To connect your Akaso camera to your PC via a USB cable, follow these steps:

• Turn on the camera without inserting an SD card.

If you are having trouble connecting your camera, try the following:

• Close the platform or app you are using.

• Reconnect the camera to your computer, trying a different USB port and/or USB cable if possible.
• Reopen your platform or app.

Please note that wireless connections are not supported for the webcam function, so a USB cable is required to connect your Akaso camera to your PC.

Choose PCCAM on your camera's display to use it as a webcam

To use your AKASO camera as a webcam, you will need to connect it to your PC via a USB cable.

Firstly, turn on the camera without the SD card inserted. Then, connect the camera to your PC using a micro USB cable. You should see two modes displayed on the camera: Mass Storage and PC Camera. Choose the PC Camera option, and it will now be used as a PC webcam.

If you don't see the display come up, try unplugging and plugging the USB cable several times, or try another USB cable.

If you are using an EK7000 model, you will see four options on the camera's screen: MSDC, PCCAM, Working, and Charging. Choose PCCAM to use the camera as a webcam.

To set up the camera in PCCAM mode, go to Setup, then General, then USB, and finally PC Camera. Then, connect the camera to your PC using a mini USB cable.

Transfer videos by choosing Mass Storage on your camera's display

To transfer videos by choosing Mass Storage on your AKASO camera, you will need to connect your camera to your PC using a USB cable. The cable provided by most sports cameras is a micro USB cable, which has a standard USB connector at one end to be plugged into your PC.

Before you connect your camera, you may need to change the camera's settings to "USB mode" using the mode button. Once you have done this, you can connect your camera to your PC.

When the camera is connected, there are a few options that may show up on the camera's display. If you see the options Mass Storage and PC Camera, choose Mass Storage to transfer your videos. If you see the options MSDC, PCCAM, Working, and Charging, choose MSDC to transfer your videos.

If you do not see these options, try unplugging and plugging the cable back in several times or try using another USB cable.

Another way to transfer videos from your AKASO camera to your PC is by using an SD card reader. You can buy an SD card reader separately and pair it with your PC to transfer the content from the memory card.

Use an SD card reader to transfer content from your camera to your PC

To transfer content from your AKASO camera to your PC using an SD card reader, follow these steps:

• Turn on your camera without the SD card inserted: This is an important first step to ensure that your camera is ready for the transfer process.
• Connect your camera to the PC via a micro USB cable: Your AKASO camera should have come with a micro USB cable. Use this cable to connect your camera to your PC.
• Select the "PC Camera" mode on your camera: On your camera, you will see two modes: "Mass Storage" and "PC Camera." Choose "PC Camera" to use your camera as a webcam. If you don't see these options, go into your camera's "Setup" or "General" settings and select "PC Camera" under the "USB" settings.
• Open the File Explorer on your PC: Once your camera is connected and in the correct mode, go to your PC and open the File Explorer. This is where you will be able to access the content on your SD card.
• Insert the SD card into the card reader: Take the SD card out of your camera and insert it into the SD card reader. Make sure the card is properly inserted into the corresponding slot on the card reader.
• Connect the card reader to your PC: With the SD card inserted, connect the USB interface of the card reader to your PC.
• Access the SD card's content: On your PC, navigate to the SD card in the File Explorer. It may appear as "SD-Card," "USB-Drive," or with a generic drive letter like "G:" or "H:". Double-click on the SD card to open it and view its contents.
• Transfer files as needed: You can now transfer files between your PC and the SD card. To move files from the SD card to your PC, select the files or folders you want to move, choose a location on your computer (such as the Desktop), and confirm the transfer. To move files from your PC to the SD card, follow a similar process: select the files or folders, choose the SD card as the destination, and confirm the transfer.
• Eject the SD card: Before removing the SD card from your computer, be sure to eject it safely. On Windows, click the ^ icon in the lower-right corner, then click the Eject option for the SD card. On a Mac, click the Eject icon to the right of the SD card's name in the Finder window.

By using an SD card reader, you can easily transfer content between your AKASO camera and your PC without the need for wireless connections or additional software. This method provides a reliable and fast way to manage your files and ensure you have enough space on your camera's memory card for new adventures.
