Using the Z12 Zetta Widget Software
To adjust the date and time in your camera and to customize the Z12’s range of
features, you must first download and install the Widget software on your Windows or
Macintosh computer. Use your computer browser to go to:
http://support.spytec.com/help/article/link/zetta-widget.
Choose the Zetta Widget for a Windows PC or a Mac. Once the program is installed
an icon on the upper left corner of the Zetta Widget software is red when the camera
isn’t connected to a USB port on the computer and green when it is.
Note:
The software refers to the camera as the DVR as in “digital video recorder”.
The Zetta Widget menus can be viewed in English, French, German, Italian,
Spanish
and Chinese (simplified or traditional).
Adjusting the Camera’s Settings from the Software
Using the included USB cable, attach the camera to the computer where the Zetta
Widget software is installed.
When the Z12 is attached to the PC, two lettered drives appear: one drive is the SD
card (where the files are stored) and one is the camera’s internal memory. The latter
has a small amount of on-board flash for settings and firmware. It’s not sufficient to
store video.
The camera must be plugged into your computer to use the software. If the camera
is not connected, you’ll see an unplugged icon in red next to “DVR disconnected” at
the top of the screen. When the camera is connected using the included USB cable,
you’ll see a plug in green followed by “DVR connected.”
Note:
Whenever you change settings in the software, they must be transferred to the
camera. Click on the circular icon to the left of “Sync Settings to DVR” to complete
your choices. A confirming
check mark
in green next to “Settings Saved” will appear
on the screen.
Setting the Date and Time
In order to superimpose the correct date and time in videos recorded with the Z12,
you must use the Zetta Widget software. With the plug icon shown in green and
labeled “DVR Connected,” click on the clock in the left icon. You can accept the PC
Date Time active on your computer or you can click on the Custom Date Time. Either
way, make sure to click on Sync Date Time to DVR so that the settings are saved
