Compensation for recorded content
ACME will not be responsible in any case for any consequential or direct problems that will
lead to a loss of recorded or edited data. Furthermore ACME will not guarantee the content in
case the recording or saving is not working properly. The above limitations are as well valid in
case the unit has been repaired.
Do not remove the micro SD Card while recording or saving. Do not switch off or take out the
battery before the recording has been stopped or as long there is access to the memory,
indicated by a rotating circle.
Protect the unit from extreme temperatures. Stop recording at temperatures less than minus
10°C and higher than 60°C. Remove the camera from the windshield/sucking pad in case
extreme temperatures might be possible!
It is known that forged accumulators which remarkably look like the original product are
offered for the sale again and again. Some of these accumulators are not equipped with a
proper protection circuit which would satisfy the regulations of the prevailing safety
regulations. These accumulators can perhaps lead to fires or explosions. We assume no
liability for accidents, damages or failures which result from the use of a forged accumulator.
Battery charging
The inside battery is not fully charged when being purchased.
Please charge the battery before you are going to use the camera
the first time!
Connect the Docking Station with your computer using the included
USB-cable and insert the camera to charge. The charging process
is indicated by the LED and is finished after about 2 hours.
Use the original USB-Cable or the optional available power adaptor
only to charge the camera.

Permanent recording inside a car
In case you want to use the FlycamOne HD as a CarCamOne HD please use the
CarCamOne cable (optional available, Art.: CCHD02) and the sucking pad (FCHD28)
Slide in a micro SD card with minimum 8GB of
space into the camera.
Fix the camera at the sucking pad and find a good
position at the windshield. Adjust the head into the
right direction. Plug the 12/24V adaptor into the
cigarette socket.
Make sure the wire never limits you action – also
in case of Danger!
Starting the engine will activate the adaptor to start
as well the camera. When stopping the engine, also
the camera will close the file and shut down.
The CarcamOne is recording 15 minutes videos. Once space at the card is needed, it will
automatically erase the oldest files. In between two files there will be a gap of 3 seconds –
equal to 0,3% of the whole recorded file.
The default setting of the CarCamOne-cable is to detect the turning of the
engine – if your car is fitted with an energy saving system that stops the
motor or generator, or if it is powered by en electric motor you need to
remove the red jumper inside the plug.
Play back at the computer
The videos can be displayed at the PC in an easy way.
We recommend using the VLC Player (freeware) www.vlc-player.org. The player contains
many possibilities to adjust the picture, including a 180° flip option as well as brightness
