  • Copy and paste image 1 into the jpeg folder
  • Insert SD card into PVM10CAM whilst it is powered, it will then upload the image (if the SD card is recognised then the blue LED will flash.
  • The logo should appear after approx 10 secs of no video motion, then remove SD card (no need to down power).
  • To disable the flashing, on screen warning when motion is active (which is only available in Landscape mode), use the PVM10CAM IR remote and click the following:
