How it works:

Installed inside a car the Camera detects in standard mode "CC" the status of the engine trough the cigarette plug. The camera starts and stops automatically, recording Videos with a length of 15 minutes. Oldest files will be deleted if necessary. For best results use a SD-Card with 2, 4 or 8GB and a writing speed of 4MB/sec minimum. The card "clicks" when inserted - use a pen for support.

Installation inside a car:

Remove the film protecting the lens. Insert the adaptor-plug into the cigarette socket. Fix the camera somewhere inside the car and let the lens point to the selected direction. Adjust with the pivot head. Make sure the cable will never affect your action at any time.

When starting the engine of your car the camera indicates the recording by turning bars in the display, the car adaptor's green LED starts blinking. When the engine stops, the recorded file will be closed shown by "CC" and the camera shuts down. The camera records videos with a length of 15 minutes. Oldest files will be deleted if free memory is getting low. A 3 second gap will be in between the video files; equal to 0,3% of each file. Depending onto the position inside the car the final video has to be turned 180^ - use MicroSoft Movie Maker to realize.
