we recommend using the included USB cable instead of
removing the memory card.

OPERATION

To set the clock

Gently pull out the clock’s stem (located near the 3 on the
face) and rotate the stem to the proper time. Then, push the
stem back, as you would a typical watch or clock.

Switching on

In power off mode, press the Power On / Off / Record / Save
button (1) until the red light stays on for several seconds.
The red light will turn off and a green light will turn on,
indicating the device has entered standby mode. Note: In

standby mode, the camera will shut down automatically in 1
minute without any operation.

Recording video and audio manually

1. In standby mode, press the Power On / Off / Record / Save

button (1) once. The green light flashes 6 times then turns off,

indicating it has started recording.

2. To stop recording, press the Power On / Off / Record / Save

(1) once. The green light will turn on, showing that the video
has been saved and the device is back in standby mode. For
safety, every video file will be saved every 5 minutes. Note:

When the memory is full, the device will overwrite the oldest
file automatically to make room for newer videos.

Recording video and audio by motion detection

1. Under standby mode, press Function Button (2) until the red

light flashes and then turns off. This means it is now in motion
detection recording mode. When the camera moves or when
the video subjects are moving, it starts to record automatically.

2. When the camera detects no motion, it will stop recording

and save the video automatically. In motion detection
recording mode, when the video subjects move again, it will
record automatically again.

3. To manually save the recordings, press the Power On /

Off / Video / Save button (1) once. The green light will come
on, showing the video is saved and the device will return to
standby mode.

Switching off

In any mode, press the Power On / Off / Video / Save button (1)
for several seconds. The red light flashes 3 times then turns off,
indicating that the device is powered off. Note: In manual and

motion detection mode, when you shut down with the Power On
/ Off / Video / Save button, the system will first save the video file,
then power off.

System reset

Should you encounter an error in recording, you may need to
reset your recording system. Press the Power On / Off / Video
/ Save button (1) and the Function button (2) at the same
time. All the lights will turn off, indicating it is powered off.
The system will also be reset. Note: If you shutdown with this

method, your last video file will not be saved.

Charging

Charge the clock for 2 hours before using it for the first time.
Connect the device to a computer via the included USB cable
while powered off. The green light of the camera stays on,
and a red light flashes while being charged. When the device
is fully charged, the green light will turn on and the red light
will turn off. It should charge fully in 2-3 hours. Do not leave it
charging for more than 4 hours.

Video playback

In power off mode, connect the camera to a computer via
USB cable to play back video on computer. Please make
sure that you have some video playback software (such as
Quick Time player, KM Player or M player) before connecting.
If you do not, a disc is provided that has a video player for
installation.

1. Go to My Computer to search for the Removable Drive.

2. Click on Removable Drive, then click through the folders

until you find your images and video that you wish to view.

3. To delete files: right click on the file you wish to delete

and hit delete.

Note: On review of your video, you will hear the internal
ticking of the clock mechanism during playback.

Setting the time on screen

During video playback, your device will show the recording time in
the lower right corner of the video. Please set time as follows:

1. Insert the user manual CD into the computer.

2. Open the file: update time tool V2.0.

3. Click the file, then the time of the Motion Activated Camera

Desk Clock will be synchronized with your computer.

ATTENTION

1. When recording, if the power is low, the red light flashes

quickly three times, the system will save the video first, then
turn off automatically.

2. When there is not enough memory left, the device will

automatically delete the oldest files and continue recording.

3. When taking video continually, the system will automatically

generate a new video file after every operation.

4. For optimal video performance, record in a well-lit

environment, keep the camera vertical and stable, and keep a
proper distance from the scene you want to record in order to
achieve the best effect.

5. The time it takes for computers to recognize this device

varies. Please be patient while your computer recognizes this
