Hi-Def Keychain Camera
User's Guide

In the Box

The box contains the Hi-Def Keychain Camera, a micro USB to USB/RCA video cord, a USB AC power adapter,
a manual, and a CD. This CD contains sample files for changing video time/date stamp and resolution, as well as
a driver that will allow you to use the device as a webcam.
This device does not have internal memory and relies on a micro SD card for recording. The micro SD
card should be inserted with the gold contacts facing up in the direction of the control button. Before
inserting a micro SD card, make sure the card is formatted correctly. The device can record in the FAT
16/32 format. If you aren't sure how to format an SD card, you can find instructions here: http://www.
ehow. com/how_2112408_format-memory-card.html. The Hi-Def Keychain Camera is compatible with
micro SD cards up to 32GB capacity. If you plan on viewing your files on your computer, we suggest
using VLC Player. The most recent version can be downloaded at no cost from http://www.videolan.org.
Recording Video From the standby mode, hold down the Photo/Video button for 3 seconds. The LED will
blink red 3 times and then go out to indicate it is recording video. To stop recording, press the Photo/Video
button again and the device will return to Standby mode.

Taking Photos

From Standby mode, press the Photo/Video button. The LEDwill blink once to confirm the photo is saved.

Viewing Your Files

To view your files on a computer, simply connect the device via the supplied USB cord with the Micro SD card
inserted into the device, making sure the device is powered Off. It will connect as a removable drive, and de-
pending on the settings on your PC, it may automatically notify you that new hardware was detected. If
so, select Open Folder to View Files. If it is not automatically detected, click Start on your desktop.
Select My Computer if you are using Windows XP, or Computer if using Windows Vista or Windows 7. The de-
vice should be listed as a Removable Disk under the Devices With Removable Storage section. Open that drive,
which will contain a folder called DCIM. Within the DCIM folder will be another folder
named 100VIDEO. This folder will contain all your recorded files.

Changing Time/Date Stamp and Video Resolution

The Hi-Def Keychain Camera has an adjustable timestamp and 3 video resolution settings. To update a time/
date stamp, create a .txt file named TIME, with information in the following format:
YYYY.MM.DD HH:MM:SS Y(or N)R (year.month.day hour. minute.second Y=on N=off R=Resolution) Y
stands for yes, meaning the timestamp will be visible on recorded videos, N stands for no, meaning the tim
stamp will not be visible. 1, 2, or 3 should be entered directly after that to choose a resolution.
1=640 x 480
2= 720 x 480
3= 1280 x 720
