6.2 – How to switch SmartyCam on/off
SmartyCam can be switched on in two ways:
•
pressing “2” button, or
•
connecting the external power cable to SmartyCam : as soon as the camera detects
the 12V power on pin 3 the of 7 pins connector (see appendix “B”) it switches on.
SmartyCam can be switched off in the following ways:
•
pressing “2” button any time “Off” option is available
•
pressing “2” button for 10 seconds. This forced option is to be used ONLY in case
the camera locks up, as this method can lead to cancellation of some of the latest
recorded data/images
•
automatic switch-off: if still for a fixed time (no button pushed, no acceleration/speed
detected), SmartyCam will switch automatically off. In standalone mode auto power
off is after 15 minutes of inactivity while in slave mode it is after 6 hours.
NOTE : this function can be disabled in “ SETTINGS” menu ( “AUTO POWEROFF” option).
