Product Usage Instructions
SD Card Issues
If there are any SD card issues, the status light will flash quickly at 0.5-second intervals for both red and green LEDs. Ensure that the SD card is properly inserted with the shield pushed a little bit up with one hand and the SD card pressed with another hand to let the card pop out.
Powering On/Off Standby Mode
To turn on the camera module, short press the power button. To turn it off, long press the power button for 2 seconds. The status light will show a red LED that is always on in standby mode.
Mode Switching
In standby mode, double-click the power button to switch between loop video and QR code parameter setting mode.
Video Mode
When in video mode, the status light will show a red LED that flashes slowly at a 1-second interval. Short press the power/shutter button to start/stop recording.
QR Code Setting
When in QR code setting, the status light will show a green LED that is always on. Use the RUNCAM APP to enter the RunCam Split HD entrance, set up, and generate a QR code. Scan the QR code with the camera in QR code mode, and it will automatically switch to standby mode after setting successfully. The status light will show a red LED.
HD Recording Firmware Update
To update the HD recording firmware, the status light will show red and green LEDs that flash at the same time.

Flight Controller UART Control
Preparation
- Firmware: BetaFlight Firmware (≥3.2.0),CleanFlight Firmware(≥2.1.0) , KISS Firmware (≥1.3-RC30) or INAV Firmware (≥1.7.3).
- Any available UART interface on the Flight Controller
-
Connect the RunCam Split HD with the UART interface of the Flight Controller
-
Make the Flight Controller recognize the RunCam Split HD
For example , we connect the RunCam Split HD to the UART 5 interface on the Flight Controller: connect the Flight Controller to the computer, then open the configurator software of the Flight Controller. (Open up the configurator that matches the firmware you are running, Betaflight Configurator for Betaflight, Cleanflight Configurator for Cleanflight). In the Peripherals column of the line UART 5 (on the Ports tab), select Camera (RunCam Protocol) and click Save And Reboot.

Instructions of the functions of the camera and assigning transmitter channels to them
In the Flight Controller Configurator, navigate to the Modes tab. There are new CAMERA WI-FI, CAMERA POWER and CAMERA CHANGE modes-
CAMERA POWER: start/stop the video. When in the OSD of the camera, this is used to move to the next menu item.
-
CAMERA CHANGE MODE: Switch between the recording mode and the QR code setting mode.
Assign any available channel to the function you need, for example: -
Assign the AUX2 to the CAMERA POWER, range 1900-2100
-
Assign the AUX3 to the CAMERA CHANGE MODE, range 1900-2100
-
-
Assign the channel to the switch of the controller
Please choose your Model on the controller, then access to the MIXER interface and assign the channel to the switch of the controller. Take opentx 2.2.0 for example, assign the channels CH5, CH6 and CH7 to SA, SB and SD respectively
-
Test
Power the Flight Controller and the RunCam Split HD- Set the SA to the bottom, the camera starts/stops the video
- Set the SD to the bottom, the camera switches among the two modes:
video and OSD setting mode
