7.1 – Downloading data 

SmartyCam

 can download data via USB (connecting the on board camera to the PC 

using the cable provided with the kit), or through the micro SD placed in the 

SmartyCam

 

rear, which will have to be inserted in the PC USB port. It is recommended to 

use 

exclusively a 2.0 USB port. 

Warning: when inserting/removing the Micro SD please make sure the flip on the 

rear is firmly closed.

7.2 – Viewing SmartyCam videos  

Videos recorded on 

SmartyCam

 micro SD are 

.avi files with H.264 codec

 and can be 

viewed on PC and on TV.

7.2.1 – Viewing SmartyCam videos on the PC 

To view the videos on a PC remove the micro SD from 

SmartyCam

 (only if Micro SD icon 

is not red) place it in the reader (or in a portable one connected to the PC like any USB 
pen drive) and manage it as an USB peripheral. 

Videos are in “

Video

” folder. 

It is reminded that – to see videos recorded with SmartyCam on the PC – a software 

compatible with H.264 format is needed. Were such software is not available, it is 

recommended to use “VLC Media Player”, which can be downloaded from 

www.videolan.org/vlc/.

7.2.2 – Viewing SmartyCam videos on the TV 

To view 

SmartyCam

 videos on the TV ensure that the DVD reader is compatible with 

”avi.” files with H.264 codec: otherwise the video file needs to be converted in a format 
compatible with the available reader. 
For example it is possible to convert the .avi file in a DVD, using a software like “Nero” 
version 8 or higher (www.nero.com) or similar software. 

If the reader does not have a Micro SD input, it is necessary to copy the video on to a DVD 
(or CD) using a burning software. 

Chapter 8 – SmartyCam Maintenance 

SmartyCam

 does not require any particular maintenance.  

Warning: it is strongly recommended not to open the camera.
