How to view the recorded video files?
This camera records to a micro sd card. After your pet has returned with their video footage, you can connect the camera directly to your Windows based PC to view the recorded video files. Or you can remove the micro SD card and insert it into a micro SD card reader (if available).
What format does Mr Petcam record in and how do I view my pets videos?
Our camera records in AVI format which plays back on most Windows computers that have Windows Media Viewer (WMV) installed. If you do not have this program, it is a free download you can obtain from Microsoft's website.
How long does the battery last?
With a full battery charge, Mr Petcam can record continously for over one hour. If you enable motion activation mode, it will only record video when it senses motion. This can greatly extend the battery life of Mr Petcam as it is not recording continously but only when there is movement. In motion activation mode, battery life can exceed eight hours or sometimes longer depending on how active or unactive your pet is.
Can the camera be used for other purposes?
Yes. Mr Petcam is a very versatile little DVR (Digital Video Recorder) with many uses beyond that of just POV (point-of-view) pet recordings.
Is it waterproof?
Mr Petcam does not have a waterproof rating. However, being mounted directly underneath your pets collar, it prevents any light rain from potentially reaching the cameras internals. We do not advise using Mr Petcam in rainy conditions. Water damage is not covered by our 1-year warranty.
Does it work better on cats or dogs?
It really depends on the cat or dog. Cats in general move more slowly and gracefully than dogs. Also, cats usually turn their heads less frequently. This creates more stable and clear video results. However, many of our customers use Mr Petcam on their dogs with great results!
