Making it do things with a computer
To access and playback the videos and pictures you grab with the
SportsCam
, you’ll need to connect it to a computer.
Connecting the
SportsCam
to a computer is easy. All you’ll need is
a computer with USB ports and a relatively recent operating system,
and either the USB cable or USB adapter which came with the
SportsCam
.
To connect the SportsCam to a
computer:
Insert the micro-USB plug on
•
the USB adapter or USB cable
into the USB socket on the
base of the
SportsCam
.
Connect one end of the USB
•
adapter or cable to the USB
port on the computer.
To access the files on the
SportsCam
, have the power switch set to
ON, and the VOX switch set to OFF. This will make the
SportsCam
behave like it’s a USB flash drive, and you’ll be able to access the data
on it in the same way as a regular USB drive.
PC Camera Mode
You’ll need to install the device drivers from the mini CD (see page
•
15 for a little more about how to do this)
before
connecting the
SportsCam
in PC Camera mode.
When you connect the
•
SportsCam
to the computer, set the VOX
switch to ON and the power switch to OFF.
Once the camera is connected (the computer won’t detect it
•
while it’s off) turn the power ON.
The
•
SportsCam
will now act as a generic PC webcam.
Note:
The
SportsCam
’s PC camera function is only compatible with
Microsoft Windows XP
,
Microsoft Windows Vista
and
Microsoft
Windows 7
. If you’re running another operating system, you might
need to find another webcam (sorry).
