Thumbsup! Mini DV Camera

I bought this little camera for security monitoring. When I first received it, I plugged it into my computer UBS socket in order to charge it. I inserted an 8 gb micro card (runs for about 24 Hrs) and it worked like a charm. Very good resolution. The instructions are written in Chinglish, but decipherable. I found that the operating light was on all the time, so I stuck a little electrical tape over it, and voilà, it was good to go. Great value, can’t be more pleased. I would certainly recommend this to a friend. I have given it 5 stars, because I can't fault it.

Arrived with a fault. Although the packaging was secure, and arrived on time, a tiny screw was missing from the four that would secure the two halves of the casing. This, alone, would not have affected the performance. The camera was completely out of focus, and unusable. No reflection on the seller, the camera was in a plastic sealed packet, and it would not be possible to know the working condition without breaking it open. The seller would get five stars, but the product, which was beyond his/her control, none.Unfortunate for the manufacturer, as this must have slipped through quality control.

It doesnt seem to have the correct info in the manual, but works ok.(the resolution is higher than stated in the manual, and the LEDs seem to change colour randomly, not quite as specified)nice quality stills, and nice clear video as well.i have this mounted to my RC helicopter for taking aerial video, seems to be pretty good for the price.It doesn't like dark conditions very much, but is better than a lot of mobile phone cameras.Setting the time seems to be a problem on a lot of these little cameras, but this one comes with a program on the CD that writes the time to the device from your PC.also comes with an impressive amount of bits to fix it to things.

very well priced but no zoom and when filming in environments with not much light or in the evening the quality of the image is poor. Bare in mind that you need to order a memory card to make it work (it doesn't come with it !) and you can only insert up to a 16 gb mem. c.

I bought this for my husband's birthday and at first he was disappointed because we couldn't make it work but that was because we used an 8gb sd card. As soon as we tried the 2gb it worked a treat. The company which supplied the item were extremely helpful and gave us lots of support and advice.

no cd with it to change date stamp. cannot tell what mode you are in. pretty useless to use.

very pleased with this camera,,,,i use it for constant monitoring, swich on ..press the voice activation and plug in to a usb charger ,,with a 10gb micro card this will monitor for 24 to 36 hours depending on noise activityi have this peeping through a small hole drilled in a steel container,,,and have no problems with the weathermake sure you are buying a genuine Thumbs up model as their are cheaper versions on the market

I cant believe such a small camera works so well, but it does. Very easy to use.The only let down is that a light flashes when recording. Other than that it works exactly as description.
