recording. Press the Power Button for a second. The Indicator Light will 

glow yellow; when the Indicator Light turns blue, the unit is recording.

Press the Power Button again for a second and the Indicator Light will turn 

yellow, indicating recording has stopped.

Recording can not be resumed until the unit has finished storing the 

previous video. It takes a few moments to store files; do not attempt further 

operations until files have been stored.

When videos are recorded consecutively, the system may store them as one 

video file.

NOTE: If the battery is low, the system will store the video and power off 

automatically.

picture-taking.

Short press the Power Button to take a picture. The Yellow light will flash to 

indicate a photo has been taken and stored.

NOTE: If the  DVRCS is left idle for a minute, it will power off automatically.

Changing Modes

In video mode, push the Mode Switch left to P to enter photo-taking mode. 

In photo-taking mode, push the Mode Switch right to V to enter 

video-recording mode and start recording.

When shifting from video mode to photo mode, the system will store the 

last recorded video before entering photo-taking mode.

Video Playback

connect DVR with PC  or  laptop.

DVSCR saves the video file before powering down.

 

Charging

Connect the unit to PC or laptop using the USB cable. If the battery is 

low, the Indicator Light glows yellow.  When the Indicator Light turns 

blue, the unit is fully charged. We recommend turning the unit off while 

charging.

For the first few charges, we recommend fully discharging the batteries 

before charging; this will optimize the battery's capacity and running 

time.

it. Insert toothpick or other nonmetal equivalent into reset hole and press 

the reset button slightly to reset.

The date and time of video recording is displayed in the top left corner of 

the screen (Example: 2010-01-01 10:08:28).

To reset or change the time,connect the unit to a PC and create a test file 

named

t under the root directory of the removable disk.  Open the  

file and change date and time information (see format above). Store the 

file, disconnect unit, and re-start.
