Recording Indicator –
When the camera is recording, you will see a white circle on the bottom
left, with a rotating red section. This indicates that the camera is currently recording. If the
camera is not recording, then this icon will not appear.
Record Type Icon –
This is an icon which can show you what type of recording the unit is set
to. If you see a finger pointing down, then the unit is currently recording using the ‘Manual
Record’ button. If you see a figure of a man, then the unit is currently in its Motion Detection
schedule. If you see an image of a clock, then the unit is currently running a Continuous
recording schedule. If none of those icons appear, then the system is not currently in any of its
schedules and not currently recording.
Resolution and Quality –
This indicator will show you the resolution and quality that the unit is
set to record in. The resolution displayed will be either 640x480 or 320x240. Higher resolution
indicates better picture quality. No matter what the recording resolution is, the camera always
displays live video at 640x480 resolution. To the immediate right of the resolution is the quality
indicator, which indicates the quality of the video is LQ (Low) MQ (Medium) or HQ (High)
quality.
Recording Mode –
The last icon that appears at the bottom is the recording mode icon. A small
rectangular icon indicates that the unit has memory built-in (This icon normally will not disappear
from the screen). To the right you will see either a series of arrows in a circle, or a percentage.
When you see the series of arrows in a circle, then the unit is in ‘overwrite’ mode. When you see
a percentage, the unit is in ‘Full Stop’ mode. The percentage displayed will slowly count down
the amount of free space until it reaches 0%. Once the unit is at 0% it will stop recording, and
cannot be started again until the recordings are deleted.
Camera Menu –
The EZ-EYE camera menu is used to configure the recording features
and control the capabilities of the camera. To access the menu, simply press the ‘Menu’ button
on the back of the unit. You can navigate the menu by using the Up (Record) and down (Play)
buttons on the back of the unit, and use the + (Fast Forward) button to enter an option. Pressing
the Menu button will exit the menu or (If you are in one of the sub-menus) return to the previous
menu. While you are in the camera menu, the red light above the ‘Menu’ button on the back of
the unit will stay lit up.
SEARCH AND PLAY –
This option is used to play back previously recorded clips. For
information on this menu option, see the ‘Playback’ section below.
SET DATE/TIME –
This option is used to configure the date and time. It consists of three
options : Date format will affect how the camera shows the date. Year/Month/Day is default, but
Month/Day/Year and Day/Month/Year is also available. Set Date and Set Time are options
which allow you to set the current date and time, which is displayed on live video and on
recorded images.
