Motion detection

- Press the ‘Mode’ button for about 3 seconds. The blue/red LED is

flashing three times and the motion detection becomes directly active. During the recording, the LED is off. The camera will now

minutes sequences maximum). After saving this sequence, the camera will stop recording. The LED is still off, but the motion

detection mode remains activated. Once a new movement is detected, the camera begins again to record as long as a

movement is detected (5 minutes sequence max). A new movement detection is reported by a short blue/red flashing LED. Stop

Dashcam use

- You can use the A3s as a dashcam. If connected to a USB car socket, the camera will start automatically and record a 720p

video when you turn on the engine. If you want the camera to record in 1080p, you have first to turn on the camera and change

to 1080p video before connecting the camera to the power source, else it will not work. In both modes (720p and 1080p) the

camera will create sequences of 5 minutes each. When the capacity of the SD card is reached, it will overwrite the oldest record

and continue recording a new sequence. When you turn off the engine, no matter which mode you have chosen, the camera will

record the last sequence and turn off the device.

Time Stamp

- When a blank SD-card is inserted, the camera will create a ‘txt ’ file (TIMEREST.txt) to give you the opportunity to display the

time/date data on your video/photo. The format is 20181031152035 Y (for display) and

Open the TIMEREST.txt in a text editor and set the correct date and time as well as ‘Y’ or ‘N’ at the end to dispay or not the

time stamp in your video/photo. Directly after saving the file, insert the card in the camera and power the camera to update the

internal clock.

Resetting the camera

- As indicated in the manual, you should be able to reset the camera by inserting a small object in the reset hole. Unfortunately,

there exists no reset hole. If I find a solution, I will indicate it in a next update.

Using the A3s as a webcam

It is possible to use the A3s as a webcam, but not all programs are supporting this camera. One of a very interesting program

is the from NCH which I use.

- Download the program from the website and install it

- Turn on the camera and connect it to the computer using the supplied cable. The camera is now charging and the mass storage

drivers will be installed . Wait until these drivers are completely installed. Now push the on/off button. Supplemental video and

audio drivers will be installed . During all these operations the red LED flashes, no matter if your are in video mode or in

charging/access mode. (note : you do not need to remove the SD-card). Next time you connect the camera to the computer,

the camera will directly start in charging/access mode. You need to push the on/off button to switch to the video transfer mode.

- Start the program now. Open the ‘Tools’ menu , then ‘Options’. In the Video tab, chose the device ‘GENERAL -UVC ’

- The A3s is now ready for use
