6 Configuration
HyperviewCam works in two main modes: 1) driving mode and 2) parking mode.
After switching on, the camera is always in the driving mode.
1) In driving mode:
1.1) when default setting or "normal save: 1;" runs the "Permanent recording" (permanent, the camera permanently takes 1-minute videos)
1.2) when "normal save: 0;" is "Permanent Recording" disabled (camera takes videos only when button pressed or g-sensor activates recording)
1.3) user can press button and so start manual recording (-30 till +15 seconds from pressing the button) and take one 45 seconds long video
1.4), G-sensor can activate 1 video recording (camera takes 1 Video -30 till +15 sec. from vibration)
By long pressing the key 3, the user can enable the "parking mode". (for this mode is permanent power supply required)
2) In the Park Mode:
2.1) motion detection starts one video recording (-30 till +15 sec.)
2.2) user can manually start recording -30 till +15 sec. video
2.3) G-sensor can activate recording of one -30 till +15 sec. video due to vibration

Example for the setting of:
Volume, G-sensor sensitivity, date and time and
the broader video on the video output jack.
In a text editor program write following commands and parameters. (see example)
(Filecoding: ANSI, Filename: tnn_config.txt, Directory: root of microSD-Card)
Save the commands in a txt file named: "tnn_config.txt" into the root directory on the microSD memory card.
Insert the memory card into the camera and turn on the camera.
Each time, when camera power on, it looks after "tnn_config.txt" file in the root directory of the memory card.
If tnn_config.txt file present, camera executes existing commands and then deletes tnn_config.txt" file.
Please note:
Do not forget at the end of each line to put the character "; "!
Misspelled commands are ignored by the camera.
The file "tnn_config.txt" is not deleted until all configuration commands have been executed.
It is not necessary to apply all existing commands each time. Use only those commands that you need.
"RTC" - command configures the date and time and is subject of automatical change. For example, when the camera's internal battery is
empty, the camera loses the set date and time. At next start of the camera, the camera automatically configures the date and time on the basis
of the last recorded videos in the memory card so the order of the videos, remain maintained based on the date and time.
Alternatively, you can use HyperviewcCam setting program, which creates "tnn_config.txt" file and saves it under C:.
(Install from attached MiniCD or download it from http: www.hyperviewcam.de)
7 Configuration of the Camera –manually

Configuration program produces tnn_config.txt file and places it on the "C:" partition.
Not necessary commands you can delete in an editor.
Then copy the tnn_config. txt file on the microSD memory card, insert the memory card into the camera and start the camera.
After the start, camera looks every time in the root directory of the memory card, if the file is tnn_condfig.txt available, it executes the
commands and when configuration is finished, camera deletes the file tnn_config.txt on microSD Card.
8 Configuration application

oben
Button 1
T 2
T 3
T 4
Turn on the camera:
Plug the power cord into the camera.
Plug the other side of the power cord into the 12V DC cigarette socket.
(Camera do not operate with 24V DC!)
When the camera power supply is quickly increased by more than 1V, the camera
automatically turns on. (Camera detects the fast rise of voltage!)
After power On, the camera starts in normal mode saying “Normal recording" and it
continuously takes 1 min. long video pairs (channel L and R).
You can now e.g .:
- Press the button1 (T1) or key 3 (T3), then "Manual recording" is triggered.
- Press T3 and hold to switch to “Parking mode” or back to “normal mode”.
- Short-Press T2, so that the microphone is switched on/off.
- Long-Press T2, so the voice announcements are turned off/on.
- Long-press T4 to begin formatting the memory card. Short-press T4 button again to confirm
the formatting process, or press any other key to not to begin formatting.
With the command "Save normal = 0;" in “Driving mode” you can disable permanent
recording. Then camera records 1 video only when video recording is activated manually by
pressing the button 1 or 3 or when G-sensor activates video recording.
With the command "normal save = 1;" you can activate the function "Permanent Recording"
in driving mode again.
When you take completely new camera into operation, check that the internal battery is
charged! Turn the camera on and after about 10 seconds, unplug the power cord out of the
camera. If the battery is charged, then you can hear the camera voice telling: "Unstable
power supply. Camera turns off. If you don’t hear this message, charge the camera by using
it for about 30 Min. After approx. 30 min., internal battery should be enough charged to
allow camera to complete actual video and say that it turns off because of instable power
supply.
When internal battery is empty or damaged and power supply is interrupted, camera can
not properly complete last recorded video. Such videos are not playable in video players, but
you can recover such videos with HyperviewCam Video Player.
9 Operation

