Frequently Asked Questions - BS2000HD VOLTCRAFT

How to charge the battery of the Voltcraft BS2000HD?

Connect the supplied mains adapter to the power input of the videoscope and plug it into a mains socket. The charging status is displayed on the screen. It is normal for the device to heat up during charging. Do not leave charging unattended.

Which microSD card to use and how to format it?

Use a microSD card class 10, up to 32 GB, formatted in FAT32. Insert the card into the slot. If it is not formatted correctly, a message appears; follow the on-screen instructions to format. Note: all data is erased during formatting.

Why is the screen black after turning on?

This may be due to a low battery. Recharge the device. If the screen only displays text, check that the camera is properly connected via the adapter cable and insertion cable.

How to transfer photos and videos to a computer?

Two methods: 1) Connect the videoscope to the computer via the mini USB cable, then in the Settings menu, select 'PC Connect'. The device appears as an external drive. 2) Remove the microSD card and use a card reader.

In the Settings menu, select 'Length Measure'. The length is displayed on the screen and increases automatically as the camera advances. You can manually reset it at any time. This measurement is reset upon restart.

Can I use the device in water?

How to reset the videoscope if it freezes?

If the device does not respond, use a paperclip or thin object to press the reset button located on the side (near the hole). Then, press and hold the power button to restart.

Why do recorded videos stutter?

Rapid movements of the camera head during recording can cause a stuttering effect. Slow down the movement. Also ensure the microSD card is class 10 and properly formatted in FAT32.
