Playback and File Management

Once you plug the watch into a USB port on your computer, you’ll find the recorded 
content in an external drive subdirectory such as: D:\DCIM\100DSCIM. Use playback 
software (not included) such as the VLC Media Player to play video, a paint or 
photo viewing program to review photos and a music or media player to hear audio 
recordings.

Use your computer’s file manager to copy files to your computer and delete files from 
the HD Spy Watch’s internal memory. Once the camera’s memory fills up, you must 
start deleting files to make room for new videos, photos or audio recordings.

FAQs

Can the camera be set for loop recording?

No. Once the internal memory fills up, the camera will stop recording. You must 
transfer and delete files manually using your computer.

Can the device be used as a live webcam?

No. When the HD Spy Watch is plugged into a computer’s USB port, you can only 
play and manage its recorded content.

Can the camera record video while plugged into a USB power port?

No. The camera can only record while powered from its battery. 

Can the recording resolution be changed?

No. Video is always captured at 1920 x 1080 pixels.

Can the audio be disabled during video recording?

Yes. That is, if you screw off the tiny knob with the hole at 4 o’clock and replace it with 
the included mic shutoff knob (without hole) that cuts off the path to the microphone.

How much memory does a 15-minute video file use?

More than 1GB.

What happens when a recording exceeds 15 minutes?

A new file is automatically started. Since it is contiguous, you shouldn’t lose content.

Do the three inner clocks on the watch face operate?

No. They’re only there for show.
