Connecting to your PC
You can
read the data on the microSD card
in the
RemoteCam
by connecting
the
RemoteCam
to your computer. To do this:
• Locate the mini-USB plug on the side of the
RemoteCam
.
• Find a spare USB port on your computer.…
• For maximum speed, find a free USB 2.0 port on your computer, and avoid
using USB extension cables or hubs.
• Connect the spare USB port on your computer to the mini-USB port on the
RemoteCam
using the supplied USB 2.0 cable.
• The
RemoteCam
will be detected as a USB storage device, and can be accessed
in the same way as you would any other USB flash drive.
• On this drive you will find a folder named “DCIM” - an acronym of
D
igital
C
amera
IM
ages.
• In this folder there are a series of folders, arranged chronologically, named
100MEDIA
,
101MEDIA
,
102MEDIA
and so on. The number of folders depends
on how many photos and videos you have taken with the
RemoteCam
.
• These folders contains all the recordings (both photos and videos) captured by
the
RemoteCam
in chronological order.
If it is more convenient you can use an SD card reader (either built into your PC or
attached via USB) to access your pictures and video. To do so:
• If necessary, attach the SD card reader to your PC.
• Remove the microSD card from the
RemoteCam
by pushing it in and releasing
so that it pops out.
• Insert the microSD card into your SD card reader. You might need to use an
SD-to-microSD card adaptor, if your card reader does not have a microSD card
slot.
Using the RemoteCam as a WebCam
You can use the
RemoteCam
as a webcam. To do so, you’ll need to grab the
drivers from our website, and install them to your PC. Then, you just have to
change the mode of the
RemoteCam
once it’s connected to your PC.
• Go to
http://www.swannsecurity.com/downloads/drivers/
• Open the folder called “RemoteCam”.
• Download and run the file named “SPCA1528_V2220_MultiLan_090217”.
• Follow the onscreen prompts. This program will install the drivers for the
webcam. If you get any “User Account Control” messages, allow the
installation to proceed (or the webcam functions won’t work).
• Once the installation is completed, attach the
RemoteCam
to your computer
as detailed above.
• When the computer detects the
RemoteCam
as an external storage device,
press and hold the power button for one second.
• Your PC will automatically finalize installing the webcam.
• The
RemoteCam
will appear in lists of available video devices as “SPCA1528
Video Camera Device”.
