DOWNLOADING THE PHOTOS/vIDEOS
To download your photos/videos to a PC or Mac*, first make sure the
Surveillance Cam power switch is in the OFF position. Connect the
supplied cable to the camera's USB port, then directly to a main USB port
on your computer-do not use front panel/keyboard USB ports or unpowered
"hubs".
The Surveillance Cam will be recognized as a standard "USB Mass
Storage" device (this may take several seconds the first time you connect it).
If you would rather leave your camera in the woods and just pull its SD card
out, an SD card reader works the same way as described in this section once
the card is inserted and the reader is connected to your computer.
With Windows XP or later, you can then simply use the
options in the pop-up window to copy, view, or print
your photos (right).
On all Windows OS, the Surveillance Cam will also
be listed as a "Removable Disk" (or "EK116", etc) if
you open the "My Computer" window (on Macs, an
icon will appear on your desktop). The Surveillance
Cam's photo files are named "EK00000.JPG" etc, and are located in the
"DCIM\100EK113" folder on this "Removable Disk". Video file names will
end with ".avi". You may copy the photos/videos to your hard drive as you
would any file-just copy/paste or drag the file names or icons to your drive
or desktop.
After the photos are copied to your hard drive, you can disconnect the
Surveillance Cam. (On Mac computers, drag the "disk" that appeared on
your desktop when the camera was connected into your Trash to "eject" it
before disconnecting.) The .jpg standard files from the Surveillance Cam
may be viewed and edited with any photo software you choose to use. The
.avi video files may be viewed with Windows Media Player (version 7 or later)
as well as other video playback programs that may have been supplied with
your computer, or are available online.
* ".AVI" video files may require additional software for viewing on a Mac.
