Saving Pictures
After AMCAP is running, take a ‘snapshot’ by pressing the Start / Snapshot button on the
CobraCam USB. The snapshot will appear in a Snapshot Reader window. To save the snap-
shot, click on the File (F) tab, then click Save. The File Save Dialog window opens. Choose
a location to save the snapshot. Give a name to the file (the software defaults to ‘Image’).
Choose to save the file in Bitmap (bmp) or JPEG (jpg) format. Click Save.
Saving Video
Start AMCAP. Click the File tab, select Set Capture File and the Set Capture File window will
open. Choose a location to save the video. Give a name to the file. Be sure to put ‘.avi’ on
the end of the name. Click Open. The Set File Size window will open. Click OK. The window
will close and the main AMCAP window will be displayed. Click on the Capture tab then
select Start Capture. The Ready to Capture window will open. To start recording video,
click OK. The Ready to Capture window will close, displaying the main AMCAP window
showing the video image that is being recorded. To stop recording video, click the Capture
tab and select Stop Capture.
Note: Video files can be very large. To reduce the size of the file, capture it a low frame
rates and low resolution.
Viewing Snapshots and Video
AMCAP does not contain viewers for the saved snapshots or video. Windows contains
various ‘viewers’ and ‘players’ for these files. To view or play the files, find them in the
locations that they were saved to, then click on them to open them with a Windows viewer
or player. The snapshots can usually be viewed in Windows Explorer, and the video can
usually be viewed in Windows Media Player.
