[@ricki388]

cant find any help with audio to soft

[@leecambell5487]

Thank goodness for this video. I can't understand the instructions. To all people laughing, how about you do a video in chinese? There's nothing funny about this, the guy speaks clearly and you can understand everything, which is more than I can say for most people with English as their first language. Thank you Bang good.

[@BanggoodTV]

Thank you for your support!!

[@PhilMace]

Totally agree with this comment. it is the first clear tutorial, but I would like to know if standby option is still available as mine does not seem available. either way Thaks for the tutorial

[@man_ofthe_year6568]

Yup his English is definitely better than my chinese.

[@Cloudlin123321]

I''m sure people laughing at this video don't even know a second language. At any rate, it was very helpful and you did a great job. Thank you

[@BanggoodTV]

Thanks for your support!!!

[@WellWisdom.]

right on the money.

[@occamstoothbrush1727]

He did a fine job! The only laughing I did was at the instructions manual, so poorly translated it was actually hilarious.

[@janspiv]

Very good video. Your English is perfect. Having an accent does not mean you cannot speak English. Each and everyone of us has an accent. Even English speakers have accent. God created us same and equal but with different accents. I love your video👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@chrisjones1992]

I'd had this camera in storage and had lost the manual. My car was recently damaged, so I want to use the camera now. Thank you for the video!

[@BanggoodTV]

😁

[@mrsirbugs]

With so many different options (which are fantastic) it is difficult to know what mode you're in. My question is: How do you shut the camera off , and know it's off and not recording? Great little camera and buy!!!

[@mromagnoli]

Well done video - this guy's English is quite good!

[@90FF1]

Just got my camera in mail. This video is a godsend. Could not have decoded the instruction as well as this video instruction. Time setting is still an unknown. Also distant past date on files created are baffling? Maybe I can figure out motion detection - some day. Pix I did get are decent for such an inexpensive and tiny camera.

[@HaBeFaStro]

Also I would highly recommend NOT charging it for the full 3 hours. Rather unplug it every 20 minutes to prevent over heating. Then plug it back in when it's cooled down enough. Then repeat the process until all charging intervals have added up to the optimal max battery.

[@donroemer6496]

The user manual is confusing with very small letters. Your video helped me a lot with the basics. Thx!

[@BanggoodTV]

(*^__^*) welcome

[@pioneervajo]

thank you for showing , I had some problems getting the tf card in. maybe it would have been nice if you explained how to change the datestamp, I found it in the manual ok, but i think some people may find this a difficult 1 to do

[@paulsteketee6883]

Easy to understand, better than the instructions that come with the camera.

[@BanggoodTV]

Thanks for your watching!

[@RedpillPortugal]

Hello people. I dont find any video showing the camera battery being charged. Can anyone tell me which lights go on? Mine keeps blinking red. Im guessing it has to do with charger amperage. 1.A

[@208BG]

Do i have a Video-out Signal at the yellow Cinch cable while charging/powering the device? Would like to send a permanent control Video-Signal from a small theaterstage to the backstage area. Therefore the camera would need permanent AC/DC power over USB. At the yellow Cinch cable there is no HD Signal, only SD , or? Which pixel resolution is at this yellow Cinch cable available? And is there a possibility to get an HDMI-Video-out-signal somehow?

[@a2briderooadventure612]

Hi, notice your camera is on all day, is it plugged into the power sorce or is the batterys like 9 hours?? Know it only recorded vea motion detection but still would have to be "on" to notice motion in the first place. Thanks

[@wandersontramp]

Nice explanation. Thank you very much

[@shawwn55]

Thanks ur english is better than expected 😊

[@BanggoodTV]

Thank you! 😃

[@photoSIMPA]

Merci... bonne explication très compréhensible...

[@paulwhite2818]

Thank you Banggood. Very helpful and clear. This camera obviously has its drawbacks being so small but I shall persevere. Have not yet been able to see any video or pictures when I connect it to my computer. Question: can I use this as a monitor - i.e., mount it and see live video on . my computer screen? Grateful for any advice.... Paul

[@HarosOfStyx]

you forgot to explain how to make sure that the pictures and videos have the proper date... and how to turn it off properly. I had issues doing that. I know that turning it on requires you to hold the on/off button, but the same thing doesn't seem to apply when trying to turn it off.

