Connecting the POV.1 to a Computer
You can connect the POV.1 to either a PC or a Macintosh computer. When
connecting to a PC the POV.1 integrates with the POV Manager software.
When connecting to a Mac, the POV.1 appears as a removable storage
device, and you can access the video that you recorded the same way you
would access any other storage device.
Connecting to a PC
The included USB cable allows connection between the POV.1 and a PC.
Before making the connection, install the POV Manager software from the
included software CD. When the USB cable is connected, the POV.1
automatically changes to USB mode and the controls on the POV.1 unit are
disabled. Follow the instruction in the POV Manager User Guide section
that appears later in this manual.
If you don’t have the software available for the POV.1 you can still connect
the POV.1 to a PC. It will appear as a USB storage device that can be
accessed like a standard disk drive from the PC. This can be handy if you
are in the field or at a location and want to copy files from the POV.1 to a
PC to back them up.
Files can be backed up onto a PC with or without the POV Manager
software. When the POV.1 Recorder is connected to a PC the SD card in the
POV.1 will appear on the PC as a removable storage device. You can access
and back-up videos by opening the POV.1 folder, then the DCIM folder, and
finally the 100_POV1 folder.
After you have backed up your video files to a PC you can then delete the
stored video files from the POV.1 Recorder. This will allow you to free up
more space for recording your videos. If you have previously backed up
files from a POV.1 onto your computer be sure to copy your new files to a
new folder so that you will not overwrite your original video files.
