Operating Your 808 Keychain Video
Camera
1. Charging the Battery
The battery in the 808 Keychain video camera
is a built-in lithium rechargeable battery. You should
recharge it before using the camera. The method
for charging is:
Connect the 808 Keychain video camera to
your computer using the supplied USB cable.
During the charge cycle the yellow light will
flash slowly. When it is fully charged, the yellow light
will stop flashing and remain steadily illuminated.
Notice:
When battery power is too low, the
camera will enter into protection mode. In this state,
it cannot be turned on. It should be recharged for
video operations.
2. Turning on the 808 Keychain video camera
Please confirm the TF (micro SD) card has
already been inserted into the product! This
camera does not come with a TF card, and it
must be supplied by the user of the device.
This
camera does not support T-flash cards greater than
16GB of storage.
NOTE:
Make sure a T-Flash (Micro SD) card
has been inserted before turning on the camera. If
a T-Flash card is not installed, the yellow light will
begin flashing fast, and the camera will power off
automatically after 15 seconds.
3. Making a Video Recording
To Start Recording:
Press and hold the “VIDEO/CAMERA” button
for 3 seconds. The yellow indicator light will flash
quickly three times, and will then go dark. It is
now recording video (it is in stealth mode so other
people can’t tell it is recording. Remember, it is a
spy camera).
To Stop Recording:
To stop recording, press-and-release the
“VIDEO/CAMERA” button. The yellow indicator light
will flash briefly and then again become steadily
illuminated.
IMPORTANT!
Before turning the unit off or
restarting the video camera, pause a few seconds
to allow the video file to be written to the memory
card. Turning on the video camera too soon will
create incomplete video files.
The lens is not designed for close-up videos.
You’ll need at least 50cm (about 20in) between the
lens and the subject for proper focus and to allow
sufficient illumination.
4. To Take Still Photos
Taking still photos is easy. When the camera is
powered on and is in “standby mode” (indicated by
the steady yellow light), simply press-and-release
the “VIDEO/CAMERA” button. The yellow indicator
light will flash multiple times, which represents a
photo shot. A repeated press will result in another
photo taken.
5. Setting the Time Stamp
Note: There is no way to turn off the time-stamp
on the video that we are aware of. (The time stamp
may reset every time you plug the camera into your
computer, so make sure to check it when you are
preparing to launch.)
a.
Make sure the T/F memory card is inserted
into the keychain camera.
b.
Connect the 808 Keychain camera to your
computer using the USB cable.
c.
Open the TAG.txt file with a word processing
program. It is located in the root directory of the
memory card. This file is generated by the camera
on new T-flash cards, so you may need to take a
Insert the Micro SD card with the metal contacts
facing upward.
Press and hold the “ON/OFF” button for 3
seconds. The yellow indicator light will illuminate,
indicating that the camera is now powered on, and
is in standby mode.