[@trondbraadland813]

Thank you for this video, I think it was Very helpfull since the userguide provided with the camera seemed to come straight from Google translate😜

[@rodpsonico]

Does the camera lens show a gray of light during recording time? If it does, then it is not recommended as a spy camera...

[@michaeldubick9922]

Please after buying it do you need to charge it or it’s been already charged and the charging system only in PC or we can change it normal ?? And how do you view the videos on MacBook?? I guess they need to upgrade it with different light for the charge of pixels...Thank you

[@BanggoodTV]

most welcome

[@dtrrtd774]

1.2 billion pixels is quite high resolution. can it resolve a license plate from outer space?

[@phuketexplorer]

It should be able to photo the entire planet system... on a foggy day in London

[@phuketexplorer]

Nasa could save fortune ordering these from Banggood!

[@dtrrtd774]

+Mr. agogohome agogohome haha

[@jgbreezer]

I think they mean million not billion pixels :) A billion pixels (not even 1.2billion) in 4:3 ratio would be something like 35000 pixels across by 26000 pixels vertically. = 1000 Megapixels. Typical DSLR single images (with expensive high-quality sensors and lenses) are only into 20-something Mpixels at current at most :) NASA won't be replacing Gaia's sensors with this anytime soon!

[@jgbreezer]

PS you'd also need lens good enough to resolve the licence plate, and a method to get rid of the atmosphere distortion.

[@30secondfail]

Thank you... because the manual really left a lot to be desired.

[@andreassonnenschein1250]

How to start the "Motion Detect Mode"? In the Manual it says, you have to hold the Mode-Button 3 Seconds to start that mode, but it looks like, it doesn't work. Or is it a mistake in the manual?

[@coffeecuppepsi]

same question, ever work it out?

[@PhilMace]

@@coffeecuppepsi I think we can safely say it does not work :( but I still love the camera

[@MrKastro65]

You are very good at explaining and thanking you

[@Unigueidea]

I thank you for the video help. However after placing camera in standby what do we do to begin video recording? Not only that but how do we stop recording??? Thanks

[@DickiSmits]

Looks Nice, I have a question, is it posible to setup that the camera will take a picture every hour? I will put the camera in an Beehive and let it take an picture every hour. I will charge the camera with Solar panel. Would be great if that works.

[@rafmartins60]

Great explanation, Banggood! I bought one a couple of years ago and it works fine, but I HATE the date on. How do I change it and how do I remove it? Thanks in advance! And greetings from Portugal!

[@BanggoodTV]

Hello, Rafael. Thank you for getting in touch. I will let you know as soon as I get the answers.

[@artlewi]

I think there is a short in the cable that came with the camera. When plugged into a USB port and the camera, the cable gets so hot the insulation is starting to melt. The computer shuts off the USN port and reports the device is taking more power than can be supplied. A cable that came with my nikon will charge the camera bu not allow it to work when plugged in.

[@derekthompson9270]

Yes I agree I could have toasted bread on top of the camera while iy was charging probably as it is too small there is no room for venting heat away from camera

[@CTROCK]

Hey when I recoding on the 1080 mode it record but no pictures or view! I only can heard my voice or any noise that the camera have recorded and pickup! Why is that no pictures or view but u can only hear sounds?

[@AlexanderKachowski]

1) Why there is nothing of that in the "Manual"? 2) From the beginning of the video above you pushed both buttons not less than 10 times. How should I know what to push and how long to do anything with it and where to get any description at least in Chinese?

[@chrissie1057]

listen carefully, he says for each mode. pause after each instruction. write what he says. you will have it in front of you.

[@raysgr]

Thanks mate, the packaged instructions may as well have been in Mandarin for the sense they made to me. Cheers. I'm also guessing from the connections on the cable I can connect directly to the PC or video player.

