Operating the System
BASICS
We strongly recommend doing a test recording BEFORE you perform your first inspection in the field.
FILES — In this manual, the term “Files” refers to your recordings, whether
video (.mp4) or snapshots (.jpg)
File Naming: By default, recording files are named with the date (YYYYMMDD)
and a numbering sequence (-XX)
ex: 20180205-02.mp4 This would be the third video recorded on Feb. 5, 2018
the first file will be “20180205-00.mp4” the second “20180205-01.mp4”, etc.
You can also customize the names of files in the Overlay menu, see next column.
