PLAYING BACK/DELETING THE PHOTOS/
vIDEOS
After you have setup, mounted and activated your Surveillance Cam, you
will of course be eager to return later and review the images it has captured
for you. There are several different ways this can be done.
Reviewing Images Directly From the SD Card
This is the most popular method of viewing images. Since unmounting the
camera and taking it to your computer isn't very convenient, you may find it
easier to just take the card out. By removing the SD card (swapping it for a
new empty card if you like) and taking it to your home or campsite to view
the images by using an SD card "reader" (user supplied) connected to your
computer (some computers and TVs have a built in SD card slot), you can
leave the camera in place ready to capture more images. Once connected,
the card reader works the same way as described below-please read that
section if you have any problem finding your files.
Reviewing Images by Connecting the Camera to a Computer
You can always unmount the entire camera from the tree and connect its
USB port to a computer-it will be recognized as a "removable disk", without
the need to install any drivers or software. When using a PC (or Mac*) to
view photos (or video clips*), first connect your camera's USB port (see
Fig. 2, pg. 6) to a PC or Mac computer with a USB cable (not included,
available at most electronics/computer retailers) that has a "Mini-B" USB
plug on one end (camera) and a "Standard-A" USB plug at the other end
(computer). Then use commercial software with an image browser feature,
or an image browser included with the PC's operating system to view images
saved on the SD card in the folder \DCIM\100EK113. Each new image or
video will be numbered incrementally in order of the time it was captured. For
example, you will see file names such as "EK00001.JPG" or "EK000001.
AVI". Through the file format suffix you can distinguish whether the file is a still
photo (with suffix .JPG) or a video (with suffix .AVI).
*".avi" video files may require additional software for viewing on a Mac.
The Surveillance Cam supports 3 kinds of file system formats, FAT12,
FAT16, and FAT32. The default value is FAT32 to save photos and videos.