[@promastakreasindo9455]

Is it true that the cam only work with 16gb tf card otherwise it will problematic? Mine has 32gb tf card and when taking photo /recording video, the result is only voice no picture at all. Pls help.

[@joshuaramdial3595]

awesome camera for its size, many functions.

[@velleskins]

excellent instructions. thank you so much.

[@BanggoodTV]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@srgiogarcia5813]

Hi, thanks for the video. How I can know when you've finished loading or recharging the camera? When I start to load the purple light appears , I've been charging for 10 hours and the purple light does not disappear.

[@eddyhaaijer4334]

How to recording in a loop mode. Fore example i start the car so the sq8 becomes power of my 12v plug in the car. Than its start to recording in a loop mode? And when the sd card is full it overwrites the oldest files? am i Right? Thats wat i like. Best regards Eddy

[@kiranchinche8511]

what use of yellow RC connector ? how to continuously record ? how to stop recording many questions are unanswered,

[@AlisonSieke]

How do you record video under motion detection mode ?

[@axtronaut77]

Perfect. I am brazilian and understand everything you said.

[@BanggoodTV]

Thanks.:)

[@mohamadkorfali3284]

hello there i buy 2 pieces of sq8 but when i turned on it freez on light blue and cannot turned off and cannot use mode to switch between 720 . 1080 . And photo even after reset ... any solutions ???

[@jimmywarhammer]

Hello Banggood, just have bought and unpacked this device. During my connection to PC LED is constantly red and the whole device reached so high temperature that it became really HOT after 10 minutes of USB connection. Is it normal? Camera shots video pretty fine for its size

[@BanggoodTV]

+Jimmy War Hi Jimmy,getting hot is normal because of its small size.I advise you not to record while it is charging.Using USB to charge will be better.Hope it help. :-)

[@danciambur4857]

Nice explanation, you have a good English !

[@MsChupar]

If i use connect in my car, can record while charging at same time? All night?

[@bridgendesar]

Something completely missed is how this camera works as a car dvr. Quite simple really, supplying power via the usb automatically starts the camera recording. The confusion arises from not understanding instructions, i.e the cameras led goes off when in all recording modes, except photo.

[@SidneyCritic]

That's what I was looking for, thanks. They also missed the time/date setting.

[@anomalyjustin]

How do you set the date/time stamp embedded in the videos to the correct date/time?

[@shodanxx]

Here are a few more questions How to format the card in the camera ? What does it mean when the camera flashes 4 times when pressing power and then nothing happens ? (note I have put a known good 64gb card in it, the card can be read while it is inside the camera and the camera connected to computer via usb)

[@BanggoodTV]

We suggest you to change the TF card or send the video to [e-mail] to get more information??When we receive your e-mail, we will give you a solution after checking the problem.

[@paulbelcher2621]

I thought the camera had a max capacity of 32 GB ?

[@babbathehat2919]

Friendly chap, great movie !

[@CrazyCoupleDIY]

Can you charge and record at the same time

[@crifix.]

Thank you for the video. Is there a version of the camera with WIFI built in?

[@xStefaKO]

My father bought this camera, and when I switch the modes it's only blue and red(yes, it is the SQ8 MINI DV), there's no a mix of blue-and-red for 1080p mode...

[@BanggoodTV]

Hi could you leave your order number here？our tech collegue will contact you and help you solve the problem.

[@kingtrout3491]

can you tell me please sir how can i change date month and year on mini Dv camera i have problem with that if you can help me with that thank you

[@iraqiyoutub]

Is it able to use and charge the camera at the same time???

[@PolyMadd]

Billions of pixels, now THAT'S GOOD!

[@HarosOfStyx]

this is so much more easy to follow. If any of you actually had the instruction booklet you'd know it's complete jibberish....the grammar sounds like someone was using an early version of Jewgle translate

[@vengeful_beemoe8655]

I have attempted to charge my mini camera several times the red light flashes for 3 hours but nothing happens. I insert the TF card the camera will not turn on it appears to not be holding a charge what so ever I am going to attempt to reset and I will edit this afterwards. I have reset the camera the red light is no longer blanking on back is steady so I'm going to Assume that it is now charging. I will again edit this Comment in 3 hours to tell you if it is now holding a church. Thank you for the video on showing me how to reset this I really hope it works because I will use these for my bicycle

[@Godspine]

Thank you. This video does great help.

