Playback of the video recordings
:
Playing back your recorded videos on the CF memory card is simple . Windows Media Player can handle
all video files generated by the Bullet DVR, as long as the required codec is installed on your PC . Simply
insert the PCMCIA adapter including the CF card into your laptop, or just put the CF card directly into a
CF card reader . Media Player will start playing the file automatically . It is highly recommended that you
copy the video file to your computer’s hard drive first, for faster and smoother playback .
About the required codecs
:
To playback video files encoded using Mpeg- compression, your computer needs to have the DivX
codec installed first . If you don’t already have it installed on your PC, you can find it on the included
software CD . For files encoded with Mpeg-, you’ll need to have any Mpeg-2 codec installed on your
computer, if you want Windows Media Player to be able to playback those files . If you install any software to
watch DVD movies on your PC, it will automatically install the Mpeg-2 codec .
Playback using VLC Media Player
:
Alternatively, you can install the free software VLC Media Player included on the software CD . This
program is similar to the Windows Media Player, but is free of charge and already has full support for
Mpeg-2 and Mpeg-4 DivX video files .
Software installation
:
The Bullet DVR installation software can be launched by inserting the included software CD in your
computer’s CD player, and selecting Configuration Utility from the list . Follow the on-screen
instructions for the installation procedure .
After you are done installing the software, you can start the configuration utility normally from the
Windows Start program menu, or from the program shortcut on your desktop .
Optionally, You may also install the VLC Media Player, as well as the Track Timer software for racing .
These programs are brought to you as extra tools for the Bullet DVR unit, but we do not provide any
support in case of problems . Please contact VLC or Track timer’s customer support directly for help . We
can only offer support for the Bullet DVR Configuration utility .
Using the Anti-Vibration camera mount
:
For quick and easy installation of your Bullet Camera, always use the supplied Anti-Vibration camera
mount . Follow these steps for the best results:
1. Find the best location for mounting your camera . It can be
anywhere on the vehicle, or on your helmet . Make sure the
surface is clean and there is no oil or grease residue . Apply a
piece of Velcro to the surface .
. Insert the Bullet Camera in the mount, and then fix the mount
to the Velcro base .
. Using your fingers, grab the rear end of the camera and rotate it
inside the mount, to align the image correctly . The BULLET DVR
logo on the camera marks the top of the screen, and the 2 small
dots on the mount mark the center . Align the logo with the dots
to position the camera properly . For an easier, live monitoring of
the image position, please see the optional Field Monitor .
