Simply connect the flexible neck to the
base, plug in the USB cable to the rear
of the camera and you’re ready to go.
You can connect the camera base to the
computer by the USB cable, or unplug
the camera from its base and connect
it directly to a USB port by its flexible
neck – great for laptops!
The base is simply an easy way to have
the camera stand upright on its own on
a desktop or other flat surface.
Once plugged into your computer the
base light will be visible on the base
unit, this confirms that the camera is
receiving power from your computer.
This camera should be recognised by
your operating system without the need
for installing any extra software.
TIP: to turn on the lights just tap the
back of the camera head gently. To
turn the lights o, tap the head again.

IMAGE CAPTURE
Use this mode to capture still images.
There are three dierent capture
methods you can choose from:
On Keypress: Choose when you want
to take each picture by pressing a
designated key on your keyboard.
On Timer: Set a timer to take pictures
automatically. The Interval is the gap
between each picture, while the Duration
is the period over which you want to
take pictures. For example, if you wanted
to show a flower opening up in the
sunlight, you could set the timer to take
a picture at an Interval of every minute
for a Duration of 12 hours. Or if you want
to record the activity in your classroom,
you could set the camera to record an
image every 30 seconds (Interval) for an
hour (Duration).
On Movement: This mode captures an
image each time the camera detects
movement - a bit like a security camera.
Select your capture method and
click the Capture button to start.
You can stop recording at any time
by pressing the same button again
(its icon will change to a square once
capture has begun)
Note: Advanced users can configure the
software to upload the captured images
to an FTP server automatically if it’s
necessary to monitor the camera online.
