Q-See QD113P User Manual

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for your purchase of the Q-See QD113P
Portable Surveillance Device. This versatile tool is
built around an ultra-mini camera which combines

1.3-megapixel still photography and high-resolution
real-time video with audio in a compact, discrete
package. Store nearly 4,000 pictures or 2 hours of
video on the internal 4GB memory. View or save
your files on any PC with a USB port. Recharge the
pen with the included charger or from a computer’s
USB port. The ease of use, small size and el­egant design make this a valuable tool for security
personnel, business people, students, tourists and
others.

CHARGING

The pen features a high-capacity rechargable
lithium polymer battery. This form of battery does
not have a “memory” effect meaning that it can
be recharged at any time without loss of capacity.
However, it is recommended that you fully charge
the battery and then use the camera normally until
it is fully discharged before recharging. Cycling the
battery in this manner for the first five times will
ensure maximum battery capacity and operation
time.

When charging the battery – whether using the
included charger, or plugged into an active USB
port – the status light will flash yellow/amber until
the battery is fully charged. During the first few
uses, allow the pen to continue charging for an
hour after the light stops flashing.

When using the charger, both the green and red
lights will illuminate until the battery is fully charged.
When fully charged, only the red light will remain
illuminated.

SETTING DATE & TIME

To ensure that your camera records the proper
date and time on the files, you should run the
Setting Time Tools V2.0 program located in the
folder of the same name on the included mini-CD.

When the program launches, a Command window
will open and the program will update the date and
time based on your computer’s settings.

Depending upon your computer’s settings, you
may see a warning about the pen’s drive not
being available. The warning is normal as the
program re-mounts the pen. Click “Continue” and
the status of the update will be displayed in the
Command window. Keep clicking “Continue” until
you see the “Success” message in the window.
Your pen now is set to the proper date and time.

HELPFUL HINTS

• When taking pictures, you will get the best
results if both you and your subject are relatively
still.

• The camera should be at least one foot from
your subject when taking pictures.

• While recording video, you should try to keep
the camera steady and avoid rapid movements
for best video quality.

• You should not hold the pocket clip while taking
video in order to avoid blocking the microphone
or lens.

The images and videos can be accessed by

Unwanted files can be removed from the drive
through the normal means.

STILL IMAGES

Still images can be opened in Windows’ Image

VIDEO PLAYBACK

Because of the many different video playback
programs available and their constantly updating
nature, we cannot provide a complete list of
compatible software. Windows Media Player will
generally play the video files created by this pen
depending on your particular configuration.

We have included the free KM Player software on
the mini-CD which will open and play your videos
on a Windows PC. You can install the software
from the disk or it is available online at http://
kmplayer.en.softonic.com.

For both Mac and PC computers, DivX Plus Player
is available for free at DivX.com. It also offers good
results.
