D005 Mini Pocket Camera (720x480)

There are 2 push buttons and a power on/off Switch. The power switch does nothing more than turn power on or off. The "M" or mode button selects the different modes like Sound activated recording, Video recording, Pictures or Sound recording. The "Stop/Record" button does just what is sez but also acts as the snapshot button for taking pictures.

Mode Button: "M"

Dont press mode select button too fast, it needs a pause between each push.

 Sound activation mode. Turn on power switch, press the "M" button once, if you tap on the front of the camera or talk into it you will see a blue led start blinking meaning its recording. The blue led will slow blink for 2 minutes as it records then blue led shuts off leaving only the red led still on. This means the camera is in standby mode waiting for another sound to start recording again. To stop sound activation press the Stop/Record button.

 Video cam mode. Turn on power switch, press the M button twice slowly. Press the Stop/Record button. The blue led will fast flash until you stop the video. To stop recording press Stop/Record button again.

 Picture mode. Turn on power switch, press M button 3 times slowly. To take a picture press the Stop/Record button to take a snap shot. Each time you take a snap shot the blue led will flash once.

 Sound recording mode. Turn on power switch, press the M button 4 times slowly. Press the Stop/Record button. The blue led will remain solid during sound recording. This will only record sound no video. To stop recording press the Stop/Record button.

Pressing the Stop/Record button saves recording.
Holding the M button down for 3 seconds saves recording and shuts off camera.
You can then turn off power switch.

SD cards range from 2-32 GB. The cards used are the Micro SD/TF/SDHC with storage space 4GB/8GB/16GB/32GB. Tip: TF = TransFlash, SDHC = Secure Digital High Capacity. Your local computer store may sell these cards but you will probably find them cheaper online. The higher the class number (2, 4, 6...) the faster the read/write speed. Transcend, Kinston, and SanDisk are popular brands. Class numbers will be circled, see pic below.

Class is the rate in which data flows to and from the card.
Example:
Class 2 = 2MB/second
Class 8 = 8MB/second
Class 10 = 10MB/second
This is the minimum data transfer for each card.

When inserting the SD card the brass pins on card will face towards back of camera.

To remove or insert SD card push card IN until you hear a "click" sound.

If you dont have the webcam drivers you can download the drivers here. Once the drivers are installed plug the camera into the USB then switch on the power. Push the "M' button once to enter webcam mode, a window will pop up saying "Installing Driver Software" once it has completed you can view the live capture with Programs/SPCA1528/amcap.exe"

Pros: Same as #3 keychain cam so it has great sound/video quality. Comes with cam mounting equipment. The included wall charger can also be used to charge other mini cams.

Cons: Not motion activation as some listed. It does have sound activation but you almost need to yell into mic to get it to come on. The audio does get a low buzzing sound from time to time.

This is what the time stamp looks like on the D005 cam.
Time/date located at the bottom right of each video/picture.
