I have a problem in the video is almost 40 seconds and then closes the device
If the light flashes many times on startup, the memory card is not fully seated.
Hello,
I’ve lost the WriteTime.exe widget !
TIME.txt doesn’t work….
where can i download WriteTime.exe
Thanks for your help
What is the standby time limit in motion detection mode? Mine goes to sleep and turns off when in motion detection mode after too much time passes (maybe 4 hours). I have tested it several times during the day and it seems to work fine, but after sitting overnight, the motion detection is not activated again unless I turn it back on and set it back in to motion detection mode? Is this normal?
It was not working when i was start the cam in vibrate more than 6 times and then it is turned Off.
Nad, Charles,
I think the problem is that the SD card is not fully seated or it is bad. Push the SD card in until it clicks into place and push again to eject it.
If this doesn’t work try another SD card.
My question is, how can I disable the date stamp?
When i start audio recording its took only 10 minute recording. after that it stops automaticaly.
I need the driver because my laptop does not regonize the usb stick and so it does not work. Where can i find the driver to install it ?
guys,
I have tried the method mentioned here (both methods) to change the date and time and however many times I change the date, it keeps coming back to the same date. For example I changed the date to show a random date in 2010. It was all good after I saved it. but when I recorded a video the TAG file goes back to the date in 2012 (with which it came) again. I also tried the method of creating the TIME.TXT file and it doesn’t seem to change the date and time stamp.
what should I do? Thanks!

When battery gets low, and shuts unit off, does it vibrate before shutting down? Kinda scares me when doing surveillance as it would make it obvious unit it close by triggering suspicion perhaps. Comments?
It seems that Micro SD Samsung EVO 32GB is not working on this device. It clicks in place but the light only blinks purple many times quickly when you try to turn it on. Then nothing else happens.
When you connect it to the computer, the light stays on red but the computer asks to put in a card in device if you try to access the drive.

I purchase this item from Amazon, and it does not automatically install the drivers, it is not even recognized .
I guess it does not work with HP laptop windows 10
taking pictures ok and audio fine but the recordings are just showing lots of red and blue lines – no picture at all. motion sensor does not seem to work either. – any ideas please – using windows 10.
