6. Viewing and Managing Files
To view recorded files, connect the camera to your computer using the provided USB cable or by inserting the Micro SD card into the card reader and then into your computer's USB port. The camera or card will appear as a removable disk.
Open the drive to access the AUDIO and VIDEO folders, which contain your recorded sound and video files, respectively. The 'TIME.TXT' file is used for setting the recording time, time stamp, and lens direction.

The 'TIME.TXT' file allows you to customize the timestamp and lens orientation. Open the file with a text editor and modify the settings in the format YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS N 1 (or Y). 'N' hides the timestamp, 'Y' displays it. '1' is for normal lens orientation when facing the back clip, '0' is for normal orientation when facing the side without the back clip.
