Initial Setup
Inserting a New Memory Card
Before you are able to record any video using the device, you will have to install a
memory card to save the video on. The SC114 takes Micro SD cards with storage
space up to 32GB (not included).
Assuming that the camera lens is facing you, the memory card slot is located on the left
side of the unit. Insert any memory cards with the straight side up and the jagged side
down. Push it in until you hear a quiet click sound, indicating the memory card is locked
in. To remove the card in the future, press down on it until you hear another click and it
should spring out of the slot.
Formatting a New Memory Card
After the memory card is inserted into the device, you will still have to format the
memory card. You can format the memory card from the settings menu.
To get to the settings menu, press the Mode button. It should take you to a VIDEO
screen. Keep pressing it until you get to a screen with a red wrench and screwdriver at

press the ► to select YES. Press OK and the memory card will be formatted once the
spinning circles disappear.

data.

device can be seen on the bottom left of the main screen. If it is incorrect, you can go to
the settings menu to change it.

the top. Press the ► key until you have DATE highlighted. OK so select it and press ►

Once the date is set, you can move to the clock and use OK to select the hours, and
after you save that, you can set the minutes. The time is in 24 hour format (if you need
to enter a time that is PM, then add 12 to the hours and enter that number instead).
Once the clock is set correctly and saved, you can press MODE to go back to the main
screen.
Connecting to Your Computer
To view the videos and photographs you have taken on the device on a larger screen,
view the GPS data, make backups of the footage, charge the device, or empty space on
the memory card, you will have to connect the device to your computer using the
included cable.
The port used to connect to your computer is on the top of the device, on the left side,
and is labeled as USB above it. Turn the device off and take the included USB cable
and plug the larger end into your computer and the smaller end into your device. If you
have the suction cup attached, you will have to remove it first.
A menu will appear with the options of OPEN, CHARGE, and MSC. You can select the
option you want using the ► and ◄ buttons and use OK to confirm the selection. OPEN
will turn on the device as normal. CHARGE will keep the device off but recharge it. MSC
will put the device in USB mode and allow you to view the files on the memory card on
your computer.

You should copy all files and folders on the memory card somewhere into a folder
somewhere on your computer. This makes a backup of the files and will make loading
times much lower. If you want to free up some space on the memory card you can also
delete them from the memory card after you have copied them to your computer.
Installing Dependencies
To play the files, you must first have Google Earth installed on your computer, as well
as the included codecs. If you already have these installed, you may skip this section.
Google Earth is free to download and install, and you can find it at the following URL:
http://www.google.com/earth/index.html
When you go to the website, there should be a button saying Download Google Earth
The website may try and include Google Chrome with Google Earth, but this can be
disabled by simply unchecking the check boxes near the top of the page. To start the
download, click on Agree and Download.

instead, you will have to find where the file was saved and double click it.

it if you Saved it). It should automatically take care of the whole installation.

Earth should automatically open. You do not need to have it open so feel free to close
the window.
