Introduction
STING II is a wearable video/audio digital recorder capable of recording
video and audio in MPEG-2 format. Recordings are stored on Microdrive or
Compact Flash plug-in cards and can then be played back using the STING
II, downloaded from the Microdrive to a personal computer or accessed
remotely.
STING II is designed mainly for surveillance purposes by law-enforcement
and government organizations, for portable video/audio recording featuring
the highest quality available. The STING II accepts composite video input
from any video camera. It includes the ability to:
•Discreetly start and end recording sessions
•Encrypt audio/video, video only, or audio files
•Capture still images (in jpeg format)
•Trigger recording sessions based on motion detection
•Capture individual jpeg images from streaming video files
•Authenticate that recording sessions have not been edited or
tampered with, based on STING II’s automatically embedded
watermark functionality
In addition to the STING II unit, the STING II solution includes Setup
software embedded in the device, a Media Center application enabling you
to connect the STING II directly to your laptop or personal computer, and a
remote web interface that lets you view and capture images and files
remotely.

Connecting the A/V Cable
The A/V cable has two RCA-type sockets on one end, and a 3.5mm plug on
the other end, which connects to the STING II.
To connect the A/V cable to the STING II:
•Plug the 3.5mm plug into the Video In socket on the STING II. Make
sure it is plugged all the way into the center hole.
Connecting a Camera or Microphone
You can connect any video camera to the STING. If the camera operates on
5VDC, it can draw its power from the Camera Power Out socket, as long
as the current consumption does not exceed 200mA. If the camera does
not comply with these requirements, it should be powered by its own
battery.
Alternatively, you can connect an amplified microphone, or any other
device that sends out a line-level signal. An amplified button microphone is
sold separately.
Getting Started
Sting II User Guide 8
Getting Started
The STING II Digital Video Recorder allows you to record and view MPEG-2
videos. However, before you can begin working with the STING II you
should:
•Charge the battery for the first time
•Connect and configure the STING II
•Set the current date and time
•Set the configuration options in the Media Center
Charging the Battery
Before using the STING II for the first time, it is highly recommended that
you charge the battery over night. Once this initial charge has been
accomplished, you will only need to charge STING II for 4 hours each time
the battery gets low to ensure maximum battery power during operation.
The unit comes with a universal auto-switching AC/DC power supply with
an input range of 110 – 240 volts AC and an output voltage of 9 volts DC
To charge the battery:
1. Connect the power supply to the unit.
2. Plug the power supply into the electricity and charge the unit for
several hours (at least 8 hours during the initial charge).
Make sure the switch is on the Off position on the STING II.
Connecting and Configuring the STING II
STING II comes with a number of cable and connection options. Initially,
you must charge the unit (as specified above) and then set the time and
date to be used during record mode. This is done in the Setup software
application (see Time Date Stamp on page 20).
You can configure the unit’s encryption password via the STING II Media
Center (see Creating an Encryption Password).
Other settings are configured using the Setup software. The STING II
remembers the configuration settings and applies them automatically to all
recording sessions. To change the configuration settings, connect the
STING II to the Setup application.
