2. Inserting and Formatting the Micro SD Card

The camera supports Micro SD cards from 8GB to 128GB. A Class 10 or higher card is recommended for optimal performance. Before first use, it is crucial to format the Micro SD card on a computer to ensure compatibility and proper function.

1. Open the Micro SD card slot cover on the camera.
2. Insert the Micro SD card into the slot until it clicks into place.
3. Connect the camera to your computer via the USB cable.
4. Access the camera's storage drive on your computer.
5. Right-click on the Micro SD card drive and select "Format." Choose the appropriate file system (e.g., FAT32) and start the formatting process.
6. Once formatted, safely eject the camera from your computer.

The camera supports loop recording, meaning when the memory card is full, it will automatically overwrite the oldest files to continue recording.

3. Setting Date and Time (Timestamp)

The camera can embed a timestamp (date and time) on your recordings. To set or disable this feature:

1. Connect the camera to your computer via the USB cable.
2. Open the camera's storage drive.
3. Create a new text file (e.g., time.txt) in the root directory of the Micro SD card.
4. Edit the text file to reflect the current date and time in the format YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS (e.g., 2024-07-26 14:30:00). To disable the timestamp, you might need to set it to YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS N or refer to the specific instructions in the included manual.
5. Save the file and safely eject the camera. The camera will update its internal clock upon the next power cycle.
