The POV.1 records its videos using MPEG4, so you can use your Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Mac computer to view them.
Mac:
Plug the POV.1 into a USB port or insert the SD card into a card reader in your computer. After a simple installation of Quicktime components for MPEG-4, you'll be able to browse all of the videos, view them through Quicktime, and edit them in iMovie!
PC:
Install V.I.O.’s POV Manager software: simple, intuitive software that allows you to view, edit, and share video easily. For example:
- A ‘POV recorder‘ window shows thumbnails of videos saved on the connected POV.1, and a ‘POV Library‘ window shows thumbnails of videos stored on your hard drive.
- Drag and drop video clips from the POV Recorder to the POV Library to move them between the POV.1 and your computer, or drag onto a play area to play them back in either actual size or full screen.
- See tags on the timeline during playback, and extract clips to the ‘Storyboard‘ window to quickly edit your video.
- Use the ‘Share‘ function to email your clips and upload them to V.I.O. where they can be seen by your friends.
System requirements:
- USB 2.0 port or SD card reader
- Windows: Microsoft Windows XP or Vista and a CD-ROM drive

Customer Reviews

My beautiful wife purchased this camera for me while I was in Iraq back in 2007 to 2008. I had tried several different types of cameras which could not adapt to the extreme heat and rugged environment in Iraq. After purchasing this camera I fitted the camera to be worn on my Kevlar helmet which provided me with the perfect view of everything I scanned. The loop and tag function of the camera allowed me to record specific short clips while still allowing room on my memory card for an extended recording when needed. Despite being hit against HMMWV doors, being in the middle of a sand storm or getting completely wet during the rainy season, this camera is what you need when getting the shot that can only come once in a life time.
