Camera Drive
When connecting the cam using the USB connector for the first time a box will pop up "installing drivers" which are the USB mass storage device and video camera USB device. A new drive will be listed on your pc, as example: Removable Disk (J;)
Pictures and Videos
All media files will be saved to the "DCIM/100MEDIA folder on the camera drive. Right click any of the media files you created in the folder for options like Cut, Copy, Paste, Delete. What I do is highlight all media (or edit, select all), cut and paste them to a folder on my pc, this removes them off camera SD card and saves them to pc.

25 minutes of recording time will put you around 2.2 GB.
This cam can do around 60 minutes of video on full charge.

Charging
USB takes about 70 minutes to fully charge if the battery is completely empty. When charging the yellow led will remain solid, when fully charged the led will shut off.

Using the car charger the camera will automatically start/stop recording when power is detected or not detected. Car charger can also charge and record at same time.

Note: There are 3 cables for this camera, the RCA cable with red & yellow ends used for A/V out, the single wire data cable that charges or transfers data, the longer 2 wire car charger cable used with car charger.

SD Cards

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

If this is the first time using web cam mode drivers will automatically download to your PC. After drivers have installed (Repeat) In charging mode press both power and shutter buttons again to start web cam mode.
