COMPUTER SETUP
The borescope can be used in conjunction with a personal computer to extend its functionality.
Copying Media
There are two ways to copy photos and videos from the borescope to a computer. If you are using an SD card and your computer has an SD card adapter, you can remove the SD card from the borescope and insert it into the computer.
If your computer does not have an SD card adapter or you are using the internal flash memory of the borescope, you will have to connect the borescope directly to the computer using the included USB cable.
The borescope will briefly show an illustration of a USB cable on the screen while it is connecting to the computer. Once it is connected, the screen will go blank, the battery will begin to charge, and the computer will begin initializing the connection.
