How to charge the battery

SPYCENTRE-1519-Zetta-Max-Swivel-Securittg-FIG-1

Connect the recorder to a PC or USB power supply with the provided USB to USB cable
It takes 6-8 hours to fully charge
Orange light = Charging but not recording
Green light = Fully Charged but not recording
A blinking orange light = Charging and recording
A blinking green light = Charging complete and recording
Red light = No card, card fail or cards memory full

Note: Ensure the unit is fully charged and insert an SD card up to 256GB. If you are using a 64GB card or larger, you must format the card through the “Zetta Widget” for it to record video files. For charging, all LEDs will turn off while plugged into a wall adapter, meaning it is fully charged. If charging on a computer, the LED will go green once fully charged.

How to turn on the camera

Hold the power button on the right side of the unit for 3-5 sec. The indicator light will then turn a solid green color. Once the indicator light is flashing green, you are on and recording.

How to turn off the camera: Hold the power button on the right side of the unit for 3-5 sec. The indicator light will then turn a solid orange color. Once the orange color is gone, the unit is powered off.

How to format 64-256GB Micro SD cards

Go to the Zetta Widget
Plug the device with the SD card into your computer
Click “Format” on the left-hand side
A pop-up will ask if you want to format this memory card. Be sure it shows the correct one, and complete the format

How to format the device on a Mac

Open up the “Disk Utility” application on your computer
Locate the SD card under “External devices”
Once the SD card is selected, click “Erase”
This will prompt a screen to rename. Choose “Format” and erase the device
Ensure the device is in “MS-DOS (FAT)” before erasing

Set slider switch modes: Slide the switch to (from left to right) “Continuous Record Mode,” “Motion Record Mode,” or “Custom Recording” before powering the unit on.

Continuous recording mode: This setting will keep the unit on and continuously recording. This setting also lowers the resolution to 1280×720 and sets the camera into a daytime mode, so it will not do well in low- lighting scenes or no light and will record in 30-minute intervals.

Motion recording mode: This setting will set the unit to record only when it detects motion, extending the battery life based on how much activity happens in front of the unit. This setting will record at a resolution of 1280×720 and sets the camera into a daytime mode, so it will not do well in low-lighting scenes or no light and will record in 15-minute intervals.

Custom recording mode: These settings will allow such things as “Motion Detecting,” “Voice-Activated Recording,” “Vibration Activated Recordings,” and “Scheduled Recordings.”

How to playback files on an Android smartphone or tablet (No Apple Products)

An OTG cable is required for this process. For all other steps, refer to the OTG cable guide at https://spycentre.com/products/dual-android-otg-cable, scroll to the bottom of the page and click on user guides
Go to your “Device Storage,” and look for external memory. Inside will be all the files you can click on to review what was captured
For all other steps, refer to the OTG cable guide on spycentre.com
