@hoolagen1, I did just like the video leaving the battery connected however it (the battery) caused problems. The camera wouldn't turn off because the battery was supplying power. Then once the battery went dead the camera wouldn't go on until it was charged. Some act this way and some have reported better results. I came to the conclusion that I was better off without the battery and once disconnected it worked like a charm. Just my experience.

BOOKMAKER - hello and thanks for your help.

So you did exactly like the sures video.....except you removed the battery? did you do anything diff.since you removed the battery...

i found the same thing ,why i removed the battery too but on create camera i left the case on i used a mosfet to turn power on from usb cable and didnt have any problems mostly batteries dont go bad unless the lose a charge or not charged,i think because DJ hok up the to a digital pin the battery on your died you need to turn off the camera from a mosfet,it needs the switch removed

so if book maker would have used the digital port to turn it off , the battery would not have died?

if i have to remove the battery for reasons listed above, can i still wire the camera the way DJ Sures does in his video?

I did use a digital port (just like the video) but the command from the port would not turn off the camera because the battery was supplying power even after the signal from the digital port was received to turn it off. Just do exactly like the video and cut the battery wire.

will do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GRACIAS AMIGOS!
