how do i get my video cam to work

install a Micro SD card in the slot on the right side. (contact points will face toward the face of the clock and push in until the spring-load catches). It will take up to 32gb in size. Plug it in to power. I am using my Kindle adapter and the supplied usb cord. Switch the clock's power to ON position. Use remote control to also Power On, then select the motion-detect button on the remote and click it. You should get 3 blinks of the blue light, then it turns off. It is in stand by mode and will start recording 3 minute segments when it detects movement. You will get a red light solidly on with the blue light solidly on when the card is full. At this point, plug into your PC USB slot and it will mount as an external device. The videos are in a DCIM folder. I was not able to get it to erase the card on my Mac but it will on my PC and the software it came with is hopelessly out of date and doesn't recognize the driver. I am getting fairly good quality images and it even records in the dark. It is a decent device for the price. The battery is useless so I just keep it plugged in all of the time. I broke off the little swing door thing.

If your remote doesn't function, as was the case for mine, you will never get it to work. This is one of the worst products ever made. Amazon needs to drop this company.

I don't know. Mine doesn't work either, and I don't have the time or inclination to figure it out. The clock works. The camera doesn't. Pretty much a wasted purchase.

Make sure its fully charged. I only figures this out after testing it out and seeing very short videos of the test. I know there has been some complaints of malfunctioning, but mine works fine.

Not on my PC w/ Windows 7. I've tried to find drivers and so far no luck on that, or on getting the camera to function. Still trying to get it to operate, however.

you would have to find driver software, I bought this camera for my Windows 7 machine which automatically finds and downloads the appropriate drivers because this unit does not come with any software, I would Google it first to find out you can find appropriate software.

1. Turn both camera and monitor on 2. Click menu, then select the 3rd icon 3. Then select cam1 and hit the pair button under the camera before the timer expires I called Tech Support and they were very helpful!!!

I used my video recording app. It's not an app specific device so anything that takes video will work with it.

I have XP on my computer and the web cam works fine. Try using a different USB port I did have to switch mine around when I first hooked it up

I realize this was posted several month ago. My flip camcorder (same model) stopped responding at the same time yours did. The last video it recorded was on April 26th. I tried what LFJ suggested, but it did not work. I tried plugging the camcera into the USB port today (6/28/11) and, suddenly, it works again. Felt like Christmas. So if you have given up, ...give it one last shot and see if it works. Not sure if I can trust it, though.... Maybe it needed an update (which it did). Good luck.

I'm not sure I never got mine to work. Wish I was more help. the camera may be ok but they sent it with third party software that didn't work. I googled for an answer and found lots of issues with the same problem and other people. I downloaded it from the mfg site and installed it. Still didn't work and after investigation it is a cloud type software that I felt was a security risk. I would buy from a reputable company.

For me, the easiest way to do it is by inserting the memory card directly to my computer. You should also be able to connect it via USB port, just be sure to check the cam´s USB connection settings and drivers.

I just received and plugged this in. I'm running Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS. VLC worked for me after picking /dev/video1 as the capture device (/dev/video0 was the integrated webcam on the laptop). I also installed and ran the program called "cheese". It allowed me to capture pics and record video, although the video was very wavy as I moved the camera around. VLC had a wavy effect as well, but it wasn't as pronounced.

Hi!How do you have your cam connected?..as in are you doing it through hdmi, component etc?

You MUST have an SD memory card installed, not bigger than 32 Geg. Press "Menu", then either "Vol" button until you see "Video Player", press and hold Both Vol up and Vol Down, 3 seconds. Should get a second menu, scroll to "DV" press "OK". you will see what the camera is looking at for 10 sec., then it goes into record (blue dot in upper right corner). Hope that helps. Jack

Hi Dianne, You need internet connection for the camera (WVC80N) to work. Thanks, Linksys Support http://support.linksys.com

Try plugging cable into your camera's flash unit while the flash unit it also turned on, and see if indicator light then comes on.
