Video Recording and Photography

The device is equipped with a function for video recording (and photographing) an observed image that is saved onto the built-in memory card.

It is recommended to set the date and time (see the General Settings section) before using the photo and video functions.

The built-in recorder operates in two modes:

• Photo (photography; in the top right corner of the display you can see an icon ). If the estimated number of photos that can be saved to the Flash card is more than 100, the message “>100” is shown.
• Video (video recording; an icon is displayed in the upper left of the display, the total remaining recording time given the current resolution in HH:MM:SS format (hours : minutes : seconds).

To toggle between Video and Photo modes press and hold down the RIGHT (6) button. Switching between the modes toggles Video–> Photo–> Video...

Notes:

• You can enter and navigate the menu during video recording.
• Recorded videos and photographs are saved to the device’s built-in memory card in the format: img_xxx.jpg (for photos); video_xxx.mp4 (for video). xxx - three-digit common file counter (for photos and video).
• The counter used for the names of multimedia files cannot be reset.
• If a file is deleted from the middle of the list, its number is not taken by another file.
• When the counter is full, a new folder is created – img_xxxx, where xxxx is the file counter.
• The maximum duration of a recorded video file is 5 minutes. After this time expires, a video is recorded onto a new file. The number of files is limited by the capacity of the device’s built-in memory.
• Regularly check the free memory on the internal memory card, moving footage and photographs to other storage media to free up space.
• Graphic information (status bar, icons etc.) is displayed in recorded video files and photos.
