Addendum: Using the Camera Module with Apple MacOS
You will need to reference the main manual for other non-apple specific operations.
The instructions in this addendum depict the steps to take when using an Apple computer running
MacOS. If you are using a computer with Windows, please refer to the main instructions included with
the product.
SETTING THE DATE AND TIME ON THE CAMERA MODULE
This section covers the steps you need to take to ensure your camera module has the correct date and
time for your time zone; however it is not required and the video camera floodlight will still function and
record videos if this section is skipped.
1. To set the time and date, the camera module must be removed from the floodlight and connected
to a computer via the USB port.
2. Plug the camera module into a USB port on your computer. Two new drives
should appear in the upper right-hand corner of your desktop. The Sync
Program drive will appear as a DVD called “SyncCameraClock” and the
storage card will appear as a removable drive called “NO NAME”.
3. Open the “Sync Camera Clock” drive. You will see
two folders: “Mac OSX” and “Windows”.
4. Open the “MacOSX” folder and you will see the Sync program.
The camera does not automatically sync when you plug the
camera into a USB port. You must run this program to sync the
camera.
5. When the program opens, you will see a display that shows the date and time on the computer
listed as “PC Clock” and the date and time on the camera listed as “Camera Clock”. They will most
likely be different as the camera has not yet been synced. Click the “Time Synchronize” button to
sync the camera clock to the computer clock.
Before: After:
NOTE: You will need to sync the camera module again when seasonal time changes occur. The camera
module will not automatically adjust the time. Syncing the camera module to a computer ensures you
have the proper time.
NOTE: If the video camera floodlight is OFF or the battery has no power for more than four (4) days, the
date and time on the camera module may slip and no longer be accurate once the video camera
floodlight is switched back to AUTO. Repeat the "Setting the Date and Time" section above to sync the
camera again. Be sure the battery pack in the video camera floodlight is fully charged as well.
VIEWING THE VIDEOS
You must follow the steps in this section anytime you wish to view the videos on the micro-SD storage
card located in the camera module. If the camera is already plugged into the computer, skip to step 3.
If not, start with step 1. If the product or micro-SD card is new and no testing has been done, the card
will not have any files.
1. Disconnect the camera module by following the steps in "How to Disconnect the Camera Module"
on page 3 of the main instruction booklet included with the product.
2. Plug the camera module into a USB port on your computer.
3. Open the drive for the storage card, labeled “NO NAME”.
4. Double-click the folder labelled "DCIM"
NOTE: If the micro-SD card is new or if you have not tested the
coverage area (pg. 4 of the main instructions), the "DCIM"
folder will not exist yet.
5. The next set of folders you see are named by the date the videos were recorded.
The folders holding the videos for each day will be named with the following format: YYYYMMDD
(Year, Month, Day)
For example, all videos recorded on March 23rd, 2016 will be in a folder labeled 20160223. Find the
day you want to view and double-click the folder.
6. Within each folder, you will see all the video files recorded that day.
The video files will have the following format: YYYY_MM_DD_HH_MM_SS (Year, Month, Day, Hour,
Minute, Second).
The time stamp corresponds to the time the video started recording. The hours are listed in military
time so will appear as 00 through 23. For example, a video recorded on February 23rd, 2016 at 3:07
and 22 seconds PM will have the filename 2016_02_23_15_07_22.
7. Click on any of the files to view the video that was recorded at that time.
NOTE: There is a one (1) second delay between the time when the video camera floodlight is activated
and the time when the camera actually starts recording. Because of this delay, moving objects may be
well within the field of view of the camera when the video camera starts recording.
NOTE: After the micro-SD card is full, the camera records over the earliest recordings, so make sure you
save any files you want to your hard drive.
SAVING THE VIDEOS
1. Open the folder on your hard drive where you want to store the videos.
2. Go back to the folder view for the micro-SD card storage and highlight all of the files you wish to
save.
3. Click and drag the group of files to the folder on your hard drive where you want to store the files.
4. Once the files have transferred, you can delete the files on the micro-SD card storage.
