Quick Start:
Always operate your CAMSPORTS in a safe place and in safe conditions for you and for
others
Choose the appropriate mount and ensure it is fitted securely and tightly so that it can not
come loose while shooting your videos.
Insert and rotate your CAMSPORTS into the mounting so that the buttons and LED are facing
straight upwards to ensure that your video will be perfectly aligned.
To switch on and start recording, press the POWER/RECORD button (2) for 1 second. The
LED indicator will flash blue when recording starts.
To stop recording, press the POWER/RECORD button for 2 seconds to stop and save the
video file into the flash memory and switch off the camera.
If the battery power or available flash memory are running low, the camera will
automatically stop recording, save the file and switch off.
If the CAMSPORTS locks up and the LED light freezes, press the reset button (6) once and
restart.
Other tips for successful filming:
Before leaving home, check that your SD card is correctly inserted into the camera : the
recording maybe faulty or the SD damaged if not correctly installed into the SD card slot.
Check that you have enough free space on the card for recording
Check that the battery is fully charged (take additional external power packs if needed)
Prior to a long ride, test and validate your camera in different recording positions so that
you don’t lose great footage because of poor positioning.
Always check that the rubber seals on the rear cover are positioned correctly to ensure your
CAMSPORTS camera remains waterproof.
Never remove the SD card from the camera when the camera is recording or playing back,
otherwise you may damage the card
Recharging the battery from your computer:
If the camera fails to start recording, the battery has probably run down and needs to be recharged.
Recharge the battery as follows:
Open the rear cover to access the mini-USB connector
Connect the USB cable supplied to the mini-USB port of your camera
Connect the cable USB connector to your computer. In most cases, your computer must be
switched on for the battery to recharge.
The camera will take a maximum of 3 hours to fully recharge using a computer USB port. When
recharging, the LED record indicator will be red (7). At full charge, the LED will turn off. If the device
has not been used for a long time, it is better to recharge battery before use.
Video storage:
Your computer will detect the CAMSPORTS camera as a standard removable disk. When the memory is
full, the video camera will stop recording and save data automatically.
To play back the video files from your CAMSPORTS camera:
Switch on your computer and log on to your session
Unscrew the rear cover and plug the mini-USB cable into the recorder and connect it to a
USB 2.0 port on the computer. It might take a few minutes for your CAMSPORTS camera to
be detected the first time.
The computer will detect the newly added device as a new disk and display a window with a
folder named “DCIM” containing the video files you recorded.
Save the files to your hard disk and delete them from the recorder.
When done, close the disk window, pull out the USB cable and switch off the recorder.
As with a normal USB key, you can ‘format’ your CAMSPORTS to reset the SD card of the camera.
Make sure you format the SD/TF card of your CAMSPORTS regularly so that it continues to provide the
best recording and playback quality, or if you notice problems with playback or recording.
Set the file date-time:
The internal clock of your CAMSPORTS may be set to a different time from your current time zone. If
so, the time/date information in your video files will be wrong. You can adjust the time/date to your
current location as follows:
Connect the device with PC and power on.
Open the new disk window.
Set up a new document in TEXT format.
Rename the new Text document as “settime”
Open the new Text document. Input the local true time according to the following format.
For example, if the current time and date in Paris is : 19:10 :00, September 5th, 2010
So we input like this : 2010 09 05 19 10 00
Space are needed between each number. Check to reset the time according to the format
above otherwise, the resetting will fail.
