User Guide for the Mobius Mini ActionCam
Description
The above picture shows the arrangement of the user operating features.
►This manual does not cover replacing the internal battery or lens.
►This manual assumes the camera is loaded with the latest firmware available at the time of writing. Functionality may vary with earlier or later firmware versions.
Cards
You should always use micro SDHC or Micro SDXC cards with a class rating of 10 or above. The cards may either be formatted as FAT32 or exFAT. Cards with a capacity of 200GB have been tested.
Important: If the firmware detects that the card is too slow (class rating too low), it will decrease the recording speed and/or resolution and the parameter value will be overwritten.
Formatting
Standard formatting tools provided by the operating system are not always reliable and should not be used. In addition, they do not optimize the SD card's performance.
For optimal card performance it is recommended to either use the Windows setup program (mSetup, see below) or use the camera's built-in formatter. Instructions for
In-Camera Formatting are outlined below.
In-Camera formatting is also available via the OSD menu.
Another excellent formatting utility is "SD Formatter" which can be downloaded from https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/index.html. This utility has been specifically designed to format SD cards.
In-Camera Formatting
The Camera contains a built-in formatter which should be used to format the SD card.
1. Disconnect the camera and ensure it is turned off.
2. Turn on the camera and wait until it is in one of the Standby modes (steady yellow, blue or red LED).
3. ► If the camera was set to auto-record, press the Shutter button to stop the recording.
4. Press and hold down the Shutter button.
DO NOT RELEASE the button.
5. Very quickly press the Mode button 4 times.
6. ► If the LEDs don't start to blink, release the buttons and start over again at 4.
7. The LEDs will blink very quickly while the card is being formatted.
8. Release the Mode and Shutter buttons once the LEDs start to blink (see above).
9. The camera will return to Standby mode when the formatting is finished.
USB connector
The Mobius Mini uses a 10 pin Mini USB connector. Although 10-pin, the connector is compatible with all standard 5-pin mini USB cables for USB data transfer and charging.
Cables
The camera requires a standard (5-pin) USB cable for charging or connecting to external battery packs for continuous recording. A standard (5-pin) USB cable is also used to connect the camera to the PC in order to set the parameters or to access the camera as an external disk.
A special 10-pin USB cable is required for A/V out (TV-Out, Video-Out).
You must under no circumstances use any other "special" cable, especially the
"special" cable supplied with the old #11 808 camera. Doing so will destroy your camera beyond repair. So, do not use a #11 "special" cable under any circumstances .
►Always use HIGH QUALITY USB cables. Cheap cables may lead to all sorts of problems. If possible, keep the cable as short as possible.
►The Mobius Mini uses the same 10-pin cable as the Mobius 2.
Before you start
Before using the camera for the first time, ensure the internal battery is fully charged.
See below under "Charging".
The Reset button
The reset button is in the small hole located below and to the right of the USB Socket
(looking at the camera from the rear). It can be pressed by carefully inserting a bent paper clip or similar instrument. The Reset button should only be pressed in case the camera no longer reacts to button presses. Pressing the Reset button will force the processor to restart. No parameter settings will be lost and the RTC (Real Time
Clock) will not be interrupted. Do not confuse the reset button with the rear LED below and to the left of the USB socket (looking at the camera from the rear).
The Power button
Press the power button until the LEDs start to blink. After a short while a steady yellow LED is shown. The camera is now ready for use (standby).

Connecting the camera to the PC
Make sure a card is inserted and the camera is turned OFF if you want to access the camera as an external device (disk drive, setup). Always connect the camera directly to the PC. Do not use a USB hub.
► You cannot record video or photos if the camera is connected to the PC as an external drive.
Charging
•
•
•
Connect one end of the supplied standard USB cable to the camera.
Connect the other end to a USB, 5V DC power source (wall charger, PC or external battery).
When the yellow LED turns on, press the Power button for about two seconds to turn the camera OFF.
When charging, the green LED will be on. It will turn off when the battery is fully charged.
Charging takes about 2 hours for a fully discharged battery with the camera turned off and connected to an external USB Charger. Batteries are not covered under warranty. If charged with under-rated chargers or by using a USB hub without an additional power supply, expect longer charging times. For optimum results, the charging voltage should be +5V under load. Only use quality chargers capable of supplying 1000mA (1A) and a stable voltage of at least 5V. Low quality chargers may not be able to supply enough current and can lead to premature battery failure or, in the worst case, even destroy the camera.
A new and fully charged battery will record about 30 minutes of 1080p 60fps videos.
Automatic Power Off from Standby mode
If the camera is in standby mode you must take a picture(s) or start a video recording within *30 seconds. The camera will automatically turn off after *30 seconds of no activity.
*This value can be set using the setup program. Automatic Power Off can also disabled.
