Overview
Operating Guidelines
Congratulations on your purchase of the RemoteCam, a miniature self-contained
digital video recorder which, as the name suggests, looks like a remote control.
With an included rechargeable lithium-ion battery which will give up an hour
of recording time and recording video directly to microSD card (not included),
the RemoteCam is a convenient and adaptable camera/recorder, with as many
applications as you can imagine for it.
The RemoteCam is an ideal solution for covert surveillance (see the Note Regarding
Law below before engaging in this) as well as a very convenient solution for people
who feel like they never have a camera on-hand when they need one. Feeling like
a spy is a bonus.
IMPORTANT - A Note Regarding Law
As noted on the inside cover in the ‘Prohibition Against Eavesdropping’ section,
the use of covert recording equipment is illegal in many countries and localities.
In some areas, the law only relates to public spaces, whilst in others it extends to
private spaces also. The laws regarding video recording and audio recording can
differ as well - sometimes dramatically.
The RemoteCam is used on the condition that you, the user, research the law as
it applies to you in your locality. Make sure you know the law and thoroughly
follow it whilst using the RemoteCam or any other recording device. If the legality
of recording is at all ambiguous, we strongly suggest obtaining the express
permission of your subjects to do so.
These are just a couple of points to keep in mind whilst using the RemoteCam:
• Do not point the RemoteCam towards exceedingly bright light sources such as the
sun, high-powered headlights or stadium lights. The bright light may damage the
image sensor, either leaving a permanent ‘shadow’ on your videos where the light
source has damaged the sensor, or rendering the sensor completely inoperable.
• Avoid adverse weather conditions. Excessive heat (direct or ambient) and
moisture (such as rain or humidity) will cause the RemoteCam to behave
erratically or not work at all.
• Do not dispose of in fire. When exposed to significant heat lithium-ion
batteries can explode. That, and burning plastic isn’t particularly kind to the
environment.
• The small lens on the RemoteCam can be difficult to clean. Rather than having
to clean it, avoiding dusty or dirty environments is preferable. It also helps if
you clean the lint out of your pockets, as this tends to get lodged in the lens
cavity.
• If the lens does become dirty, clean with cleaning alcohol and/or a specialized
lens cleaning cloth (these are available from all good camera stores).
• Follow proper disposal guidelines in your locality if you intend to dispose of
the RemoteCam. Many localities have strict guidelines as to the disposal of
electronic items, particularly those with built-in rechargeable batteries.
Before Using the RemoteCam
The RemoteCam has a built-in lithium ion battery (the same sort of battery as most
mobile phones use, only smaller). We charge them up before we send them out –
however, due to time in transit, you’ll need to top it up before using it.
To charge the RemoteCam:
1. Locate the mini-USB port on the side of the RemoteCam.
2. Using the supplied USB-A to Mini-USB-A cable, attach the RemoteCam to a
spare USB port on your computer, or to a stand-alone USB charger.
3. Whilst charging the orange LED will flash.
4. The RemoteCam takes 3 ~ 4 hours to achieve a full charge. It is important to
leave it for the full duration, particularly during the first charge. You can just
leave it plugged into the USB power - it’ll stop charging once it’s full.
