Product Manual

Can I replace the battery?

No, the COUNTcam2 has a built-in customized

 

lithium battery. 

How do I know if my equipment is charged?

The COUNTcam2 and Booster Pack have a green

 

charging indicator that illuminates when charging,

 

and will turn off when the batteries are fully

charged.

How long does the COUNTcam2 record?

The COUNTcam2 internal battery will allow you to

 

record for 50 continuous hours when fully charged.

 

With 

 

the 

 

Booster 

 

Pack, 

 

an 

 

additional 

 

50 

 

hours 

 

of

 

record time is added. The COU Booster

 

Pack 

 

can 

 

record 

 

for 

 

100 

 

continuous 

 

hours 

 

when

 

fully charged.

Can I connect to the COUNTcam2 from the

office?

No, 

 

the 

 

COUNTcam2 

 

produces 

 

 

local 

 

Wi-Fi

 

network 

 

in 

 

order 

 

to 

 

connect 

 

to 

 

nearby 

 

mobile

 

devices. The 

 

COUNTCAM 

 

wireless 

 

network 

 

is 

 

not

 

connected to the Internet. You must be in range of

 

the COUNTCAM wireless network in order to view

 

camera feed and initiate recording. Remote camera

 

viewing or control is not possible at this time.

Can I use three Booster Packs to record over

 

150 hours?

No, 

 

because 

 

of 

 

the 

 

video 

 

quality 

 

settings, 

 

the

COUNTcam2's 

 

internal 

 

storage 

 

will 

 

hold 

 

up 

 

to

 

150 

 

hours 

 

of 

 

video. 

 

If 

 

you 

 

have 

 

 

special 

 

project

that 

 

requires 

 

more 

 

than 

 

150 

 

hours 

 

of 

 

video 

 

to

be 

 

recorded 

 

at 

 

 

single 

 

time, 

 

please 

 

contact

 

SpackSolutions.com support for further 

assistance.

The live view is choppy or inconsistent, will 

my videos look this way too?

No, the live view is only for positioning the camera. 

Because the live view is transmitted through a low 

power WiFi network, there will be a slight time 

delay on the view and sometimes the view can be 

intermittent. The recorded video footage comes 

directly form the camera and will not have any lag 

or inconsistency.
