6. Operating Modes

6.1 Video Recording (1080P/720P)

After powering on, the camera typically defaults to a standby mode. Press the Mode button to cycle through available recording resolutions (e.g., 1080P, 720P). Once the desired resolution is selected (indicated by the indicator light), press the Power button briefly to start recording. Press the Power button again to stop recording and save the file.

In standby mode, press the Mode button until the indicator light signifies motion detection mode. In this mode, the camera will automatically begin recording when motion is detected and stop when motion ceases, saving the footage to the SD card.

To view recorded files, connect the camera to a computer using the USB cable. The camera will appear as a removable disk. You can then access the video files (typically in AVI format) and transfer them to your computer for playback. Alternatively, you can remove the MicroSD card and insert it into a card reader connected to your computer.
