2. Inserting a Micro SD Card

Note: A Micro SD card is essential for recording. The device will not record without one.

Operating Instructions

1. Power On/Off

To power on the device, press and hold the power button for a few seconds until the indicator light illuminates. To power off, press and hold the power button again until the light turns off.

3. Motion Detection Mode

To activate motion detection recording, refer to the specific button sequence in your included physical manual (as this is a one-button device, specific modes are usually toggled by multiple presses or long presses). In motion detection mode, the camera will only record when movement is detected, saving battery life and storage space.

5. Gravity Sensor Function

The integrated gravity sensor ensures that your video recordings are always oriented correctly, whether the device is placed horizontally, vertically, or at an angle. You do not need to manually adjust the orientation.

6. Accessing Recordings (Two Ways to Read Files)

To view your recorded videos, you have two options:

1. Direct Connection: Connect the device to your computer using the provided Micro USB cable. The device should appear as a removable disk, allowing you to access the video files stored on the Micro SD card. Use Port 1 for data transmission.
2. Using a Card Reader: Remove the Micro SD card from the device and insert it into a Micro SD card reader (like the one provided) connected to your computer. This allows direct access to the files.
