  1. two questions. can remove the word “video” and also the time stamp on the video? how do we do it?

    2. how do i configure the settings so that the camera will point to an exact same position every time?

    1. Hi.
      1. You need to connect the memory card to your computer and then delete the video on your computer.

      2. In Device config > PTZ Config, open Powerboot and set Poweroffstate

  2. Hello,
    I just started using xmeye.net to view videos from my PTZ Security Camera Outdoor, DEFEWAY 5MP Wireless. I’m able to view and play the video. It also looks like I can download the file, both h264 and AVI but the file never shows up on the directory I specified. Please assist.

    1. Hi,It is possible that you are not saving successfully.
      To change the save file location, you need to click ‘Apply’ to save the settings.
