Step 3: Downloading Images/Video Clips
When the ViviCam 3826 is turned on and connected to your computer, it is considered to be a
disk drive, just like a floppy disk or CD. You can download (transfer) images by copying them
from the "removable disk" ("untitled" disk on a Macintosh) to your computer hard drive as
described in the prior section.
For Computers Running Windows
Open the “removable disk” and subsequent folders by double clicking on them. Double click
on the folder. Your images are inside these folder(s). Select the images that you want, then
choose “Copy” from the “Edit” menu. Open the destination location (folder) and choose “Paste”
from the “Edit” menu. You may also drag and drop image files from the camera to a desired
location.
For Computers Running Mac OS
Open the “untitled” disk window and the hard disk or the destination location. Drag and drop
from the camera disk to the desired destination.
It is recommended that you use the AC power adapter as a power supply for the camera while transferring your
images and video clips from the camera to your computer to avoid the camera maybe cut off unexpectedly when the
batteries run out.
Memory card users may prefer to use a memory card reader (highly recommended). Memory card readers offer
advantages in terms of convenience, speed, and cost-savings. While connected to your computer the batteries in
your camera will be continue to be used. A card reader, which has no batteries and uses USB power from your
computer, will save considerably on batteries.
