Record:
After connection is ready (no matter composite, component, or HDMI),you should see the pass
through video on the screen. You will see the blue indicator shows on. It means now is ready to

record.
To record video is very simple --- press the record button, then you will see the indicator turns to pink,
it means now recording.
There are several reasons for no actions when press record button, you may need check:
1, The input video source disconnected.
2, The USB flash (or SD card) is out of memory.
3, The format for USB flash (or SD card) is not suitable, e.g. exFAT. JS3101 support FAT, FAT32, and
NTFS.
4, The USB flash (or SD card) is not connected well.
5, The USB flash (or SD card) is not ready, normally, it will take 4~8 seconds after plug it on.
To stop recording, just press the button again, will see indicator flash few seconds then turns to blue,
means the record is stop, now you can take off your USB flash (or SD card).
Note: please do not take the memory off when the indicator is flashing. The recording will
automatically stop if the USB flash or SD card out of space.
After stop recording, connect the USB flash or SD card to computer will see the recorded files: for
1080P recording, file will be Encode_1080P_1, for 720 or 480p recording, file will be Encode_1.
Every record/stop operation will create a different recording file: Encode_1080P_1, Encode_1080P_2,
Encode_1080P_3… and so on.
The max size per file will be around 1.95GB (around 15 minutes for 1080p video), when you record a
video more than 1.95GB(15 minutes), JS3101 will partition it in more than 1 file, for example: if you
record a 45 minutes 1080p video by one click recording, you will see 3 files: Encode_1080P_1,
Encode_1080P_1_1, Encode_1080P_1_2…and so on
Sometimes you may find that some recorded video with problems, like: skip. It may caused by you
are using a USB flash on NTFS format, and you haven’t click “safety remove” the device when
disconnect from computer (especially for USB HDD, if not safety remove, may caused serious
problem). You can try to format it to FAT32 if that problem keeps happen.
Firmware and others:
1, Update firmware: you maybe need update firmware for this device for some reason. Copy the
firmware file in to USB disk or SD card, power off the device (unplug power jack), plug USB disk to
device, power on, the indicator will flash 7~8 seconds, and become blue, it means the update is
finished.
2, After long time using, you will see the number of recording file become too big, for example
Encode_1080P_234, but you want it be start from Encode_1080P_0, to do it you just keep press
record button (before power on), then plug the power jack to power on the device, after 10 seconds,

the file number will start from 0.
3, Change the date: you may find out that the date of the recorded file is not synchronous with your
local time. To change the time of JS3101, you need create a TXT file name “rtc_setup” type your local
date and time with following format (for 2014 July 31 11:00:00):
/:2014
/:7
/:31
/:11
/:00
/:00
/:0
Should be exactly same format as it (first line be year, second line be month..etc, end with /:0 , each
line with start “/:”), and save it.
Then copy the rtc_setup file to a SD card or USB flash, connect to JS3101 then power on, then the
time is set ready.
