Overview & Basic Setup
Figure 1
Indicators
There are 3 indicators which signify different things. From left to right you have the “Internet
Connection” indicator which will light up when the clock is connected to the Internet.
The middle indicator is to signify when the clock is using its own Wifi connection. This will be when
you have connected a phone, tablet or PC directly to it without going through the Internet.
The final indicator shows when the clock is plugged in to charge; this will light up when the clock is
connected to a PC or mains USB adapter.
Set Time
To set the time press the “Set” button and then the “Plus” button until you have the correct time
showing. Press “Set” once for hour, a second time for minutes and a third to finish.
Micro SD Card Slot
For the clock to record any footage you must insert a Micro SD card in to the slot in the back; you
can use any Micro SD card between 4GB and 32GB. If you need a Micro SD card then take a look
here: www.wecostless.co.uk > electronics > memory cards
Battery and Charging
Supplied with the clock is a USB cable which enables you to charge the internal battery. This can be
done via a computer or a USB mains charger.
The internal battery will last up to 4 hours when not plugged in to a power source.

Connecting to the Camera
To get the clock recording you will need to connect to it via your phone or tablet. To do this you will
need to enable the clock’s WiFi.
To activate the WiFi press the WiFi button; after the indicator has done the following sequence wait
5 minutes prior to connecting to the WiFi:
Red > Blue > Red & Blue Flashing (indicator will carry on flashing)
You will also need to download an App called P2PLiveCam; it is free and available on both the Apple
Store and Google Play. Figure 2 shows what you are looking for.
Figure 2
Direct Connect
First off you must connect your phone or tablet to the clock’s Wifi. The Clock should be named
“CM*****”. Each camera should replace the * with a random selection of letters/numbers. Figure 3
shows an example of how the camera might appear in your WiFi list.
Figure 3
The Wifi should be an open network so you will not need to use a password for this section.

Video Quality and Recordings
After updating the time on the clock you can return the main menu and change the video settings,
video settings can be changed in the SDCard Record Config.Within the video settings, Figure 20, you
are able to change a number of settings including when to record and what resolution you want.
Figure 20
Figure 21 Figure 22
Figures 21/22 show you the options for when to record (Figure 21) and what resolution (Figure 22).
When to record?
Close: Do not record
On alarm: Only records when motion is detected
All day: Constant recording
What resolution?
1280 x 720: High quality but takes up more space
640 x 480: DVD quality, not great but only uses a moderate amount of space
320 x 240: Low quality but can record more minutes per GB

The most commonly used combination is On alarm and 1280 x 720, this will get good quality video
and only record when needed.
You also get the option to change the length of each video clip, whether to record sound or not and
if you would like the loop recording feature enabled.
By default each clip will be 3 minutes long, this means that should the battery drain whilst in use you
will not lose any footage. If you set the recording length to, for example, 30 minutes and the battery
drains after recording 17 minutes worth then the whole recording will be wiped. It is best to leave
the recording time at the default 3 minutes; if there is still motion then a new file will start recording
as soon as the current one has finished.
Having sound on the video is not always needed; if you do not want sound then the video files will
be slightly smaller in size so you can record more video.
Loop recording, should you not already know, is where a camera can overwrite the earliest files
when the memory is full. Loop recording is useful as you don’t ever need to delete the old recorded
files as they are automatically deleted to make space for new ones. The only time you need to look
at the files is when something has happened, in this case you would copy the files over to your PC
for safe keeping.
Alarm (motion detection)
The On alarm function has already been mentioned in the video settings, it is often known as motion
detection.
In the main settings menu select Alarm Config, you will now have a number of options (Figure 23) to
select from to get the best out of the clock.
Figure 23

Your first option is whether you want motion detection enabled or not, it has different sensitivity
levels as shown in Figure 24. If you want the clock to record at the slightest movement select level
1; if you want to it only activate when there is some obvious big movement then select level 7. Most
users select level 4 as that is the mid-way point giving you a sensitivity that is just right for human
activation.
Figure 24
Another option you have is a warning tone, this will notify you of any movement if you have the app
open or running in the background on your phone or tablet.
The alarm interval is for the warning tone and a feature that should be set up if you are using it; it
can be set between 30 and 300 seconds. If you do not want to be plagued with notifications then
you want to set this to a minimum of 180 seconds; this matches the default recording time of 3
minutes.
After you have set up the alarm and the notification interval you are ready to go, press OK and you
will exit this area.

Live View
When in the My Cameras area just select the camera and you will be able to view the camera stream
live as shown in Figure 25.
Figure 25
If you tap the live stream you will get some options appear. The top 3 controls (Figure 26) effect the
playback of the video, first off is the picture quality.
Figure 26 Figure 27
You have 4 options for the video quality: HD, High, Normal and Low Bandwidth. By default it will be
Low Bandwidth but you can change it to any you want, obviously HD is the best streaming quality.
HD should only be used when you have your phone or tablet on a WiFi network as streaming in HD
can eat through your data plan very fast. If running through a mobile network only use Low
Bandwidth.
The next two options are brightness and contrast. Brightness will make the image lighter and darker
whereas the contrast will make image richer or more washed out in colour.

Figure 28
The options at the bottom of the window, in order of appearance, are as follows:
Hear sound from the clock *
Send sound (not supported by this camera)
Screenshot *
Manually record video *
Move image horizontally (only works on certain streams)
Move image vertically (only works on certain streams)
Flip image horizontally
Flip image vertically
Only 3 of these options are commonly used all of which are marked with *. Sometimes you want to
stream sound from the clock, this will use more data. Taking a screenshot of something can be
useful for evidence as can a video. If you have set the clock up to record on motion detection then
you will not likely used these two options.
Viewing Files
To view the files back take the memory card out of the clock, put it in the USB card reader provided,
plug it in to your computer and then view the video files as if you had just put in a USB stick to your
computer.
