The camera does not have a zoom function.

If you want to change the date and time by yourself, the procedure is very simple. On your computer, plug in your pen camera. "A new Removable disc should appear. Now, with the "notepad" application of the same computer, create a file called "time.txt." Setting the TIME AND DATE is done by editing a text file named the time.txt .txt in the root directory of the device's memory card. Open the time.txt file in an editor like Notepad and set the proper date and time along with ‘Y’ or ‘N’ at the end.

For example, if it is set 2022-02-26, 15:20:35 Y (to enable display on video files) or N (if you do not want the date and time stamp displayed on video files) -you will need to edit this data with the correct TIME and DATE.

After saving the file, disconnect the video camera from the computer and turn it on.

Unscrew the top of the Spy Cam Pen to expose the USB port. Connect the USB cable to the Spy Cam Pen and connect the other end to your computer. Wait for the Spy Cam Pen micro SD memory card device icon to appear on your computer desktop. (Or look at your computer’s removable drives for the SD card.) Double click on the icon/removable drive to open and download the video footage and photos onto your computer hard drive.

Some computers may not have software programs that will easily play your recordings. You need to download the most recent version of VLC Player. It can be downloaded for free at http://www.videolan.org.

The max micro SD card's memory capacity is up to 128 GB.

Without the SD card the camera does not work.
