How do I set the Time and Date watermark on my iSpyG camera? (DVR176144)
To watermark the date and time on your every video and photo, follow the steps below:
- After your first recording the camera unit will have created a time.txt in the root of your memory card. This file will have the follow formatted date/time:
2017-12-25 15:11:22
YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS (Note: Time is in military format)
- Adjust the date and time accordingly. Then, save the as the same name file name “time.txt” in the same folder location you found it on your memory card.
- Follow the video or photo procedures above to take a video or photo all videos and photos going forward will have the updated time and date watermarked on them
- Keep in mind, two very important points. To retain the Date/Time you need to keep the unit’s power switch On. Additionally each time you check the video or photo footage you will need to DELETE the newly created time.txt file (this file has the old default time) to avoid overwriting the internally saved Date/Time file of your camera device.
