Chapter 4 – How to charge SmartyCam battery
SmartyCam is supplied with a 2000mAh 3.7 Volt rechargeable lithium battery. It can be
charged using both the 7-pins right connector and the USB port highlighted in the image
below. Connect SmartyCam to an external power source.
The battery charge status is shown in any SmartyCam page. Below on the left the related
field is shown.
4.1 – Battery charging via USB
SmartyCam battery charging via USB has two possible options.
Socket charge (recommended):
• connect SmartyCam to the power supply using the cable included in the kit: it has
to be plugged in the USB port placed in the product rear;
• insert the power supply plug in the socket.
In case of PC charge via USB (not recommended): connect SmartyCam directly to the
PC on, using the cable included in the kit. It is recommended not to use an USB hub. It
is also recommended to use exclusively a 2.0 USB port.
Please do not connect SmartyCam to the PC unless having previously installed
SmartyManager software.
Warning: not all Personal computers USB ports provide enough power to charge
SmartyCam and, due to the power supply limitation of the PC, battery charging is
longer. Socket charge is then recommended.
4.2 – Battery charging via connector
SmartyCam battery can be charged also using the external power cable or the CAN cable
(included in the specific kits) connected to the rear connector of the camera.
