Spy camera: setting the time Solved

Question

Hello,  I bought a spy camera keychain, but despite the manufacturer's instructions, I cannot set it to the correct time. Does anyone have a solution?

To change the time on a pen camera:
Connect the pen camera to a USB port. It will then show a letter (I:), for example.
Create a text file with Notepad. Name it: time.txt .
Then on the first line of the file write: 2013.01.13 08.00.00 Y
The Y (yes) allows the date to be displayed. If you do not want it to appear, write N (No). Year.month.day hour.minutes.seconds.
Update it, of course, according to the moment you want to set the time, with about 2 to 3 minutes ahead. (approximate time corresponding to disconnecting and starting the camera).
Save the file. Close.
Copy this file to the root of the "removable disk". (I:), just under the DCIM directory for example. Note that it will disappear afterwards.
Close everything.
Disconnect the USB port.
Turn on your pen camera, standby position. The clock starts at the precise moment when you begin recording (that's why I give an advance of two to three minutes to my time.txt file), and the date-time group will be displayed at the bottom right of the image you are recording.
Check and you’re good to go. Afterwards, the internal clock remains quite accurate.
The dates and times will be modified if the battery is completely drained.
This is the procedure I use. And it works.

Hi Floria2500

Have you resolved your issue with setting the date and time on your spy pen?
If not,
Plug your pen into the USB port of your computer.
Download the WriteTime.exe program
http://www.ruedesespions.com/docs/WriteTime.exe
Run the WriteTime.exe program
Click the left button and close the program.

The date and time on your spy pen have been synchronized with the date and time on your PC.

Hello everyone, I had the solution but I don't quite remember it, anyway it involved creating a text file, I don't quite remember the title to give it, then writing the date and time but I also don't remember the format and layout to use. Sorry, I'll try to see what it gives and I'll keep you updated.

for your information, the file writetime.exe downloaded from ruedesespions.com contains the Trojan TR/PSW.QQpass.yjb (detected by Avira).

Apparently, it's a keylogger...

Does anyone have another solution to change the date and time???

I struggled a bit, but I managed with glasses that have SD and only 2MB of internal memory.
I removed the SD card, plugged in the pair of glasses.
Then go to: http://www.diganet.net/downloads.html, download getsystime.exe by clicking on DigaSpy Sunglasses models #1333504G and #1333508G time Software update file.
Launch getsystime and click on get time. It seems to bug when disconnecting your glasses, but on the second try, it worked.

Attention, there is a Trojan horse in the WriteTime program.

Good evening I also use these glasses, but I find that the image really shakes a lot. Is there any way to change the small integrated program to improve this? Thank you

Hello everyone, can you tell me how to set the time and date
because no matter what I do, it doesn't work, I have a userconfig file and a set date saved on the pen, but whatever I do, it doesn't take effect.

DIrax · Answer

You need to open the text file located at the root of the SD card, apparently it can have various names (mine is called TAG.txt), you connect your USB, open the folder of your SD card, then the txt file and you stupidly modify the time, I do it regularly on mine, no problem (it looks more or less like this: http://www.boulevard-du-discount.com/camera-espion/11-stylo-camera-espion.html).
I don't know why you are talking about software or anything, I imagine that these Chinese gadgets are all the same (at least electronically speaking), the only issue is if you make a mistake and put an extra space or too few on the date, then it won't be cool.

Hello, I bought my spy camera watch from Cyber Express; they provide the software for setting the time (timestamping photos and videos) directly on the memory of the spy watch. Otherwise, the manual modification of the time setting file is described in the paper manual (the user manual for the spy camera watch is also in PDF format on the watch's memory).
You can ask them; they sent it to me by email:

Hello everyone.

For my part, jeanlou10120's method works.
Remember to format the SD card beforehand.
And respect the spaces and dots for the date and time.
Once the file is installed, unplug the USB cable,
then turn on the camera.
Press right for 1 second, then left for 4 seconds to activate automatic mode (it should blink 6 times), and then turn it off by pressing right once.

Plug the camera back in and check the videos; the time is there.