When the special A/V cable is connected, automatic power-off will be disabled. This prevents signal loss during fpv use when the standby time times out.
Turn on Camera
Press the Power button until the LEDs begin to blink. The camera is ready for use once the Yellow LED turns on. .
Turn off Camera
Press and hold the Power Button for about 3 seconds until the LEDs start to flash.
The camera will then turn off.

►Note: Windows XP has an integrated WebCam viewer. Your Mobius should be visible in Explorer (My Computer) as a "USB Video Device". This functionality does not exist in Windows 7.
Camera Setup (configuration and date/time setting)
There are three methods in which the camera's date and time can be set or the parameters modified: A simple text file (works on most operating systems), an external monitor (OSD), or using a dedicated program (GUI).
Whenever the firmware is updated you will need to set the parameters as well as the date and time. These are reset to their default values whenever the firmware is updated. In addition, the date and time will need to be set whenever the battery becomes discharged or is disconnected.
1. GUI (Graphical User Interface) configuration - recommended method
On Windows it is recommended to always use the program mSetup.exe to modify the camera's configuration or format the SD card. mSetup communicates directly with the camera and makes configuring the camera a very simple task.
The camera must be in Webcam mode in order to set the parameters by software .
See Webcam Mode, above.
2. Manual configuration using an external monitor
It is also possible to manually change the configuration settings by using the On
Screen Display (OSD) by connecting the camera to an external Monitor/TV. This requires a special cable.
1. Disconnect the camera from the PC and turn it off.
2. Connect the camera to an external monitor/TV using the special cable.
3. Optional. You may also connect the USB plug to a power source. The camera will automatically turn on.
4. Turn on the camera by pressing the Power button until the LEDs begin to blink.
5. Long-press the Shutter button to enter OSD Menu Mode.
6. Briefly press the Shutter button to switch between Recording settings and
Basic settings. Ensure that no parameters are highlighted.
7. Briefly press the Mode button to move down the list or the Power button to move up the list.
8. Briefly press the Shutter button to change a parameter value.
9. Use the Mode button or the Power button to move down or up the list (see above).
10. Briefly press the Shutter button to select the value.
11. Long-press the Shutter button to exit OSD Menu Mode and return to Standby
Mode.
► The meaning of the different buttons are shown on the OSD. Up, Down, Enter
► In order to switch between Recording settings and Basic settings make sure no parameters are selected. Use the appropriate buttons to move the selection up or down to the top or the bottom of the list.
► Also see OSD (On Screen Display) Menu, below.
3. Manual configuration using a text file
With firmware version 0.80 and above the parameters can be set by using a text file. This makes it possible to set the parameters using virtually any computer system. Previous firmware versions did not support this functionality. The text file must be named "SysCfgMini.txt" and must be located in the card's root folder.
You may use any ASCII editor, for example Notepad, to modify the parameters.
The "SysCfgMini.txt" must be in plain ASCII, it must not be in Unicode. If you don't know what a root folder is, or you don't know what ASCII is or don't know how to manually edit ASCII files please use mSetup.exe or the method using an external monitor outlined above.
A "SysCfgMini.txt" first needs to be created by the camera. The camera's parameters are self explanatory, but be aware that the camera will not perform as expected or may even freeze if invalid values are set. It is much safer and easier to use one of the setup programs which will always configure the camera correctly.
The "SysCfgMini.txt" file can be automatically created as follows:
1. Disconnect the camera from the PC and turn it off.
2. Make sure a card is inserted. The card must be correctly formatted, and not full.
3. Press and Hold Down the Mode button.
DO NOT RELEASE the button until step 7.
4. Press and Hold Down the Power button. The LEDs will start to blink.
5. After a few seconds there will be a steady yellow LED.
6. Wait about 2 seconds to be sure no other LEDs blink.
7. Release the Mode button and then the Power button. If you release the
Mode button after the Power button the firmware will switch to Mode 2 (blue
LED) because it thinks you have pressed the Mode button.
There should now be a "SysCfgMini.txt" file containing the camera's current settings in the card's root folder. This file can be edited as explained above.
Don't forget to save the file before "safely removing" the camera. The camera can now be disconnected from the computer.
Use the exact same sequence as outlined in steps 1 through 7 above to load the new settings back into the camera. Once the "SysCfgMini.txt" has been correctly loaded by the firmware it will be automatically deleted from the card's root folder.
►On rare occasions you may wish to keep the original configuration file in order to set the camera's parameters to specific values. In this case you should use the operating system to set the file's attribute to "Read-Only". You may then use different cards containing different parameter settings.
Using Software to configure the camera
The Windows program mSetup.exe will automatically configure the camera with the parameters you require (see above). It will also accurately set the camera's date and time or allow you to format the SD card. Detailed instructions can be found in the program by clicking the "Help" button. The camera must be in Webcam mode in order to set the parameters

WAIT
The firmware will be updated when the LEDs stop flashing.