1) Driving mode:
After switching on, the camera is in driving mode. In this mode, the function "Permanent Record"
is activated: This is the default setting. Also after the execution of command "normal save: 1;"
the camera takes continuously 1 min. long videos on (left and right video).
After execution of the command "Save normal: 0;“ then video recording of (-30 to +15 sec.) videos is only activated
manually, by presing the button 1 or 3 or by G-sensor.
Videos are stored in the folder “normal”.
In Chapter 12 you can read about the maximum size of each folder.
For driving mode use command “gsensor”. For parking mode use command “gsensorp”. In driving mode mode vehicle
is more vibrating then when parked, therefore “gsensorp” values are more sensitive than “gsensor” values for driving
mode.
2) Parking mode:
Long-Press key 3 to change between Normal mode and Parking mode.
In parking mode, video recording will be triggered by:
- Motion: When image changes sufficiently rapid the camera detects motion and activates the recording of the video.
The motion sensitivity can be set by the command "motion = 2;“ [in range 1-3].
- Vibration: When the vehicle is vibrating, the G-sensor can, depending on the selected sensitivity, detect vibration,
then recording of video (-30 to +15 sec.) is activated. Sensitivity of the G sensor means "Gsensor: 3;" [in range 1-5].
Those videos are saved in the folder "parking".
For parking mode use command “gsensorp”. In parking mode vehicle is resting therefore “gsensorp” values are more
sensitive than “gsensor” values for driving mode.
a) Manual recording:
After pressing button 1 or 3, the camera saves a 45-second video, which started 30 seconds before pressing a button
and ends 15 seconds after the button is pressed.
The user can start "Manual Recording“at any time.
Those videos are saved in the folder "user".
b) Event Recording:
Is activated by G-sensor, when a vibration activates recording. The G-sensor has 5 sensitivity levels and can by changed
for example with "Gsensor: 1;".
Those videos are saved in the folder "event".

11 Exporting Live-videos

Depending on whether the function "Permanent Record" by command "normalsave" [1 or 0]
is enabled or not, the space on the microSD card will be divided accordingly.
In driving mode and permanent recording state (normalsave = 1;) 4 directories are partitioned: Normal/Event/Parking/Manual in the ratio
6:2:1:1. Approximately 10% of the memory can not be used for videos. With 16 GB microSD card, it looks something like this:
Above directory-limitations are relevant only for camera, it means camera don’t put more videos into particular directory. If directory
is full, camera delete oldest video pair, before storing new video pair. With 16 GB memory card and video compression standard
8Mbps, about 145 "normal" video (L and R channel) are stored. Camera can store double more videos on 32 GB microSD card.
When disabling “Permanent recording” with command “normalsave = 0;" camera will format memory card and establish only 3
directories on microSD card: Event/Parking/Manual (Directory “Normal” is disabled, because of no permanent recording) with the
ratio 4: 3: 3. With config command "normalsave = 1;" camera will reformat the memory card and form 4 partitions incl. normal
directory for permanent recording videos.
Please note! During each formatting process or mode change by command "normalsave=[0:1];" all data on microSD card (incl. Videos)
will be deleted! Move your important videos on another storage medium prior to changing the configuration using the "normalsave".

Insert the microSD card from the camera into PC. If necessary, use the
supplied card adapter.
PC recognizes the memory card as a new partition and
opens a window to the directory "camera".
Click on directory “camera” to see other directories.
You can select a left or right video file. The player
automatically selects the appropriate L or R video file and
play them together, then the next in chronological order.
Please note that every single HD video file can be more
than 60 MB in size and therefore player requires
appropriate performance of the PC and sufficient RAM.
Make a backup of important files as often as possible!
Some problem with the memory card may happen and e.g.
formatting the memory card (incl. loss of recorded videos) may be
necessary to continue to use the camera with this microSD card.

In Player mode, can Videostitcher repair defective videos. See icon 1 and 2.
Repaired videos have no sound, but can be played normally and exported into one good stitched file.
For example, you use completely new camera and the internal battery is not charged or after long time internal battery no more works. When
suddenly power interrupt occur (engine turned off -> camera power supply is interrupted), camera is not able to properly close video before it
turns off. Then last recorded video remains unusable.
Therefore, every time when user select directory with videos, player checks if videos in selected directory are ok. If not, defective videos are
marked red and also icon 2 appears. If user select particular red video then also icon 1 appears.
After clicking the icon only selected video red pair will be repaired*.
After clicking the icon all red video pairs in directory will be repaired.*.
*) Repaired means: From red (faulty) video pair (L and R video), an additional, blue (repaired) video pair is produced with the suffix "_fix" and
stored in the same folder. The defective red video couple receives the suffix "_bad" and is no longer visible in the Player list. (is in Windows
Explorer as "_bad.mp4" file visible). If there is no more space available on the disk for new videos, the application asks the user to define where
repaired videos should be saved.