[@BanggoodTV]

Glad to hear it!

[@marckatzenmaier]

thank you for explenation, but how to set camera for motion detection mode?

[@Gac3la]

detection MOW 🌚

[@ozjangles]

+Marc Katzenmaier see my reply to Michael Muller

[@thebaddog4104]

Thanks for posting very informative.

[@DarkKnight00733]

Can I use it while charging ? I mean is it possible to charging and using simultaneously !???

[@diegozenizo3647]

Only if you use a 5V adapter, or a battery bank, it seems the computer/smartphone USB port takes control of the USB circuit and cannot be used for both charging AND operating the camera

[@MsChupar]

If i use connect in my car, can record while charging at same time? All night?

[@MikePrO93]

Hi thank for the video. Can i use a sd card instradamento of a tf card?

[@NauticalFish]

does it automatically start recording? if so how do you stop it?

[@Samba000007]

Do this camera have infrared feature ? And can the camera use as a webcam ?

[@BanggoodTV]

no infrared feature and cant use as webcam.

[@diegozenizo3647]

Do this camera have infrared feature ? Yes, what's they call Night Mode on the video. I don't know how to turn it off though... can the camera be used as a webcam ? Well, if you connect the USB port to a PC, there's no way to watch the video stream... But you can see the video on the yellow RCA with a monitor... so not quite a web cam, it is more useful as a portable DVR...

[@gregthomas5699]

How do you set the date? I created a text file as directed, but it has no affect.

[@BanggoodTV]

Dear customer, I suggest you follow the User's guide and try again :) Have a nice day~

[@PhilMace]

the date is on a smal text file that you can find when you connect your memory card update that and it is read by the cam

[@PrithuDeb]

When I first received the product it switched on fine. Then I charged it for 2 hours and then when I switch it on, the blue led lights up for 2 secs then turns magenta..which blinks for 4secs and then finally turns blue again for a fraction of a sec and then turns off. Any idea whats happening?

[@diegozenizo3647]

You have to insert a micro SD memory card, without it its useless...

[@PrithuDeb]

Diego Zenizo ok. Let me check and I'll let U know. Regards.

[@nilaazevedo7729]

I bought it mine doesn't come with memory card. Do you buy it separately?

[@BanggoodTV]

Sorry dear, the package does not include a memory card. Package Included: 1 X Mini Camcorder 1 X USB Cable 1 X Strut 1 X User Manual

[@davidmccormick4050]

The camera becomes very hot. There are many complaints about this issue.

[@MatthewHorbund]

Bought the camera. Nice little camera. Can you set the date? Right now it's in 2007!

[@acsmith54]

+Speed DemonFPV Sorry I can't get that to work!

[@WXCHRISKY]

Yes, just edit the text file on your TF/Mini SD card with the current date & time and save it. If you put a y after the time it timestamps your videos and an N turns it off.

[@marquezowns8182]

So when you put it in 720 or 1080p mode does it start recording in that mode?

[@BanggoodTV]

Yes,it is! :) Thanks for your comment!

[@Incal13]

[@ericjohnson4091]

my cam is not going into standby mode and not turning on. it just blinks 3 times and the light goes off. What could be wrong?

[@jpenna1976]

Three times? You must have better sample than mine. Mine blinks red only once and no other signs of life. It appears that charging can easily overheat the camera and kill it permanently.

[@magendavid22]

Thank you very much Video is very helpful

[@j-man6001]

Mine will not power on, it flashes blue red light and shuts off? Help me

[@pinakoza]

Nice vdo Sir, thank you.

[@mssdifesapersonale]

How long can it work after a charge?

[@tindrli]

Is it possible to to watch what camera is recording real time?