The firmware file will have been automatically deleted.
The camera is now ready for use.
►After updating the firmware the date and time and all parameters will be reset to their default values.
Recording using an external power supply
With the Mobius Mini, it is possible to charge the battery and record at the same time using a standard external USB 5V DC power supply. The power supply may be mains driven (normal household wall plug), or run off batteries, including the car charger USB plug (optional accessory) and cable supplied with the camera.
External USB power supplies usually only use the +5V and the - (Ground) wires. The
2 data wires are normally not used. However, some USB power supplies designed for a specific USB device may use different wiring schemes and thus may not work with this camera. To avoid possible problems, always use a generic power supply.
For recording video or taking pictures using a standard external power supply connection, the USB power supply can be connected at any time, i.e. before the camera is turned on, before the recording is started, or after the recording has been started.
►Only use a quality chargers capable of supplying 1000mA (1A) and a stable voltage of at least 5V. Low quality chargers may not be able to supply enough current and can lead to premature battery failure or, in the worst case, even destroy the camera.
Additional information
The following functions/parameters need additional explanation:
Turn Audio on/off
With the camera turned on and in one of the two video Standby modes (steady yellow or blue LED), or while recording, rapidly press the Mode button 2 times. This will toggle the sound on or off.
If the sound has been toggled to off, the red LED will be shown together with the yellow or blue LED to indicate the sound will not be recorded.
► Beware - The toggle will remain active even after the camera is turned off.
Loop Recording
Loop recording can be enabled or disabled by software or by using the camera's
OSD menu.
By default, Loop Recording is disabled meaning the camera will record clips until the card is full. The camera will then stop recording and enter standby mode.
If Loop Recording is enabled, the oldest clips will be overwritten when the card is full.
As such, the camera will never stop recording and only the most recent clips will be available on the card.
Motion Detection
Motion Detection only works in video modes. It does not function in Photo Mode.
When Motion Detection is enabled, the Power-Off Standby timeout setting will be ignored. The camera will, therefore, not turn off unless there is no power left to keep the camera running, the memory card is full or the camera is manually turned off.
When Motion is detected, the camera will start recording and the selected Motion
Timeout counter will be started. If no further motion is detected by the time the counter runs out the camera will save the recording and return to standby mode where it will wait for new motion detection.
If motion is detected while recording the timeout counter will be reset to the selected timeout.
The camera will continue recording until no more motion is detected and the timeout counter runs out or the 4GB file size limit is reached, or the memory card is full.
When the 4GB file size limit is reached the current recording will be saved and a new one will be started. There will be a 3 second gap between clips.
File Protection (write protect) while recording
The current clip can be Write Protected by briefly pressing (max. 1 second) the Mode button while the camera is recording. The camera must have loop recording enabled for this function to work. This will set the file's read-only attribute which will prevent the current recording from being deleted. The video clip will be moved to the SDs
'LOCKED' folder.
Note that formatting the card will delete all the files, including the protected files with the read-attribute set.
AE Lock (Auto Exposure Lock) / AWB Lock (Auto White Balance
Lock)
AE Lock (AEL) and AWB Lock (AWBL) are advanced functions first implemented in firmware version v0.53 and above. Their functionality is disabled by default.
AEL and/or AWBL functionality must be explicitly enabled in the settings
parameters. AWBL functionality requires the White Balance parameter to be set to
'Auto'.
AE/AWB can be locked while the camera is either in standby mode or recording mode.
To turn on AEL/AWBL point the camera at the object you want to correctly exposure and then set the lock as follows:
•
•
If the camera is in Standby mode or recording, briefly press the Power button until an additional LED (yellow or blue, depending on which mode the camera is in) turns on. This indicates that AEL and/or AWBL is turned on.
If the camera is in Standby mode or recording, briefly press the Power button until the additional LED (yellow or blue, depending on which mode the camera is in) turns off. This indicates that AEL and/or AWBL has been turned off.
•
•
AEL/AWBL will remain turned on until they are manually turned off, another
Mode is selected, or the camera is turned off.
An additional icon will be displayed on the external monitor if connected and
OSD is turned on.
TV Video-Out Full Screen
The Video-Out format parameter can be set to 'Normal' 16:9 or 'Full Screen'. If set to
'Normal', the Video-Out image will be shown in its native 16:9 ratio. Most monitors will show black bars top and bottom.
If set to 'Full Screen', the Video-Out image will be shown zoomed with the sides cropped from 16:9 to 4:3.
How the image actually appears on the monitor will also depend on how the monitor handles the video signal.
This parameter may also be set (and saved) during Video-Out preview as follows:
•
•
Make sure the image is visible on the monitor.
Double-click the Power button to toggle the output between 'normal' and 'full screen'
