Helpful Hints to Make Setup Even Easier

Getting Started
When you turn on your Covert Alarm Clock Hidden Camera , you will automatically be taken to "Monitoring Mode." From here, you will be able to access the device's "Main Menu;" from the "Main Menu," you will be able to set a variety of customizable preferences to meet your unique monitoring/recording needs.

Simply "Simplex"

Viewing Video Capture vs. Recording Video Footage
The Alarm Clock Hidden Camera comes with a built-in Digital Video Recorder (DVR) , which is a device that records video.

What if I want to see captured video on a TV or monitor while my hidden camera is recording?
Since the Alarm Clock Hidden Camera has a Simplex functionality, you will not be able to both record and view "live" video on a screen at the same time. Information can only flow from one place to another place with this type of DVR.

What's the Value of Looking at a Screen When You Can't Record What You're Watching?
Our experts suggest connecting your Alarm Clock Hidden Camera w/ DVR to a TV or monitor to test to get an instant preview of the quality of the video you will be recording under a specific set of conditions. This is a great option for anyone who wants to test lighting conditions and camera placement, and will help you avoid recording video that's grainy, dark or simply just didn't turn out the way you expected.

What the Lux?
Lux is the total amount of visible light and the intensity of this light across a certain area, but what does that mean to someone looking to record video with Alarm Clock Hidden Camera?

The Alarm Clock Hidden Camera has a minimum illumination of 0.2 lux, capturing video in low-light conditions. But, what exactly are low-light conditions? More importantly, what should you know about lux so that your device doesn't end up recording hours of dead video in a room with less than optimal lighting?

Shedding Light on Lux
Imagine you're standing in a room that's 12' x 12'; you are at one end of the room and have placed your Alarm Clock Hidden Camera on a nightstand that's directly across from you. Let's say you are looking to capture video at night, but you're not sure how the video is going to turn out.

*Expert Tip: If you have a nightlight plugged into a socket that is unobstructed by furniture, etc., the Alarm Clock Hidden Camera will capture video, but the quality of the picture will not be as clear. If you are looking to capture video in a low-light environment, you may want to add an additional nightlight or use another lighting source to insure the video captured meets your desired expectations.

While the best solution to this problem would be to test your Alarm Clock Hidden Camera in the environment, where you will be using it, and under a variety of different conditions (lights on, lights off, blinds closed, etc.); you should know that the Alarm Clock Hidden Camera will not capture video in complete darkness since it is not an Infrared (IR) Camera.

24/7 : Sleepless in Surveillance
If you choose to constantly record video (Continuous Recording Mode), you should know that these ongoing recordings will take up more space on your SD card than less frequent motion-activated recordings.

The One Month Promise...or Myth?
*So, it is important to know that the estimate "up to one month of storage" applies to maximum performance settings. For this estimate, video recordings are set to their lowest-quality resolution and are set at infrequent intervals. To get a better idea of this, think of your cell phone:

Making the SD Card Work "It" for You
What happens when you see the light turn red on your cell phone? You'll see the "Maximum Battery Saver" option will limit the number and types of alerts, notifications and applications your phone will run to conserve battery life to keep you're phone on as long as possible.. If you are looking to maximize your SD Card disk space, like with your phone, you can opt to record lower-quality (lower-resolution video) all day or choose this mode during inactive periods of the day to save valuable storage space.

Stop. Freeze. Go.
The other option open to you with the Alarm Clock Hidden Camera is to set its recording mode to "Motion Activated;" (this is a good idea if the room you're looking to monitor doesn't have a lot of traffic). Lastly, you can choose "Scheduled Recording" mode; choose a specific time(s) that will repeat daily; assigning fewer preset recording time blocks will help you get the most mileage out of SD Card storage space.

I Need More Space.
The great thing about this device is that the SD card is removable and if 2GB isn't cutting it for you, you can upgrade your Alarm Clock Hidden Camera's storage all the way up to 32GB SD Card. A 16GB or 32GB SD Card will give you hours of storage space for all of your high-quality video recordings.
