Xignal Pro M535 5G Body Camera
4K on 5G with Wi-Fi 6, two swappable 3,200 mAh cells and a 60 mAh backup so the clock never resets. Rated down to minus 30 degrees and up to plus 55.
Supplied and configured for use across the GCC
Overview
What the M535 does
The Xignal flagship. 4K through a Sony-class sensor, 5G and Wi-Fi 6 for the live picture, and a dedicated second sensor for night vision rather than an infrared filter swung across the main lens.
Two 3,200 mAh cells swap in turn and a 60 mAh backup holds the system up between them. The whole thing runs Android 13 behind a 3.1-inch multi-touch display.
Where it fits best
- Command-led operations that need 4K on a live 5G feed
- Continuous duty where the camera cannot be allowed to power down
- Cold-store, high-altitude or extreme-temperature environments
- Checkpoints wanting a second camera angle on the same device
- Fleets standardising on Xignal docks and evidence software

Questions
Before you specify the M535
Questions we are asked about this model.
Why two batteries and a third small one?
The two 3,200 mAh cells are the working pair and swap in turn. The 60 mAh backup holds the system up while you change them, so the camera does not power down and the clock, the network registration and the recording session all survive the swap. It is the difference between a battery change and a restart.
What is the second camera for?
It is an option, not standard. Specified at order, it adds a 1080p sensor covering 100 degrees or more, so the device can hold two angles at once. At a checkpoint that usually means one on the subject and one on the vehicle or the wider scene. If you want it, say so when we quote, because it cannot be added later.
How does the night vision differ from the other models?
Most cameras in this class swing an infrared filter across the main lens at night. The M535 has a dedicated second sensor for it, an SC230AI, with two high-power infrared lamps and automatic switching. The manufacturer publishes face recognition at 5 metres and outline detection at 10. Keeping night vision on its own sensor means the main 4K lens is not compromised to accommodate it.
Why does the M535 quote minus 30 degrees?
Cold stores, chilled logistics and high-altitude work, all of which exist in hot countries too. For most deployments the figure that matters is the other end: plus 55 degrees operating. That is above the ambient in almost any climate, with room for a camera sitting in direct sun on a uniform.
Does 4K over 5G mean the control room sees 4K?
No, and no camera in this class does. What 5G gives you is the bandwidth to carry a genuinely usable live picture while the 4K file is written locally at full quality, and the headroom for that to keep working when several officers stream from the same cell. The evidential file is the one on the camera.
How does it compare with the Hytera SC880?
They are the two 5G flagships and they are close. Both record 4K, both are IP68. The SC880 has the wider lens at 130 degrees diagonal, 300 seconds of pre-event recording and a hot-swap that keeps recording through the change. The M535 has two swappable cells rather than one, Wi-Fi 6, a dedicated night-vision sensor and the wider temperature range. Tell us the deployment and we will tell you which.

What the rules ask
The M535 Against Common Requirements
The rules differ by country, but they ask the same things of the footage: that it can be shown to be unaltered, that only authorised people saw it, and that the people recorded were told. They also tend to reach further than buyers expect, covering inspectors and contractors working for a public body as well as police.
No camera answers all of it on its own. What follows is each requirement, and the part of the system that meets it.
- Encrypted, tamper-protected storage: AES-256 applied on the device as footage is written
- Retention managed to policy: configurable retention rules on a private server you control
- A register of authorised users and access levels: roles and permissions in evidence management
-
No copying to personal devices: extraction runs through the dock, with no removable-media
path off the camera - Sharing only on written approval: every share carries an approval record and an audit entry
- People must be told they are being recorded: front-facing indicator and pre-record announcement
- Training before officers are deployed: an obligation that sits with the deploying entity rather than the hardware
