USING THE CAMERA MODULE WITH APPLE MAC OS
You will need to reference the main manual for other non-Apple specific operations.
The instructions in this addendum depict the steps to take when using an Apple computer running MacOS. If you are
using a computer with Windows, please refer to the main instructions included with the product.
SETTING THE DATE AND TIME ON THE CAMERA MODULE (MAC OS)
This section covers the steps you need to take to ensure your camera module has the correct date and time for your
time zone; however it is not required and the video camera floodlight will still function and record videos if this section
is skipped.
1. To set the time and date, the camera module must be removed from the floodlight and connected to a computer
via the USB port.
2. Plug the camera module into a USB port on your computer. Two new drives should appear in the upper right-
hand corner of your desktop. The Sync Program drive will appear as a DVD called "SyncCameraClock" and the
storage card will appear as a removable drive called "NO NAME".
3. Open the "Sync Camera Clock" drive. You will see two folders: "Mac OSX" and "Windows".
4. Open the "MacOSX" folder and you will see the Sync program. The camera does not automatically sync when
you plug the camera into a USB port. You must run this program to sync the camera.
5. When the program opens, you will see a display that shows the date and time on the computer listed as "PC
Clock" and the date and time on the camera listed as "Camera Clock". They will most likely be different as the
camera has not yet been synced. Click the "Time Synchronize" button to sync the camera clock to the computer
clock.
Before:
NOTE: YOU WILL NEED TO SYNC THE CAMERA MODULE AGAIN WHEN SEASONAL TIME CHANGES OC¬CUR.
THE CAMERA MODULE WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY ADJUST THE TIME. SYNCING THE CAMERA MODULE TO A
COMPUTER ENSURES YOU HAVE THE PROPER TIME.
NOTE: IF THE VIDEO CAMERA FLOODLIGHT IS OFF OR THE BATTERY HAS NO POWER FOR MORE THAN FOUR (4)
DAYS, THE DATE AND TIME ON THE CAMERA MODULE MAY SLIP AND NO LONGER BE ACCU¬RATE ONCE THE
VIDEO CAMERA FLOODLIGHT IS SWITCHED BACK TO AUTO. REPEAT THE SETTING THE DATE AND TIME SECTION
ABOVE TO SYNC THE CAMERA AGAIN. BE SURE THE BATTERY PACK IN THE VIDEO CAMERA FLOODLIGHT IS FULLY
CHARGED AS WELL.
