Saving Pictures
After AMCAP is running, take a ‘snapshot’ by pressing the Start / Snapshot button on the
CobraCam USB2. The snapshot will appear in a Snapshot Reader window. To save the snap-
shot, click on the File (F) tab, then click Save. The File Save Dialog window opens. Choose
a location to save the snapshot. Give a name to the file (the software defaults to ‘Image’).
Choose to save the file in Bitmap (bmp) or JPEG (jpg) format. Click Save.
Saving Video
Start AMCAP. Click the File tab, select Set Capture File and the Set Capture File window will
open. Choose a location to save the video. Give a name to the file. Be sure to put ‘.avi’ on the
end of the name. Click Open. The Set File Size window will open. Enter a maximum file size
(Note: .avi files use about 10MB per second) Click OK. The window will close and the main
AMCAP window will be displayed. Click on the Capture tab then select Start Capture. The
Ready to Capture window will open. To start recording video, click OK. The Ready to Capture
window will close, displaying the main AMCAP window showing the video image that is being
recorded. The recording will stop when the file reaches the maximum size (or maximum time).
To stop recording video, click the Capture tab and select Stop Capture.
Note: Video files can be very large. To reduce the size of the file, capture it a low frame rates
and low resolution.
Viewing Snapshots and Video
AMCAP does not contain viewers for the saved snapshots or video. Windows contains various
‘viewers’ and ‘players’ for these files. To view or play the files, find them in the locations that
they were saved to, then click on them to open them with a Windows viewer or player. The
snapshots can usually be viewed in Windows Explorer, and the video can usually be viewed
in Windows Media Player.
