چمتو کول

Follow these steps to properly set up your RunCam Hybrid 2 camera:

1. فزیکي نصب: Mount the 19mm camera module into your drone or vehicle frame. The compact design allows for direct integration into micro FPV setups.
2. د تارونو نښلول: Refer to the wiring diagram below for correct connections.
   • VCC+ (5-20V): Connect to a stable DC power source within the specified voltage لړ. Warning: Do not directly power with a 4S battery or higher, as this can cause overvoltage and damage the camera.
   • GND: د ځمکې سره وصل کړئ.
   • ویډیو: Connect to your FPV video transmitter (VTX) for analog video output.
   • TX/RX: Connect to a UART port on your flight controller for remote control functionality and firmware updates.
3. Micro SD Card Insertion: Insert a formatted Micro SD card (FAT32 format, U3 speed class recommended for 2.7K60/1080P120, U1 for other resolutions) into the designated slot. Ensure the card is inserted correctly to avoid data corruption.

عملیات

Once the camera is installed and powered, you can begin operation:

1. پاور آن: Apply power to the camera. The FPV feed should appear on your goggles or monitor.
2. د ثبت کنټرول:
   • لاسي کنټرول: Use the Power/Shutter Button on Side A of the PCB to start and stop HD recording.
   • UART Remote Control: If connected to a flight controller's UART, configure your Betaflight (or similar) settings to assign a switch on your radio to control recording start/stop.
3. د حالت بدلول: Use the Mode Switch Button on Side A to cycle through different camera modes or settings if available.
4. QR Code Parameter Settings: For advanced configuration, download the RunCam app on your smartphone. Adjust desired settings within the app, generate a QR code, and then scan this QR code with the RunCam Hybrid 2 camera. The camera will automatically apply the new settings.

ساتنه

To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your RunCam Hybrid 2 camera, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• د عینکو پاکول: Regularly clean both the HD and FPV lenses with a soft, lint-free cloth and lens cleaning solution. Avoid abrasive materials that could scratch the lenses.
• د بریښنا رسول: Always ensure the camera receives power within the specified DC 5-20V range. Incorrect voltage can cause irreversible damage.
• د SD کارت مدیریت: Periodically back up your recorded footage and format the Micro SD card to maintain optimal recording performance and prevent file corruption. Use a high-quality, recommended speed class SD card.
• فزیکي معاینه: Regularly check for any loose connections, damaged cables, or physical damage to the camera module.

د ستونزو حل کول

If you encounter issues with your RunCam Hybrid 2, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• No Power/Camera Not Turning On:
  • Check all power connections (VCC+, GND) for proper wiring and secure contact.
  • تایید کړئ چې د ننوتلو حجمtage د DC 5-20V حد کې دی.
  • Ensure no short circuits are present in the wiring.
• No FPV Video Output:
  • Check the video signal cable connection from the camera to your VTX and from the VTX to your goggles/monitor.
  • Confirm that the TV mode (NTSC/PAL) setting on the camera matches your display device. This can be adjusted via QR code settings.
  • Ensure the VTX is powered and functioning correctly.
• Recording Errors / Corrupted Files:
  • ډاډ ترلاسه کړئ چې مایکرو SD کارت FAT32 ته فارمیټ شوی.
  • Use a high-speed Micro SD card (U3 or higher for 4K/high frame rate recording).
  • Try formatting the SD card again or using a different, known-good SD card.
  • Check the SD card slot for any debris or damage.
• QR Code Settings Not Applying:
  • Ensure the QR code is clearly visible and well-lit when scanning.
  • Hold the QR code steady in front of the camera lens until the settings are confirmed.
  • Verify that you are using the official RunCam app for generating QR codes.
• UART Control Not Working:
  • Check TX/RX wiring between the camera and the flight controller.
  • Verify UART settings in your flight controller firmware (e.g., Betaflight) are correctly configured for camera control.
  • Ensure the correct protocol is selected in the flight controller software.
