MICRO-D Manual V.1.3
Chapter 4: Getting Started
OVERVIEW ON SET-UP PROCEDURES
Below is an overview of the MICRO-D installation procedures, (A detailed explanation is found in
Chapter 5 - Hardware Installation.)
(1) Insert a SD MEMORY.
(2) Connect MICRO-D to a TV set or MONITOR.
(3) Connect camera to MICRO-D
(4) Connect optional accessories (sensors or alarm).
(6) Connect the power.
(7) Turn the power on.
(8) Start TV Monitoring and recording.
General Operating Advice:
● Make sure that a SD Memory is inserted and one camera is properly connected.
(See Chapter 5 -Hardware Installation)
● The SD Memory Format setting must be set (Refer to Chapter 5 – SD Memory Installation for more
information.) Otherwise, MICRO-D may not recognize the SD Memory.
● The firmware used in MICRO-D is compatible with your computer’s operating system (i.e. Windows).
Therefore, you can take the SD memory card from this MICRO-D and install it in your computer to view
recorded video. (Refer to the PC Viewer manual.)
● MICRO-D offers you the flexibility to choose a recording frame rate (maximum rate: 30 frames per second).
A faster frame rate provides more natural video images in recorded video files. However, it requires more SD
Memory storage. You may reduce the frame rate (minimum rate: 1 frame per second) to fit longer recording
sessions in consideration of your SD card capacity.
● If a camera is normally connected to MICRO-D, it enters the default operational state: VIEW mode. In this
mode, MICRO-D does not record nor play the recorded stream. It just shows the current images from camera
connected to MICRO-D.
● The default values of MICRO-D for recording are set up at 30 frames per second with High video quality.
If you use 1GB SD Memory, MICRO-D can record approximately for 2 hours in a row.
● There is an exception to entering the VIEW mode at start up. If the power is abnormally turned off while
MICRO-D is performing emergency recording (i.e. a power failure), it will enter recording mode automatically
when you reboot MICRO-D.