[@BanggoodTV]

sorry no~

[@ozjangles]

Hi, Can you clarify how the night mode vision works please? This is my understanding on how to turn it on and off ========================== Infrared mode (night mode) ========================== To Turn On: On/Off - press once Blue light (720p/standby) Press hold On/Off for 2 secs Red light flashes twice (its now on) To Turn Off: Whilst camera is turned off Press hold On/Off for 2 sec Red light flashes 3 times (its now off) However if after I turn it on, I was now expecting to be able to go to 720p mode or 1080p mode and then when I start recording on either of these it would record in green night vision via infrared. But it doesn't seem to record in "night vision". So my question is after I turn night mode on, what do I do next to record in that night mode? Thanks for your help.

[@RobertPyland]

ive been playing with my camera for a couple of months now and love it. As I understand it, night mode projects an infra red beam in front of the camera and thereby lights up the subject being filmed. The instructions above tell how to turn on the ir light but they don't explain how to turn it off. Confusing, huh?

[@RobertPyland]

ozjangles, I just read your comments below. You are way ahead of my learning curve. Thanks for posting the written directions below.

[@ihhf2566]

Can it be used as a webcam when connected to a computer using its USB cable?

[@BanggoodTV]

Yes, it can be used as a webcam.

[@ihhf2566]

Thank you for your reply. Can it record onto its TF card while being used as a webcam? Will it only record for five minutes at a time, or will it record continuously while being used as a webcam?

[@fabriceassous4697]

How?

[@ihhf2566]

The computer doesn't recognize it as a webcam when the USB is plugged in. How can we use this as a webcam?

[@markzeyen4123]

When you plug the usb cable in it will first try to set up the camera as a thumb drive, just press the On/Off button again and it will setup as a webcam. Mine uses the driver GENERAL- UVC which was found automatically by windows. want to go back to it being a usb drive just press the On/Off button again. MY problem is trying to use the camera hooked to a Floureon DVR with the supplied cable I get nothing.

[@73vraj]

Hi, I want to use this as Car DVR, can it be charge through USB charger while recording in car ?

[@BanggoodTV]

+Vishal Raj Sure! It can be charged via USB 5v output. Hope this help. :-)

[@Iggzistentialism]

Excellent video. Really helped. 谢谢

[@MsChupar]

Hi, thanks for the review! I have a couple of questions: 1) is it possible to record 24h without interruptions when it's charging over USB? 2) Does it automatically override the old footage with new one when the SD Card is full? 3) Does the IR automatically turn on when it's dark outside? Because of vandalism I'd like to install it inside my car to monitor the surroundings 24h/24h day AND night plugged into a power bank over USB. Can I do this with this cam ? Thank you!

[@zook357]

Thank you for your video.

[@derekthompson9270]

Hello: I have followed your instructions exactly but I cannot get the camera to work as you suggest its works fine with the USB Power cable attached with without it does not work. Bottom line it its a _cheap shitty camera_

[@diegozenizo3647]

It doesn't work with the mini USB cable connected to a computer, but it does work with a poder adapter or a battery. Don't forget to insert a micro SD memory card, without it it won't work

[@Chefranger]

Well sadly it never worked. I charged for for 1 hour, did not come on, then another hour still never came on and then one more hour and still never came on.

[@BanggoodTV]

[@chrissie1057]

thank you. very helpful.

[@Mrs_Explorer_IK]

I've one question how can we watch all recorded videos and photos? Share the video👍🏻

[@diegozenizo3647]

You'll have to connect the camera to a PC, and after presing the On button once, you should see a drive in Windows Explorer with two directories called VIDEO and PHOTOS, there is where the files are located

[@trevino9136]

Can i put it on a car for night vision and connect it to my screen

[@acsmith54]

Could banggood please tell me how to set the time and date. I cannot seem to get the TIMESET.txt file method to work, Thank you

[@BanggoodTV]

+acsmith54 Hi,I'd like to suggest you to try again in this way.Firstly, Create a TXT document named TIMERSET, then type the correct time in the TXT document,including year date time seconds, such as: 201604261036 , then save the document ,and move this TIMERSET documt to Mini camera TF card, then pull out the USB cable, then finishe setting the time. If this doesn't work,you could press the reset port to reset the camera. Hope it can help!:)
