Download the VZC Player

You need the VZC player to browse videos on the SD card.

1. Download the VZC player for Mac or Windows to your computer.
   
   
2. Open the VZC Player. It is not necessary to download the latest version of the player, so you can ignore the prompt to do so.

Find and play a video file

You need an SD card reader to carry out this procedure.

1. Insert the SD card into the SD card reader attached to your computer.
   (It can take a few moments for the computer to recognize and display the contents of the SD card).
2. In the VZC player, click the folder icon.
3. To find the file directory for the SD card, go to Media > normal > Date > Time. The SD card directory is organized as follows:
   
   • Folders are divided by date and time stamp for each file.
   • Each date is broken into hourly segments.
   • Each hour is broken into 10-minute intervals.
4. To locate the video, go to the date and time of the video needed. Be aware that videos use Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). If you can’t find a video, the driver may have switched the camera to privacy mode.
   • Select the date.
   • Select the hour of the day (in 24-hour format).
   • Select the video (MDT) file. (Files are split into 10 minutes segments. For example, 08:00, 08:10, and so on.)
5. Select the video file you want to view and click Open.
6. Enter the password 1972 and click OK.
7. To watch the video, click Play.
