Recording with your Archos Helmet CamCorder
Your Archos Helmet CamCorder will be powered through your ARCHOS device, so be sure to charge it
fully when intending to make longer recordings.
You can clip the controller of your Archos Helmet CamCorder for example onto your shirt pocket. The
camera itself is typically fitted into the headband and worn so that you record what you see.
The next two sections explain the two options for making a recording:
using the camera controller
using the camera controller, or
using the CamCorder application of your ARCHOS device
using the CamCorder application of your ARCHOS device, which lets you set a number of parameters.
Making a Recording Using the Camera Controller
To start recording:
To start recording:
Press the
Start/Stop
button on your camera controller. The red and green lights will momentarily go
on, and on the screen of your ARCHOS device, you will see a message indicating that a video signal is
detected.The image transmitted from the camera will then be displayed and the recording will start.
To stop recording:
To stop recording:
Press the
Start/Stop
button on the camera controller again.This time, only the green light will display.
This indicates that the recording has stopped. The ARCHOS device will now save your video file and
take you to the folder where the video is saved.
Note:
Note: pressing the
Start/Stop
button on the controller also works while the buttons of your ARCHOS
device are locked.You can thus conveniently make a recording while carrying your ARCHOS device in
a backpack, for example.

No light: the Helmet CamCorder is not connected properly to the ARCHOS device or the device is off.
Notes on the Archos Helmet CamCorder
Do not be concerned if the controller’s lights are not lit while your Helmet CamCorder is in use.This is normal.
The loudspeaker of your ARCHOS device will be disabled during the recording as this could result in
audio feedback.The microphone integrated into the camera controller will record the sound. Therefore
make sure that it is not covered in order to obtain the best possible sound for your recording.
If images look distorted, you might be too close to the object you are filming.This effect is also re-
ferred to as “fish eye effect”.The range for obtaining undistorted images is between 1.5 and 10 meters.
While the camera is connected to your ARCHOS device, the
VideoCorder
VideoCorder icon in the
Home Screen

Use the camera in moderate conditions.Avoid cold or hot temperatures, humidity over 85%, and dust or sand.
The same precautions apply to the controller.
Please be aware that the camera and controller are not water-proof and should be kept away from water.

NEVER direct the camera at the sun!
