SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the need for displaying time in the format hh:mm:ss:ms on HD camcorders for outdoor video monitoring. Users express frustration over the lack of information in user manuals regarding this feature. The conversation highlights the inadequacy of customer support in addressing technical queries related to milliseconds. Suggestions for creating a dedicated Equipment category on the forum are also proposed to facilitate discussions on monitoring and testing equipment.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of HD camcorder specifications and features
  • Familiarity with video monitoring techniques
  • Basic knowledge of time display formats in video technology
  • Awareness of customer support limitations in technical equipment
NEXT STEPS
  • Research how to customize time display settings on specific HD camcorder models
  • Explore software options for overlaying time stamps on video footage
  • Investigate calibration techniques for outdoor video monitoring equipment
  • Learn about community forums focused on video equipment discussions
USEFUL FOR

Videographers, outdoor monitoring specialists, and anyone interested in enhancing the functionality of HD camcorders for precise time tracking in video recordings.

I'm surprised we don't have an Equipment category on PF. Much of working with Physics is equipment for monitoring, testing, calculating, etc. Then there's not just the equipment (hardware) but software, operation, source of supply, repair, calibration, rentals, etc. So let me throw that in the suggestion box if I may.

I need to do outdoors video monitoring and display on the screen the time of day in the format hh:mm:ss:ms

There are $149 HD camcorders on Newegg but the owner's manuals don't say squat about this issue. I can't imagine anyone answering the phone in a call center is going to even know what a millisecond is.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can proceed with this endeavor?

Thanks in advance.

We can't have every single "topic" under the sun on this forum. It would be impossible. We can only have a forum topic for something that comes up very often, and has consistently high number of participants. As of now, questions on device/detector physics are posted in either the General Physics forum, or if it related to a measurement in a particular existing areas of physics, it will be posted there.
