Camera Drive |

When connecting the cam using the USB connector
for the first time a box will pop up
"installing drivers" which are the USB mass storage device and video
camera USB device. A new drive will be listed on your pc, as example:
Removable Disk (J;) |
|
Pictures and
Videos |
|
All
media files will be saved to the "DCIM/100MEDIA
folder on the camera drive. Right click any of the media files you created
in the folder for options like Cut, Copy, Paste, Delete. What I do is
highlight all media (or edit, select all), cut
and paste them to a folder on my pc, this removes them off camera SD card and saves
them to pc. 25 minutes of recording time will put you around
2.2 GB.
This cam can do around 60 minutes of video on full charge.

|
Charging |
|
USB takes about 70 minutes
to fully charge if the battery is completely empty. When charging the
yellow led will remain solid, when fully charged the led will shut
off.
Using the car charger
the camera will automatically start/stop recording when power is
detected or not detected. Car charger can also charge and record at
same time.
Note: There are 3 cables for this camera, the RCA cable with red &
yellow ends used for A/V out, the single wire data cable that charges
or transfers data, the longer 2 wire car charger cable used with car
charger. |

SD Cards |
|
SD cards range from 2-32 GB. The
cards used are the Micro SD/TF/SDHC with storage space 4GB/8GB/16GB/32GB.
Tip: TF = TransFlash, SDHC = Secure Digital High Capacity. Your local
computer store may sell these cards but you will probably find them cheaper
online. The higher the class number (2, 4, 6...) the faster the read/write
speed. Transcend, Kinston, and SanDisk are popular
brands. 8GB class 4 or higher recommended. Class numbers will be circled, see pic
below.
Class is the rate in
which data flows to and from the card.
Example:
Class 2 = 2MB/second
Class 8 = 8MB/second
Class 10 = 10MB/second
This is the minimum data transfer for each card.
When inserting
the SD card the brass pins on card will face towards back of camera.
To remove or
insert SD card push card IN
until you hear a "click" sound.
