7. TROUBLE SHOOTING
Q1. What is the recording capacity for 1GB SD card?
A1. Different recording setup has different recording capacity. Table below shows possible
recording time during continues recording applying different record mode.
Quality Frame Rate SD Card High Medium Low
VGA (640 x 480)
QVGA (320 x 240)
Q2. Why does the system auto reboot during normal operation?
A2. It indicates that the SD card error has been detected. To enable data completeness,
monitoring procedure will reboot the device. After device reboot the system returns to the
status before reboot (Ex.: returns to Manual Record or Schedule Record).
Q3. Why won’t the drag scroll work when playback on PC?
A3. To solve this problem, please download “AsfTools” (http://www.geocities.com/myasftools).
