Sting II User Guide 13
WARNING A series of vibrations indicates that the STING II
has approximately 2-5 minutes of recording time
left because the battery is low and or memory
card is full and needs to be recharged/replaced.
Via Infrared Remote Control
To start a recording session, you can use the STING II Infrared remote
control to initiate a recording session by pressing the REC button on the
top right corner of the device.
The red blinking light on the top of the STING II unit indicates that it is in
record mode. Press the Stop button (square icon on lower left corner of
black navigation panel) to stop the recording session via the remote
control.
Via the STING II Control Buttons
Press the right button to begin recording. To record video and/or audio,
hold the button down for 5 seconds. If you press the button for a shorter
period of time, STING II will capture single-frame .jpg image files.
The red blinking light on the top of the STING II unit indicates that it is in
record mode. Press the button again to stop the recording session.
Via Motion Sensor
STING II enables you to trigger recording sessions based on the detection
of a moving object. Sensors trigger the recording session to begin and will
automatically stop when no movement is detected for a predefined period
of time. The default value is 30 seconds. For more information, see
Motion
Detection
on page 23.
Alarm Indication
When the remote control cable vibrates continuously, this is an alarm. Press
the remote control button to stop the vibration.
An alarm indicates one of the following:
• The camera cable has been disconnected (lost video-sync).
• The Microdrive card has been removed or dislodged.
• The STING II has suffered a severe malfunction and cannot continue
recording.
To resume recording after an alarm indication:
1. Reconnect the camera cable and/or push the Microdrive card back in.
2. Turn the STING II off and on again using the On/Off button.
3. Press the remote control button once, and keep it pressed for about
two seconds, to start recording again.
