Mounting the Camera
Setting the Date and Time on a PC
IMPORTANT NOTE
: When stopping a recording push the button only 1 time. The
PenCam will write the video to memory. Depending on the length and complexity of
the video there may be several seconds delay. Do not push the button again during
this time or data loss may occur.
Note
: The PenCam will automatically save video in 20 minute blocks.
Note
: If you shift the selection switch from video mode to camera mode while re-
cording video, the Pencam will save the video and then enter camera standby mode.
To set the Date and Time so that your photos and video files are time and date
stamped:
1. Connect the PenCam to your PC.
2. Run the WriteTime.exe file on the included CD. It will find your PenCam after a
few seconds and the “Update” button will become clickable.
3. Click on the “Update” button. The PenCam will be set with the current date and
time from your computer by creating four files on your microSD card. Do not
delete these files.
4. Remove the PenCam from the computer and turn on the PenCam. Pictures and
videos will now be time stamped with the updated date and time.
Setting the date and time on Mac OS X
The writetime.exe file is for use only on PC. To set the time using Mac OS X, you will
need to create a text file and place it on the microSD card that you have installed in
the PenCam.
The text file must be called
time.txt
.
Inside the text file, type the date and time in the format:
yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss
.
Therefore, fifteen seconds past 2:02pm on December 25th 2012 would be written as:
2012-12-25 14:02:15
. Note the use of 24-hour time. Ensure you save your changes
and that the text file is located in the root of the microSD. This means it should not be
in any folders or sub-folders.
Remove the PenCam from the computer and turn on the PenCam. Pictures and
videos will now be time stamped with the updated date and time.
