SLDC2 User Guide Issue 1.0
Whilst the USB standard allows for only limited length cables, it is
possible to buy a USB extension cable up to 5m long. The USB menu
option allows you to leave a USB lead permanently connected to your
SLDC2 as the unit will behave the same way each time you connect your
computer. If set to MSDC you can access your recordings without having
to recover the SD card. If set to PC Camera you can use the SLDC2 as a
web camera and record directly to your PC (Additional software
required).
When connected to your PC, the SLDC2 draws its power from the PC.
Therefore, in the event of a power failure and assuming your PC still has
power (like a laptop or a computer with an uninterruptible power
supply) your SLDC2 will continue to operate in either mode.
When mains power is connected and your SLDC2 is operating as a PC
camera the floodlight on your SLDC2 will continue to operate
independently, turning on when movement is detected. In this mode,
the light level at which the floodlight comes on is determined by the LUX
setting.
Should power fail whilst your SLDC2 is connected to a PC, the unit will
continue to work as a PC camera or removable disc drive, but the
floodlight will stop operating.
NOTE: When you disconnect the SLDC2 from your PC, it will reset.
