UPDATED REVIEW 9/16/24
So far I have used this three times, once was a SAR K9 training mission. The video quality is OUTSTANDING for such an inexpensive body cam. The audio quality is clear, and records conversations without any issues.
Accessing video from the memory card is a breeze. I then can edit with free video editing software. I have dropped this MULTIPLE times in grass, hard floors and asphalt… and it keeps on working. No complaints thus far!
ORIGINAL REVIEW:
Body Cam purchased for K9 training and SAR crime scene preservation. I am a K9 SAR Handler in training. A Body Cam is not considered regular accessory gear for SAR, but I thought it could only help and assistant on my missions.
I have only used this four times for a mean average of 18 hours during a County Fall Festival event where our C.E.R.T. booth was providing PR info and CPR training with the pubic.
It took a few hours for the first initial charge with the included USB cable, and it was ready to go!
In my application I attached the Tension Clip to the camera. This Clip actually clips on to the Body Cam, I wish it was attached with a screw… but the clip did NOT fail during the four day trial period.
Once familiarized with the buttons and menus it is a breeze to operate.
Camera is 1080p/30 fps with video very clear and no issue with audio. I believe the Still Pic shots are 40mp.
First day out I ran camera constantly for about 6 or more hours at 1080p without any issues. Videos are up to 20 min segment files that run continuously in preview mode. Each segment is a Dated and Time Stamped File for easy access.
I have NOT downloaded images and videos to PC yet. I WILL ATTACH ACTUAL VIDEOS AND STILL PICS ASAP! But from the tiny color LCD screen they look and sound great!
The camera was dropped from twice from 2-3 feet accidentally and retrieved without incident. Camera was still recording and functioning properly. I accidentally knocked it off my chest rig twice with Body Cam falling down on to the asphalt street.
Good to note that this Body Cam is not waterproof, nor resistant. Both the Memory Card and USB Charge Ports are NOT protected with a rubber seal or plug. So keep this in mind depending on your uses and activities.
FOR NOW, I am giving the unit high praise!
BUT we all know what cheap imported electronic devices usually do in short time… yup they Crap out.
I am very good with updating my reviews if failures or shortcomings are presented.
