To stop recording, just press the button again, will see indicator ash few
seconds then turns o, means the record is stop, now you can take o
your USB ash (or SD card).
Note: please do not take the memory o when the indicator is ashing. The
recording will automatically stop if the USB ash or SD card out of memory.
After recording is stopped, connect the USB ash or SD card to
computer to see the recorded les: for 1080P recording, le will be
Encode_1080P_1, for 720 or 480p recording, le will be Encode_1.
Every record/stop operation will create a dierent recording le:
Encode_1080P_1, Encode_1080P_2, Encode_1080P_3… and so on.
The max size per le will be around 1.95GB (around 15 minutes for
1080p video), when you record a video more than 1.95GB (15 minutes),
PVRC52 will partition it in more than 1 le, for example: if you record a
45 minutes 1080p video by one click recording, you will see 3 les:
Encode_1080P_1, Encode_1080P_1_1, Encode_1080P_1_2…and so on
Sometimes you may nd some recorded video with problems, like: skip.
This is due to using a USB ash on NTFS format, and you haven’t click
“safety remove” the device when disconnect from computer (especially
for USB HDD, if not safety remove, may caused serious problem). You
might need to format it to FAT32 if that problem keeps happening.
FIRMWARE AND OTHERS:
1. Update rmware: you maybe need update rmware for this device for
some reason. Copy the rmware le in to USB disk or SD card, power
o the device (unplug power jack), plug USB disk to device, power on,
the record indicator will ash 7~8 seconds, and become blue, it means
the update is nished.
2. After long time using, you will see the number of recording le
become too big, for example Encode_1080P_234, but you want it be
start from Encode_1080P_0, to do it you just keep pressing record
button (before power on), then plug the power jack to power on the
device, after 10 seconds, the le number will start from 0.

3. Change the date: you may nd out that the date of the recorded le is
not synchronous with your local time. To change the time of PVRC52,
you need create a TXT le name “rtc_setup”type your local date and
