Reviewing Files on a Computer
To view your files on a computer, simply connect the device via the supplied USB cord or by inserting the
device directly into a USB port, making sure the device is powered OFF. It will connect as a removable drive,
and depending on the settings on your PC, it may automatically notify you that new hardware has been
detected. If so, select Open Folder to View Files. (If nothing is happening when the device is plugged it, it may
be possible that the USB is either not properly connected or connected backward, we suggest reversing the
rotation 180 degrees of the USB connector and insure that the USB connections are lined up)
If it is not automatically detected, click Start on your desktop. Select My Computer if you are using Windows, or
Computer if using Windows Vista or Windows 7. The device should be listed as a Removable Disk under the
Devices With Removable Storage section. Open that drive, there should be 4 subfolders AUDIO, IMAGE,
SYSTEM, and VIDEO. The Video files will be stored in the VIDEO folder, the audio files in AUDIO folder and
photos in the IMAGE folder. As mentioned earlier, we suggest using VLC Player to play back video files.
On a Mac OS X System open the finder icon, the pen will be listed under devices in the left hand side on the
bottom of the finder menu with an eject button next to it. As mentioned earlier, we suggest using VLC Player to
play back video files in Mac.
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 named PC Camera_Driver 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 RECORD 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 Y)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.
