FAQ
Q1. What player software should I use to
playback the recording files?
Ans.
“Media
Player
Classic”
is
most
recommended, and can be downloaded
freely at
http://ftp.freenet.de/pub/filepilot/win
dows/multimedia/video/k -lite_codec_pack/klc
odec425f.exe
.
If you use Windows Media
Player” you may need to install mpeg -4
decoder. A lot more other mpeg -4 capable
player can playback the record files, such as
VLC, Storm Video Codec, …etc.
Q2. How long can date/time last without the
power supply?
Ans. RTC battery can last for 3 months without
power supply (including battery supply)
Q3. Can both SD card slot and microSD ca rd
slot work at the same time? Which is
the higher priority?
Ans. SD card is first priority. If there is no SD
card, recorder board will record onto
microSD card. So far, two SD card slot s
cannot work simultaneously
Q4. Since there is a microSD card slot , why
there is optional I/O board?
Ans. SD card is larger sized and larger capacity
available.
There is a flexible cable between
main board and I/O board, so the recorder
board can match mechanism design.
Q5. Why does the device not turn on
according to schedule?
Ans. The schedule will take place only when
device is turned on. If the device is on, it
will get into sleeping mode when out of
schedule and no operation for 30 seconds.
In sleeping mode, the device will auto -turn on
according to the schedule. If the device is
off, it won’t auto-turn on when schedule.
