4.2 Taking a snapshot
Press the Snapshot button to take a snapshot that
contains the current camera image and heatmap.
For analytics purposes, the snapshot includes a
short video (4 seconds) and an audio clip of the
strongest sound source. The video and audio clip are from
the preceding 4 seconds before you press the Snapshot
button. For this reason, you should keep the camera
steady for a few seconds before taking a snapshot,
inorder to get a clear signal from the source of interest.
Thedirection of the strongest sound source is shown with
a crosshair. Aer you have taken a snapshot, the camera
displays a screen where you can enter comments. The
camera also allows you to input the distance manually in
the screen by clicking the Change button that is shown
on-screen aer a snapshot is taken.
Aer entering such pieces of information, press the Save
button to save the snapshot. If at this point you choose
to not save the snapshot, press the Trash button in the
bottom le corner instead. Please note that if you use the
camera to photograph people, remember to ask their
consent prior to capturing any images.
4.3 Recording a video
Press the Video Recording button to the right
of the Snapshot button to start recording. Note that the
video length is limited to 5 minutes. To stop recording,
tap the video recording button again. Aer you have
finished recording, you can enter additional information
just like when taking a snapshot. You are also given the
option to save or erase the recorded video clip. You can
erase the clip by tapping the Trash button.
You can view the saved videos later in the NL Cloud, NL
Camera Viewer, or NL Camera Viewer Pro. However, you
cannot view the recorded videos on the camera itself, or by
using any other video player soware on your computer.
Please note that if you use the camera to take videos
showing people, remember to ask their consent prior
tocapturing any images.

The number of snapshots currently saved on the LF10 is
shown to the right of the Snapshot Browser button. If there
are two dots visible next to the number, snapshots are
currently being uploaded to the NL Cloud.

through the snapshots you've taken. Thumbnails
of the snapshots are shown at the bottom of the
screen, and you can scroll through these horizontally.
