NOTE:
The DroneView camera’s maximum video length is 5 minutes. If video
is recorded for longer than 5 minutes the DroneView camera will automatically
close the video file and start a new file. There may be a short loss of video footage
during this switch to a new file. The DroneView will continue to create new video
files every 5 minutes of continuous recording until the memory card becomes
full or the battery is disconnected or the battery voltage drops below the abilty
for the camera to operate. Corrupt or missing files may result in video recording
being stopped in this way. When the battery voltage is low indicated by flashing
LEDs the camera will stop recording and save the video file. Videos and pictures
cannot be taken until the battery is recharged.
6. After you have retrieved your files from the memory card (copy the files you
wish to keep to a safe location) you can delete the files on the memory card.
The DroneView camera will create the sub folders it needs if they are deleted
from the card.
