is on, so is the audio. The final piece of equipment installed inside the car is the system health indicator. All of the data is inaccessible to you and stored on the MDVR fitted in the car. The MDVR is not to be tampered with under any circumstance. Any tampering from anybody who is not authorised to work on the box will result in your warranty being voided.
The system health indicator
The system health indicator will be placed inside the vehicle and should be visible to the driver. Built into the device are three LED indicators Green, Yellow and Red.
| LED Colour | Status | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Green | Always on | System is recording |
| Yellow | Always on | DVR is on |
| Red | Blinking slowly | Error – no disk found |
