Charging Muvi Cameras: A Quick Guide To Powering Up

The Veho Muvi camera is a compact, high-resolution camcorder that can be charged and record simultaneously using a USB cable. The camera comes with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that can be charged through any micro USB input. The battery life varies depending on the model, with some models offering up to 15 hours of continuous recording. The Muvi camera can also be charged using a USB mains charger or a USB car charger.

Using a USB cable with your PC or Mac

Charging your Muvi camera using a USB cable with your PC or Mac is simple. First, connect the USB cable to your camera. The port for this cable is usually located on the side or bottom of the camera. Once connected, plug the other end of the USB cable into an available USB port on your PC or Mac.

Your computer should then recognise the camera as an external storage device. Depending on your settings, you may get a notification on your computer asking how you would like to proceed. Select the option to charge the device.

You can also use this connection to transfer files between your camera and your computer. Simply open the relevant folder on your Muvi camera and drag and drop the files to the desired location on your PC or Mac.

It is important to note that the Muvi camera cannot record while connected to a computer for charging. If you wish to record while charging, you will need to use a USB power source such as a power bank or USB wall plug.

Using a mains charger

To charge your Muvi camera using a mains charger, you will need a USB charge and record cable. This cable is compatible with the K-Series, Muvi HD, Muvi, and Muvi Pro.

The cable will allow you to charge your camera and record at the same time. It works well with a USB mains charger or a USB car charger.

To charge your camera, simply connect the USB cable to a power source and plug the other end into your camera. The power source can be any standard USB port, USB wall plug, USB car charger, or Veho Pebble Portable battery charger.

Make sure you are using the correct cable for your Muvi model. The Muvi Micro HDZ Pro, for example, comes with a USB-A to micro-USB cable.

Once your camera is connected to a power source, it should start charging automatically. You can verify that your camera is charging by looking at the LED indicator. A steady red light indicates that the camera is charging, while a steady blue light means that it is fully charged.

It is important to note that the charging time may vary depending on the battery capacity of your Muvi camera and the power output of the charger you are using. Always use a compatible charger and cable to ensure safe and efficient charging.

Using a USB car charger

Charging your MUVI camera in your car is simple. All you need is the right USB cable and a USB car charger.

The Veho VCC-A097-USB Charge and Record USB Cable is compatible with the MUVI HD, MUVI Micro, and MUVI Micro Pro (but not the MUVI Atom). This cable is 5m long and is designed to allow your MUVI to charge and record at the same time.

To charge your MUVI camera in your car, simply plug one end of the USB cable into your camera and the other end into your USB car charger. The USB car charger will then need to be plugged into your car's charging port, which is often used for cigarette lighters. Once plugged in, your MUVI camera should begin charging immediately.

It is important to note that not all USB cables are compatible with the MUVI camera for charging and recording simultaneously. The standard USB cable that comes with the camera will not allow you to do this, as it will put the camera into 'download' mode. Therefore, it is recommended to use the Veho VCC-A097-USB cable or a similar alternative.

By using a USB car charger, you can ensure your MUVI camera is charged and ready to go whenever you need it, making it a convenient option for those who are always on the move.
