•
If the rechargeable battery is completely discharged, the LED indicator lights (7) flash blue
and red for approx. 10 seconds. After that, the last file recorded is stored and the book
camera switches off automatically. Then charge the rechargeable battery immediately.
• Although the capacity of the rechargeable battery is very high, it is recommended to recharge
it after approx. 6 months. Avoid allowing the rechargeable battery to discharge completely.
Operation
a) Inserting and removing a Micro-SD card
•
The product has no internal memory. It is therefore necessary to insert a memory card, in
order to save recordings. A Micro-SD memory card is not included in the scope of supply.
Micro-SD memory cards up to 32 GB are supported.
• Make sure before inserting and removing the memory card, that the slide switch MD OFF REC
is set to OFF and that the product is not connected with a computer or with a power source
via the USB cable. This can lead to damage to the memory card and/or the product.
•
Carefully insert a formatted Micro-SD card into the Micro-SD card slot (4) until it engages.
Ensure the correct orientation of the card, as shown in the above image and on the product.
Do not use excessive force when inserting the card.
•
Remove the Micro-SD card by briefly pressing it in and then releasing it. The memory card
can then be removed.
• Use a Micro-SD card reader and connect it to your computer to view the recordings on your
monitor. This requires suitable video software. The videos are recorded as AVI files.
Regularly backup the memory contents of your Micro-SD card. A loss of data can
occur unexpectedly and at any time. Also remember to back up your data before
formatting.
b) Setting the time, date and memory card mode
•
The time and date setting is optional. If required, you must connect the product in the
switched-off state to a Windows
®
or Mac computer using the USB cable. Leave the book
camera opened.
•
Then set the slide switch
MD OFF REC to REC. Wait approx. 12 seconds. A new drive
appears on your computer monitor. Open the drive and then the file YW_TIME.txt. While the
book camera is connected with a computer, the yellow LED indicator light is lit constantly. The
red and blue LED indicator lights flash.
•
Then change the parameters for date, time and memory card mode. The date and time
are displayed in the following format: yyyy-mm-dd (year-month-day) hh/mm/ss (hour/minute/
second). Adjust the date and time. For the last item one can select >yes< or >no<. With
>yes< the first file on the memory card is deleted when the card is full. All other files are then
also deleted, to create space for new recordings.
•
Select >no<, if the first file is not to be overwritten/deleted. When the memory card is full, in
this case the red and blue LED indicator lights flash for approx. 10 seconds, the book camera
then switches off.
• With some operating systems the external drive must be ejected before the USB cable
is disconnected from the USB port. Remove the USB cable from the computer and book
camera. The time settings are stored with the recordings.
•
Then set the slide switch
MD OFF REC to OFF.
c) Setting the book camera into operation
• Set the slide switch MD OFF REC to MD
(motion detector), in order to switch the camera
on for recordings with the motion detector. The blue and red LED indicator lights briefly light
up once. The red LED indicator light then flashes three times. As soon as a movement is
detected, the blue and red LED indicator lights briefly light up once. The red LED indicator
light then flashes three times. Every recording with PIR Sensor setting takes approx. 1 to
2 minutes. The recordings are performed until the memory card is full or the rechargeable
battery is empty.
• Set the slide switch MD OFF REC to REC
, in order to start an instant recording. The blue
LED indicator light briefly lights up once and then flashes three times. Every instant recording
takes up to approx. 2 minutes. After that another recording starts immediately. The recordings
are performed until the memory card is full or the rechargeable battery is empty. Set the slide
switch MD OFF REC to OFF, in order to stop the recording.
• When set to MD and there is no memory card in the card slot, the red LED indicator light
flashes for approx. 10 seconds. The book camera then switches off. When set to
REC and
there is no memory card in the card slot, the blue LED indicator light flashes for approx.
10 seconds. The book camera then switches off.
• Set the slide switch Audio ON OFF
(8) to
ON, in order to also record audio. Set the slide
switch Audio ON OFF to OFF, in order to perform the recording without audio.
• Position the book camera vertically, in order to perform an observation. Avoid extreme hot or
cold temperatures, as this can influence the function of the PIR sensor.
Observe the following
detection values for camera and PIR sensor:
PIR sensor: Detection angle 60
° vertical/horizontal
Objects are detected up to a distance of 5 - 8 m.
Camera: Angle of vision approx. 75
°
•
Take note, that approx. 2 seconds elapse between detection and recording. The book camera
should therefore not be used in an area in which objects are constantly in motion. This can
result in the wrong object being detected.
•
The book camera is equipped with an IR-LED (1). As a result it is possible to perform
recordings in the dark (night vision). Recordings with night vision are performed in black/
white and are possible up to a distance of 3 - 5 m. If there is sufficient light available, the
recordings are performed in colour.
•
The rechargeable batteries have a high capacity, so that a standby time of up to 24 months
is possible (dependent on the ambient conditions). You can therefore leave the book camera
in one place for a prolonged period, if only a few object movements occur in that area and
only a small number of recordings are performed. At full capacity the rechargeable battery
can provide a recording length of up to max. 9 - 10 hours with night vision (black/white) and
up to max. 30 hours in daylight (colour). Remember however, that the memory card does not
achieve this recording length.
•
Valid as a guideline for 1 GB memory is a recording time of approx. 10 minutes in black/white
(night vision) or approx. 7 minutes in colour (daylight).
• Set the slide switch MD OFF REC to OFF, in order to switch the book camera off.
• If the product does not perform any recording or does not respond otherwise, press the
button Reset
(5), to reset the book camera.
Cleaning and care
•
Turn off and disconnect the product from the mains before each cleaning.
• Under no circumstances use aggressive cleanings agents, cleaning alcohol or other chemical
solutions since these can penetrate the housing or impair functionality.
• Never submerge the product in water or other liquids.
•
Clean the product with a dry, fibre-free cloth.
Disposal
Electronic devices are recyclable waste and must not be disposed of in the
household waste. At the end of its service life, dispose of the product in accordance
with applicable regulatory guidelines.
You thus fulfill your statutory obligations and contribute to the protection of the environment.
