Moticam BTW8 Introduction
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the D-Moticam BTW8 Tablet/Camera system.
The BTW provides an effective method of attaching a camera system to any

from the microscope can be viewed on the provided tablet or via WiFi to any
WiFi enabled device.
The camera portion of the BTW houses a 5MP CMOS live view sensor, a
USB output as well as a WiFi transmission antenna. The user may switch
between either the USB output which can be connected to the Android
tablet provided; or the user can switch the camera to WiFi transmission
mode which allows any WiFi enabled device to view, measure and annotate
the microscope image through the available MotiConnect application. The

of the camera part taking care not to drop the tablet. Ensure that the tablet is securely held on
its diagonal corners so that there is no movement of the tablet within the clamp.

that it is switched to a trinocular position so that there is light passing to the camera on the
trinocular tube.
