To set the correct date and time stamp for your recordings:
- Connect the pen camera to your computer using the USB cable.
- Open the removable disk drive that appears.
- Create a new text file named "time.txt" in the root directory of the memory card.
- Open "time.txt" and enter the current date and time in the format: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS (e.g., 2026-02-12 14:30:00).
- Save the file and safely eject the pen camera from your computer.
- The time stamp will be updated the next time the camera is powered on.
Operating Instructions

- Power On: Long press the power button until the indicator light turns on (e.g., blue light).
- Power Off: Long press the power button again until the indicator light turns off. The device will save any active recording before powering down.
Video Recording
- While the device is powered on, press the power button once.
- The indicator light will flash (e.g., blue light flashes then turns off) to indicate that video recording has started.
- To stop recording, press the power button once again. The indicator light will turn back on, and the video file will be saved automatically.

File Management
Accessing Files
To view or transfer your recorded videos and photos:
- Via USB Cable: Connect the pen camera to your computer using the provided USB cable. The device will appear as a removable disk. You can then copy files directly.
- Via Card Reader: Remove the microSD card from the pen camera and insert it into the provided card reader. Connect the card reader to your computer's USB port. The card will appear as a removable disk.
Loop Recording
The pen camera supports loop recording. When the memory card is full, the oldest files will be automatically overwritten by new recordings. This ensures continuous operation without manual deletion of old files.
