confirm, choose "Yes" and press

to continue recording in the RedAlert2.

Accessing Images/Videos via a Computer

One of the most convenient aspects of recording to an SD card is that, if you have
an SD card reader for your computer, you can simply pop the SD card into it and
open the RedAlert2's images/videos directly.
To playback, copy and delete images using a computer:
1. Place the SD card into your computer via an internal or external card reader.
2. Open the SD card in your computer's file browser. You'll see a folder dedicated
to each day that the RedAlert2 was operating.
3. All recorded images and videos are stored as separate files numbered in
chronological order of when they were captured.
4. You can cut and paste the
any other file.
5. To delete files, drag them to the Trash/Recycle Bin (depending on your operating
system) or highlight them and press your computers Delete key. A popup box
will ask you to confirm.
6. Most current systems will have no problem opening the file types that the
RedAlert2 creates. If you encounter problems, update your video player or
image viewing software.
If you're having trouble playing back the videos created by the RedAlert2, consider
downloading VLC Media Player. There are versions of VLC available for Windows,
Mac OS and just about every other operating system you can imagine.
It is available free online, at
Note: It is not possible to directly connect the RedAlert2 to a computer. However,
with the ease of transfer of data via the SD card, there really isn't a reason to.
