To view a captured photo in the main window, double-click its icon
in the Preview Pane. Note that when a picture is displayed in the
main window, the Photo Control bar
also appears below it. Use the controls on the bar to zoom in or out
on the picture or rotate it 90º in either direction. To view the next
or previous photo
, either click the right or left arrows on the control
bar or click the yellow directional arrows that appear within the main
window to the right and left of the displayed image.

To configure the RCV100 and its connected Seeker 100 to auto -
matically capture
videos and/or photos on a regular schedule, click
the tab on the toolbar. You can choose a daily, weekly or
monthly schedule, or specify a date and time or a duration (for a
video).

To disconnect the RCV100 from your computer, first close the
ScopeView application. Then click the Safely Remove Hardware and
Eject Media icon on your computer’s system tray and click on
“Eject USB Composite Device.”

WIRED OPTION

If the video that appears on your computer is “noisy” (has streaks or
flickering lines running through it), the probable cause is an electrically
noisy environment. With so many electrical and electronic devices in
use everywhere today, many environments in which the RCV100 will
commonly be used have enough electromagnetic interference to
negatively affect wireless signals.

To remedy the problem, you can override wireless operation by
“hard-wiring” the RCV100 to your Seeker 100. To do so, use the
provided cable with standard mini-RCA plugs at both ends. Both the
RCV100 and your Seeker 100 are equipped with video ports for that
purpose. On the Seeker 100, the video out port is on the bottom of the
pistol grip, opposite the DC power input jack.

When you insert a mini-RCA plug into the video out jack of a Seeker
100, or into the video in jack of an RCV100, the computer screen
showing probe video will go blank momentarily, and then resume
showing live video.
