SPYTEC AETOS 400

CLOCK CAM USER GUIDE

Thank you for choosing the SpyTec Aetos 400 Clock Cam. The miniature boombox

with clock, radio and 4.3-inch color video display hides a high-def camera and

microphone for clandestine video recording. The camera even works in the dark

using a night vision infrared light. You can play captured video files on the 400's

own display or transfer them from the microSD card (not included) to your computer.

Video recording can be triggered automatically by motion. The Clock Cam can be

deployed on a tabletop or carried with you. You can use it for portable entertainment

by copying videos, music and photos from your computer and playing them through

the 400's screen and robust speakers or by plugging in your own headphones. The

unit is powered by a pair of rechargeable, removable batteries or an AC adapter,

which are both included.
