Data Transfer and File Management

1. Connecting to a Computer

You can transfer files to your computer using two methods:

• Direct USB Connection: Connect the camera directly to your computer's USB port using the provided USB cable. The camera will appear as a removable disk.
• Using a Card Reader: Remove the Micro SD card from the camera and insert it into a compatible card reader. Connect the card reader to your computer.

2. Viewing Files

Once connected, open the removable disk. You will find folders for 'AUDIO' and 'VIDEO'. Video files are typically in AVI format. It is recommended to use a media player like VLC for optimal playback.

3. Setting Time, Timestamp, and Lens Direction

The camera uses a 'TIME.TXT' file on the Micro SD card to configure settings such as recording time, time stamp visibility, and lens orientation.

1. Connect the camera to your computer or insert the Micro SD card into a card reader.
2. Open the 'TIME.TXT' file using a text editor (e.g., Notepad).
3. Adjust the settings according to the format YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS N 1.
4. To hide the time stamp, change 'Y' to 'N'. To display it, change 'N' to 'Y'.
5. The default lens orientation is '1' (correct when facing the back clip). If you want to record with the lens facing the side without the clip and have the image be normal, change '1' to '0'.
6. Save the file and safely eject the camera/SD card. Turn on the camera to apply the new settings.

Maintenance

• Keep the camera clean and free from dust and moisture.
• Avoid dropping the camera or subjecting it to strong impacts.
• Store the camera in a cool, dry place when not in use.
• Regularly back up your recorded files to prevent data loss.

Resetting the Camera

If the camera malfunctions, freezes, or fails to respond, you may need to reset it.

1. Locate the small 'RESET' hole on the side of the camera.
2. Using a thin, pointed object (like the reset pin provided in the package or a paperclip), gently press and hold the reset button inside the hole for a few seconds until the camera powers off or restarts.
3. This will restore the camera to its factory settings.

Troubleshooting

• Camera not turning on: Ensure the battery is charged. If fully charged, try resetting the camera.
• Cannot record: Check if a Micro SD card is properly inserted and formatted (FAT32). Ensure there is sufficient storage space.
• Video playback issues: Ensure you are using a compatible media player (e.g., VLC).
• Inverted video: Adjust the lens direction setting in the 'TIME.TXT' file (change '1' to '0' or vice versa).
• Camera freezes: Reset the camera using the reset pin.
