4. Power Charging
The camera can be powered using a power charger or a USB cable connected to a computer. The power charging instruction light (green) is ON while charging and OFF when the battery is full.

- b. Mini 10Ppin USB Interface: Supports USB communication, DC5V power input, CVBS output, and remote controller signal input functions.
6. Remote Controller
The remote controller function requires the included USB connection cable. Code matching is necessary before use.
Code Matching Instruction:
- Ensure the remote controller is ready. Turn ON the camera and connect the USB connection cable.
- Press and hold the Shutter button [button] for 2 seconds. The camera status light (green) will flash at 2Hz, and the sound indicator will beep once.
- Set the remote controller's 3 dip switches to the center position. Press and hold the Shutter button [button] for 2 seconds. The sound indicator will beep once, indicating success.
- Set the remote controller's 3 dip switches to the up position. Press and hold the Shutter button [button] for 2 seconds. The sound indicator will beep once, indicating success.
- Set the remote controller's 3 dip switches to the down position. Press and hold the Shutter button [button] for 2 seconds. The sound indicator will beep once, indicating success.
After successful code matching, the green light will turn OFF. You can then control photo or record functions using the remote controller's 3 dip switches.
Tips: Keep the controller's 3 dip switches in the middle position for standby status. Adjust to the up or down position for video or photo capture. Adjusting the dip switch back to the middle position will stop video recording. This prevents direct switching from video to photo mode, which could potentially halt the camera.
Reminders

If the battery is critically low and the camera is turned on, the sound indicator will emit 2 beeps before the camera turns off automatically.
