Marine Spec Camera - Frequently Asked Questions

No, the Marine Spec Camera must be connected to a TRU4orce video-logger in order to function. It will not work as a standalone device as it does not contain an internal power source, recording storage or the necessary electronics to function on its own.

First investigate whether this issue could be due to debris on the lens cover, damage to the lens cover or internal fogging. If it is due to debris, clean the lens with an alcohol wipe. If it is due to lens damage or fogging, please contact TRU4orce, who will ask for the camera to be returned for repair. There will be a cost involved is the lens needs replacing due to damage however if the camera is fogging due to internal moisture, this repair will be covered under warranty.

There is no native Apple Mac or Linux version of TRU4orce Analyzer however you can use a Windows emulator to successfully run the software, like Parallels or VMware Fusion. Either of these tools will allow you to run the Windows operating system as a normal “windowed” program. From there, you can install any normal Windows applications, including our software. If you do install VMware or Parallels, be sure to enable ‘Hardware Accelerated 3D Graphics’ in the settings for the virtual machine you create.

You can also use Apple’s “Bootcamp” to install Windows on a partitioned hard drive. For more information on this, please visit this page https://www.apple.com/uk/support/bootcamp/

If you can’t see your outings in TRU4orce Analyzer, they probably have not yet been imported into the TRU4orce Analyzer library.

In order to successfully import files ensure that TRU4orce Analyzer is open before you attach any USB/SD card containing recordings.

When your PC starts to struggle with playing HD videos, it is common for frames to be skipped making the viewing experience unpleasant. The solution to this is to maximize your PC’s performance by ensuring that all unnecessary software is turned off (especially anti-virus software which can use up a lot of computing power, even when its not actively scanning your PC) and if you are working on a laptop, click on the battery icon then change your power mode from “Power Saver” or “Balanced” to “High Performance”.

It depends on how you deleted the file:

  • If you only removed it from the TRU4orce Analyzer library, then the video will still exist on your PC somewhere, you just have to search for it either in Windows or by using the TRU4orce Analyzer Explore PC function.
  • If you deleted the file through TRU4orce Analyzer (a process that prompts multiple warning messages) then the video cannot be recovered.
  • If you deleted the video via Windows, it may still exist in your Recycle Bin and can be undeleted.
