thefollowing:

• See the live view of the camera for positioning to

ensure you are recording the desired recording

area.

• Start or stop the COUNTcam2 video recording.

 

• Check the battery level of the COUNTcam2.

• Review recorded video stored on the COUNTcam2.

 

• Format the internal storage on the COUNTcam2.

app, 

 

you 

 

will 

 

be 

 

able 

 

to 

startrecording 

 

video. 

 

To 

 

initiate 

 

recording, 

 

tap 

theorange 

 

circular 

 

recording 

 

button 

 

in 

 

the 

center-bottom of the app (in portrait mode) or the 

center-

of 

 

the 

 

app 

 

(figure 

 

1, 

 

3). 

 

You 

 

will 

 

know 

 

the

COUNTcam2 is recording when the red recording

indicator starts blinking in the app (figure 1,1) and

the blue LED on the front of COUNTcam2 is also

blinking.

App Functionality

The COUNTCAM app has several icons on the sides

 

of 

 

the 

 

screen 

 

that 

 

serve 

 

different 

 

functions. 

 

This

 

section will explain those icons in more detail.

1. Recording Indicator.

 

When the red icon is

blinking, that means the COUNTcam2 is

 

recording video. The blue LED on the front of

 

the COUNTcam2 should also be blinking to

 

indicate the camera is recording.

Figure 1

Tip: 

The COUNTcam2 wireless network will 

appear as ‘COUNTCAM_XXXXXXXXXXXX’ This 

is the Device ID of your COUNTcam2 and is 

located on the label under the mounting bracket. 

2. Battery Meter.

 

This icon displays the current

charge level of the COUNTcam2's internal

 

battery. If you are using a booster pack, this

 

indicator

 

does not

 

represent the booster pack's

 

state of charge, it is for the camera only.

 

Note:

the battery meter in the COUNTCAM app is

 

displayed very close to the battery meter of

the mobile device running the app. When

 

checking the battery level of your COUNTcam2,

 

make sure you are looking at the COUNTcam2

 

battery meter and not the mobile device's

 

battery meter.
