Capturing FPV Camera Pictures and Videos

  There are a number of circumstances in which you may want to capture pictures or videos from the first person camera on your cleaning drone. You may want to provide a client a digital receipt of the work done, document damages that existed prior to your operation, or simply provide an overhead survey as an additional service. Either way your Lucid Cleaning drone comes equipped with a high quality camera that allows this recording capability. Your cleaning drone comes with 128 GB of internal storage allowing you to film up to 25 hours of high quality video.

 Recording Video and Taking Pictures

1.  Navigate to the home screen of the tablet on your H16 Controller.

2. Open the app "H16 Tool" with the following logo     

3. Select the option "Video Viewing"

4. If the drone is powered on (this can be done with just the right battery plugged in) you should now be seeing your first person view camera footage.

5. Looking at the bottom of the screen you will see four icons  

1. Press the first button to start and stop video recording

2. Press the second button to take a photograph

3. The third button will take you into camera settings, leave these alone as these are set by our manufacturing team and changing them may cause the camera to function improperly

4. The fourth button will minimize the recording screen and place it in the bottom corner of the screen

6. In order to record video or take pictures while flying the pilot will want to navigate to the video viewing section prior to takeoff, minimize the screen, and then open and operate QGroundControl as normal with the minimized video recording screen in the corner.

Downloading Pictures and Video From Your Drone

1. In order to download pictures and video taken from your FPV camera off of your drone you will need a laptop and a USB-C cable (the charging cable for your H16 controller is USB-C so you can use this)

2. Power on the drone (this can be done with just the right battery plugged in)

3. Connect your USB-C cable to your laptop and the USB-C connector coming out the front right side of your drone (pictured below)

5. Open your file management system on your laptop and the drone photo storage should show up separate storage drive, similar to how a USB flash drive would show up if plugged in in the same manner.
   

6. Navigate to the USB drive and open the file folder "DCIM" -> "Pictures" and the photos/videos you've taken should appear there. Copy and paste the desired content from this folder to the folder of your choice.
