Using the Remote Control
1. Ensure you are pointing the remote control sensor towards the camera sensor.
Press either the remote control “Movie shutter button” 
or the “Photo
capture button” 
2. The LED on the camera will change from green to red to show recording has
begun.
3. The remote control has a limited range. We recommend using the remote
control within 4m of the camera if the control is pointed straight. If the control
is being pointed at an angle we recommend users stay within a 2m radius and
limit the projection angle to within 20° left/right of the IR receiver.
Note:
1. Default resolution is 640 x 480 (VGA).
2. If the recording time is long, the video file may be separated into multiple 
files automatically. The user does not need to monitor this process, the 
camera will resume filming once the file is saved (after a couple of seconds).
Please note that the time duration needed to save video files may vary
depending upon the length of the file. Please be patient during this process.
