- Indicator Light: Displays the device's status (e.g., charging, recording, standby).
- Camera Lens: The primary component for capturing video and images.
- On/Off Button: Used to power the device on/off and initiate/stop recording or photo capture.
- Reset Button: A small pinhole button to reset the device if it becomes unresponsive.
- Card Slot/USB Port: For inserting the Micro SD card and connecting the pen to a computer for charging or data transfer.
Setup
- Charge the Device: Before first use, fully charge the camera pen. Connect the pen to a USB power source (e.g., computer USB port, USB wall adapter) using the provided USB cable. The indicator light will show charging status and turn off or change color when fully charged.
- Insert Micro SD Card: The pen comes with a 32GB Micro SD card. Locate the card slot (often near the USB port). Gently insert the Micro SD card into the slot until it clicks into place. Ensure the card is inserted correctly to avoid damage.
- Set Date and Time (Optional but Recommended): To ensure accurate timestamps on your recordings, connect the pen to a computer. The device may create a text file (e.g., "time.txt" or "userconfig.txt") on the Micro SD card. Open this file and edit the date and time format as specified in the file (e.g., YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS). Save the file and safely eject the pen. The time will synchronize upon the next power-on.
Operating Instructions
Power On/Off
- Power On: Press and hold the On/Off button for a few seconds until the indicator light illuminates. The pen will enter standby mode.
- Power Off: In any mode, press and hold the On/Off button for a few seconds until the indicator light turns off. This saves any current recording and powers down the device.
Video Recording
- Ensure the pen is powered on and in standby mode (indicator light solid).
- Press the On/Off button once briefly to start video recording. The indicator light will typically flash slowly or turn off to indicate recording is in progress.
- To stop recording, press the On/Off button once briefly again. The indicator light will return to solid, indicating standby mode. The video file will be saved automatically.
- The device supports loop recording, meaning when the memory card is full, the oldest files will be overwritten by new recordings.
Taking Photos

- The specific method for taking photos may vary. Some models require a quick double-press of the On/Off button, or a separate mode button if available. Refer to the quick start guide included in your package for exact photo capture instructions.
- The indicator light will typically flash once to confirm a photo has been taken.
