3.6 Time Setting (Timestamp)

After the camera starts video recording, a text file named SETTIME.TXT will be automatically generated on the memory card. To set the time:

  1. Connect the camera to a computer (see Video Reading).
  2. Open the SETTIME.TXT file.
  3. Correct the date and time to the current values (e.g., 2023-10-27,14:30:00).
  4. The first letter in the file controls Loop Video (Y for on, N for off).
  5. The second letter controls whether the video file indicates time (Y for yes, N for no).
  6. Save the document and safely eject the removable disk.
  7. The new video recording time will be updated automatically upon the next recording.

3.7 Video Reading

You can access recorded videos in two ways:

  • Via Card Reader: Remove the Micro SD card from the camera and insert it into a card reader connected to your computer.
  • Via USB Cable: Connect the camera to your computer using the USB cable. Long press the Motion Detection key for 2 seconds to activate standby mode, allowing the computer to recognize the camera as a removable disk.

4. Maintenance

  • Optimal Placement: For best image quality, ensure the lens is focused on the object and keep it approximately 50cm away. This helps achieve correct colors, clarity, and stable images.
  • Charging: Always use a 5V/1A charger. While the camera operates during charging, ensure a stable power source for continuous operation.
  • Cleaning: Gently wipe the lens with a soft, lint-free cloth if it becomes dirty. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.

5. Troubleshooting

  • Camera does not turn on: Ensure the camera is connected to a stable 5V/1A power source. The camera does not have an internal battery and requires external power to operate.
  • Cannot record anything:
    • Verify that a Micro SD card is properly inserted into the TF Card Slot.
    • Check if the Micro SD card is full (if loop recording is off).
    • Ensure the camera is in the correct recording mode (video or motion detection).
    • Try formatting the Micro SD card (back up important data first).
  • Poor video quality:
    • Ensure the lens is clean.
    • Check lighting conditions; while it has night vision, extreme darkness can still affect quality.
    • Ensure the camera is placed at an optimal distance (around 50cm) from the subject.
  • Timestamp is incorrect: Follow the
