MICROSD CARD

Choose a brand-name microSD card (UHS-I U1 and faster) with maximum capacity of 32 GB. Before using it in the camera for the first time, it is necessary to format the memory card on a PC to FAT32 file system (formatting the memory card will erase all data on the card). Insert the memory card into the camera with the PINs facing towards the camera screen. Recommendation: regularly format the memory card on a PC to avoid video writing problems. If the camera is used on a daily basis, format the card at least once a month. More information about the use of the card and its formatting will be provided by the manufacturer of the card.

(included with the product), via a USB cable connected to a PC or via a charging adapter from a mobile phone. The camera can also be charged from a power bank.

USING THE CAMERA ON BATTERY POWER (WITHOUT POWER SUPPLY)

The camera has a backup battery, which is primarily intended for parking mode. The camera is designed for recording with a constant connection to power supply. When using the camera on battery power, the battery must be fully charged before use. Battery life without a connected power source is about 25 minutes with the screen and Wi-Fi turned off. If you wish to use the camera while disconnected from a power source, it must always only be turned on using button (7) after it has been disconnected from a power source.

2.  PC camera: can be used as a camera in programmes that allow the connection of an external camera (the microphone cannot be used).
3.  Charging: the camera will recharge.
   Attention: supported systems include Windows 8 and later and MacOS 11 and later.
