It’s a nice little camera seemingly perfect to attach to your clothes while biking or whatever you want to record (though not waterproof). But the instructions are not in English!

Here’s some things I’ve found while trying to decipher the broken translation:

Getting Files / Using Webcam

Attaching the camera via the USB cable to your PC while the camera is OFF will let you manage the contents of the MicroSD card. Turning the camera ON will let you use it as a webcam. Transfer seemed to be quite slow over the USB cable reaching a maximum of 5.8MB/s.

Setting the Time

To set the time you need to create a file called TIMEREST.txt in the root of the drive with the new time then unplug from the PC and turn the camera on. The file must have the contents of the timestamp it should use like this:

20171118100800 Y

This is the year, month, day, hour, minute, second, SPACE, Y to show the timestamp or N to hide it. After doing this, Windows will tell you the drive needs to be repaired. This is fine and you can let Windows sort it out. It seems to be caused by the camera failing to delete the TIMEREST.txt file.

Recording Audio & Video at 720p

Hold the power button for two seconds and release. The solid-blue internal light will be visible from the hole where the SD card is. Press and release the power button once and that blue light will flash 3 times then go off. The device is now recording 5 minute long movies onto the card at 30fps in 1280×720 resolution with 512kbps audio at 32kHz.

Recording Audio & Video at 1080p

Hold the power button for two seconds and release. The solid-blue internal light will be visible from the hole where the SD card is. Press and release the mode button once. The blue and red lights will now be visible from the SD card slot. Press and release the power button once more to activate recording, the lights will flash three times then go off. The device is now recording 5 minute long movies onto the card at 30fps in 1920×1080 resolution with 512kbps audio at 32kHz.

Enable/Disable Night Vision

Hold the power button for two seconds and release. The solid-blue internal light will be visible from the whole where the SD card is. Now hold the power button down for two seconds and the red light will flash twice to indicate the infra red lamp is now switched on. Hold the power button down again for two seconds to turn off the lamp, the red light will flash twice to indicate success.

After turning the infra red lamp on for night vision you can then proceed to begin recording as explained above (either press the power button once to record 720p or press mode then power for 1080p).

Stop a Recording & Turn Off Camera

Press and release the power button once while recording. The lights will come on solidly. This means it’s stopped and you can then turn off the device by holding the power button down for 9 seconds.
