Operating Guidelines These are just a couple of points to keep in mind whilst using the RemoteCam: • Do not point the RemoteCam towards exceedingly bright light sources such as the sun, high-powered headlights or stadium lights. The bright light may damage the image sensor, either leaving a permanent ‘shadow’ on your videos where the light source has damaged the sensor, or rendering the sensor completely inoperable. • Avoid adverse weather conditions. Excessive heat (direct or ambient) and

Operating the RemoteCam To Capture a Photograph: When you use the RemoteCam to take a photograph, you’ll be capturing a single image at the highest quality that the RemoteCam can deliver (1280 x 1024 pixels, the resolution of a mid-level LCD computer monitor). Taking a photo takes approximately two to three seconds as the RemoteCam processes the data. Each photo is approximately 350KB in size (about 0.35MB). This means that, if you have a 1GB microSD card in the RemoteCam, it would take slig

Setting the Date and Time You can setup the RemoteCam to print the date and time that a recording was taken directly onto the video, like a watermark. To enable this function, you’ll just need to set the time and date - the RemoteCam will keep track of it from there. To set the Date and Time: • Open Notepad. It’s usually located in the Accessories folder in the Start Menu ® (assuming you’re using Microsoft Windows ). If you don’t have Notepad, any plain text editor will work fine (but not

Shooting Guide Framing: The RemoteCam has a fixed lens (a vari-focal lens would, simply, not fit) – so the size of subjects in your shots depends only on how close to the subject you hold the camera. • Typically, about 3 feet (1m) is about right if filming a shot of someone’s face – this way, their face will occupy approximate half the vertical space in frame. • To get a whole person in frame (assuming they’re approximately six feet tall) then you’ll need to be about 10ft (3m) away from t

Connecting to your PC You can read the data on the microSD card in the RemoteCam by connecting the RemoteCam to your computer. To do this: • Locate the mini-USB plug on the side of the RemoteCam. • Find a spare USB port on your computer.… • For maximum speed, find a free USB 2.0 port on your computer, and avoid using USB extension cables or hubs. • Connect the spare USB port on your computer to the mini-USB port on the RemoteCam using the supplied USB 2.0 cable. • The RemoteCam will be

Using the RemoteCam as a WebCam You can use the RemoteCam as a webcam. To do so, you’ll need to grab the drivers from our website, and install them to your PC. Then, you just have to change the mode of the RemoteCam once it’s connected to your PC. • Go to http://www.swannsecurity.com/downloads/drivers/ • Open the folder called “RemoteCam”. • Download and run the file named “SPCA1528_V2220_MultiLan_090217”. • Follow the onscreen prompts. This program will install the drivers for the webcam

Troubleshooting Problem: I’ve recorded videos, but the microSD card seems to be blank. Solution: Chances are that this problem is caused by turning the RemoteCam off before the video files have been properly saved to the microSD card. Always use the Rec/Pause button to stop recordings and waiting until the LED has come back on before turning the RemoteCam off. Problem: The RemoteCam won’t turn on. Solution: The most likely culprit is the battery. Check out the instructions on page 5 regardin
