How to Set The Date on a Spy Pen camera?

Certain versions of the Spy Pen Camera can shoot video. By default, each video contains a time stamp which displays the date and time of the recording. You can't change the time from the Spy Pen, but you can do so from any computer.
Difficulty:
Moderately Easy

Instructions

    • 1
      Connect the Spy Pen to a computer with a USB cord. The device should automatically open on the desktop and appear as a removable disk.
    • 2
      Open a new text document. You can use Notepad on Windows or TextEdit on a Mac.
    • 3
      Type in the a year followed by a month and day of the month in numeric form. For example, type "20101115" to represent November 15, 2010. Do not put spaces between the numbers.
    • 4
      Type in the time, including seconds, immediately after the date, using the 24-hour time system. For example, type "173000" to represent 5:30:00 PM. For this example, the entire entry should read "20101115173000."
    • 5
      Save the text document as "time.txt" to your desktop.
    • 6
      Drag the text document to the Spy Pen folder. The time stamp on the pen will automatically change.
    • 7
      Eject the Spy Pen and unplug it from the computer.
