Can I Use the Z12 as a Live Web Cam?
No. The camera will not record when attached to a computer via its USB cable. It will charge and play
recorded video through a media player on your computer.
Can I Schedule Recordings Outside of 3-
hour Multiples?
No. When designating blocks of time for the Z12 to record video using the Schedule Settings screen
in the Zetta Widget, the minimum duration is three hours. You can drag your mouse to program
longer segments, but they must be in multiples of 3 hours. So, you can designate a 3-, 6, 9- or 12-hour
block, but you can’t set a 4-hour block. Also, a block must begin at midnight, 3 am, 6 am, 9 am, noon, 3
pm, 6 pm, or 9 pm. And no, you can’t switch the software from military (24-hour) to 12-hour AM and
PM time.
When Should I Use the Reset Button?
Assuming that the camera is charged but locked up, try using the Reset button under the camera. If
you can, first remove the memory card. Because the button is recessed with pinhole access, grab a
pin, toothpick, wire or any tool sufficiently narrow to fit into the hole. The reset button will click when
pressed. Keep it pressed for 5 seconds. Camera settings will be returned to the factory defaults. If
you were unable to remove the memory card, you may lose any content.
How Do I Know the Camera Is on Standby?
With the three-position switch set to Custom Mode and no light coming from the LED, press the
Power button until the green LED turns on. It will shine steadily, then flash for a few seconds and turn
off. The camera is set for standby. You can place the camera in position and walk away. If, on the other
hand, you press the LED for two seconds, it turns orange and shuts off, the camera has shut down and
will not wake up on its own. Press the LED until the green LED comes on, flashes for a few seconds,
then turns off. The camera is set for standby. It’s important to recognize the state in which you leave
the camera if you expect it to recognize the Schedule Settings.
