LED On / Off
For the most clandestine surveillance, you can minimize the chances of giving away
the camera’s position from a lit LED. You can disable the multi-colored light entirely.
After clicking on the LED Off setting, make sure to click on Sync Settings to DVR and
keep the camera’s three-way switch in Custom mode.
The LED is set to On in Surveillance and On-the-go modes. It’s set to On by default
when recording in custom mode.
Tip: It may not be prudent to disable the LED. You’re also disabling the camera’s
status indicators.
Triggers
Continuous video recordings are comprehensive, but they consume storage and
make locating incidents laborious. Alternatively, you can set the camera to start video
recording by using up to three triggers: voice, vibration and/or motion. The camera’s
responsiveness to these triggers each can be adjusted according to three levels of
sensitivity.
Voice-Trigger Sensitivity
In the case of the camera’s microphone picking up a voice or voices to trigger
recording, you can adjust the mic sensitivity to High, Medium, or Low. If the goal is
to trigger a recording from people yelling or shouting, set the sensitivity to Low. If it
makes more sense to trigger a recording from people whispering, set the sensitivity
to High. If you’re not sure, set it to Medium. You should experiment to see which
setting is best in the intended environment.
Once triggered, a recording will continue for 5 minutes, then return to standby until
triggered again. After choosing a voice-sensitivity trigger in the Zetta Widget software,
make sure to click on Sync Settings to DVR and keep the camera’s three-way switch
in Custom mode. Voice triggering is disabled in Surveillance and On-the-go modes.
The Widget software’s voice-trigger is disabled by default.
Vibration-Trigger Sensitivity
You can set the camera to start recording when it senses a vibration, which may
be an appropriate use when placing the camera in an unattended vehicle. You can
set the level of sensitivity to High, Medium or Low. In a noisy environment like when
the car is parked on a busy street, set the trigger to Low Sensitivity. (Otherwise, the
camera might be triggered to record too much.) But in an isolated parking lot, set the
