Using the Z12 Zetta Widget
Software
To adjust the date and time in your camera and to customize the Z12’s range of features, you must
first download and install the Widget software on your Windows or Macintosh computer. Use your
computer browser to go to http://support.spytecinc.com/help/article/link/zetta-widget.
Choose the Zetta Widget for a Windows PC or a Mac. Once the program is installed an icon on the
upper left corner of the Zetta Widget software is red when the camera isn’t connected to a USB port
on the computer and green when it is.
Note: The software refers to the camera as the DVR as in “digital video recorder”. The Zetta Widget
menus can be viewed in English, French, German, Italian and Chinese (simplified or traditional).
Adjusting the Camera’s Settings from the
Software
Using the included USB cable, attach the camera to the computer where the Zetta Widget software
is installed.
When the Z12 is attached to the PC, two lettered drives appear: one drive is the SD card (where the
files are stored) and one is the camera’s internal memory. The latter has a small amount of on-board
flash for settings and firmware. It’s not sufficient to store video.
The camera must be plugged into your computer to use the software. If the camera is not connected,
you’ll see an unplugged icon in red next to “DVR disconnected” at the top of the screen. When the
camera is connected using the included USB cable, you’ll see a plug in green followed by “DVR
connected.”
Note: Whenever you change settings in the software, they must be transferred to the camera. Click
on the circular icon to the left of “Sync Settings to DVR” to complete your choices. A confirming
checkmark in green next to “Settings Saved” will appear on the screen.
Setting the Date and Time
In order to superimpose the correct date and time in videos recorded with the Z12, you must use the
Zetta Widget software. With the plug icon shown in green and labeled “DVR Connected,” click on the
clock in the left icon. You can accept the PC Date Time active on your computer or you can click on the
Custom Date Time. Either way, make sure to click on Sync Date Time to DVR so that the settings are
