Using Your Device as a Webcam
This device can only be used as a webcam on 32-bit Windows operating systems. If you are not using a
Windows computer, or are using a 64-bit Windows computer, this function will not work.
To use your device as a webcam, you will first need to install the driver from the included CD. Run the
executable file

to install it. Follow the prompts on your screen and then reboot your computer.
To access the webcam functionality of the device, with power off, hold down the ON/OFF button and connect
the device to your computer via USB. This should mount the device on your PC in webcam mode.
Setting Time and Date
Setting the time and date stamp on your device is easy. Simply create a .txt file on your computer and name it
“time”. In that file you will enter the date and time in the following format: year.month.day hour:minute:second.
(Ex. 2011.01.31 12.00.00 Y3)Setting Time and Date
To turn the time and date stamp off, enter N instead of Y.
There is also a sample txt file on the included CD.
Once you’ve created the file, connect the device to your computer via USB and save the .txt file to the device’s
root directory NOT IN ANY OF THE SUB FOLDERS. When you connect the device to your computer, it will be
assigned a drive letter (ex. C:, D:, E:). When you open that drive, you are in the root directory, or topmost level
of the drive.
After you have loaded the file, safely disconnect the device from your computer, turn the device on and off, and
the time and date you loaded should now appear on any new videos and photos you record.
