device into the port. If the other device does not work, the USB port may have
a malfunction. In this case, contact your system manufacturer or the
manufacturer of your USB card.
I can’t capture video footage

how much time left is available for video recording.
The remaining time is not accurate

density of the video footage. Under conditions with high contrast, such as
outdoors, the actual time available will be less than under low-contrast
conditions, such as indoors.
