VIEWING THE VIDEOS
You must follow the steps in this section anytime you wish to view the videos on the Micro-SD storage card located in
the camera module. If the camera is already plugged into the computer, skip to step 3. If not, start with step 1. If the
product or Micro-SD card is new and no testing has been done, the card will not have any files.
1. Disconnect the camera module by following the steps in HOW TO DISCONNECT THE CAMERA MODULE on
page 3.
2. Plug the camera module into a USB port on your computer.
3. Open the drive for the storage card:
•
Use the AutoPlay menu for the Removable Disk that appeared when you first plugged in the camera module
by choosing OPEN FOLDER TO VIEW FILES or your computer may open the drive automatically.
4. Double-click the folder labelled DCIM.
NOTE: IF THE MICRO-SD CARD IS NEW OR IF YOU HAVE NOT DONE THE TEST ACTIVATIONS, THE DCIM FOLDER
WILL NOT EXIST YET.
5. The next set of folders you see are named by the date the videos were recorded. The folders holding the
videos for each day will be named with the following format:
YYYYMMDD (Year, Month, Day)
For example, all videos recorded on August 6
want to view and double-click the folder.
6. Within each folder, you will see all the video files recorded that day.
The video files will have the following format:
YYYY_MM_DD_HH_MM_SS (Year, Month, Day, Hour, Minute, Second)
The time stamp corresponds to the time the video started recording. The hours are listed in military time so
will appear as 00 through 23. For example, a video recorded on August 6
PM will have the filename 2016_08_06_15_07_22.
7. Click on any of the files to view the video that was recorded at that time.
NOTE: THERE IS A ONE (1) SECOND DELAY BETWEEN THE TIME WHEN THE VIDEO CAMERA FLOODLIGHT IS
ACTIVATED AND THE TIME WHEN THE CAMERA ACTUALLY STARTS RECORDING. MOVING OBJECTS MAY BE WELL
WITHIN THE FIELD OF VIEW OF THE CAMERA WHEN THE VIDEO STARTS.
NOTE: AFTER THE MICRO-SD CARD IS FULL, THE CAMERA RECORDS OVER THE EARLIEST RECORDINGS, SO MAKE
SURE YOU SAVE ANY FILES YOU WANT TO YOUR HARD DRIVE.
