Viewing Recorded Files
To view your les, simply connect the device via the supplied USB cord with the Micro SD card properly inserted
into the device, making sure it is powered Off. It will connect as a removable drive, and depending on the settings
on your PC, it may automatically notify you that new hardware was detected. If so, select Open Folder to View
Files.
If it is not automatically detected, click Start on your desktop. Select My Computer if you are using Windows XP,
or Computer if using Windows Vista or Windows 7. The device should be listed as a Removable Disk under the
Devices With Removable Storage section. Open that drive, which will contain a folder called DCIM. Within that
folder is another folder labelled 100DSCIM. This folder contains your videos and photos. Move the les onto your
computer to view them. Because of the high quality of these video recordings, viewing them from the device may
result in them appearing “choppy”.
If your media player has any problems opening recorded videos you can download VLC Player for free at
http://www.videolan.org.
When disconnecting your device from a computer, always be sure to use the Safely Remove Hardware utility in
Windows.
