Micro XD camera (battery powered)

IMPORTANT NOTE: This camera does not have WiFi, so there is no app to control it !!
This is a new video from a camera I tested a few years ago, the Daniu XD camera. It's the same camera but this time it has a battery. Link to the Daniu micro camera without battery : • DANIU Micro XD FullHD ...
Note: the camera can receive a micro SD card of maximum 64GB and not 32GB as shown in the video.

Bought in 2019 w\o battery. Did the same motion tests😂 Simultaneously with this one bought with built in battery in the form of a dice. Functions and most probably electronics the same. Very good and reliable platform for the price. Main problem is heating, in cases when used continuously needs extra cooling. Sorry for english, i from Siberia

Yes, I know, all these cameras get warm, but they don't overheat. However, if you carry the camera on your body, it is a little uncomfortable.

[@RandomizedRambler]

This is a really great review. I bought 2 of these about 3 months back and forgot about them. I notice the motion detection button seems to need pressing before they start charging.

[@Meisech]

The camera will start charging as soon as it is connected to an external power source, regardless of whether a card is present or not. As soon as the camera is connected to an external power source, the blue LED lights up, which means that it is in standby mode. By long pressing the power button, the camera can be turned off, which results in faster charging.

[@Tom-ld9hp]

Downside doesn't last long enough without power source. You don't want to try and hide a cord or power bank. Waste of the small camera size.

[@Meisech]

Yes, that's what I regret too. The battery capacity is way too low.

[@KristinShorey-ii8de]

I keep mine on motion detect mode in my car. It's lasted for days, even in the hot sun. A good tip for these is to follow the manual and charge them only with a .5A phone charger block. Anything bigger gets the battery too hot, too fast and it stops charging. I put mine in the fridge before I charge them. Sounds kooky, but it helps! Heat IS the enemy of these lil' things, and they don't vent very well at all. Chill 'em or you'll kill 'em. And use the small chargers! When I don't have a fridge around, or using a power-pack I'll let them cool off...then charge them AGAIN. And sure enough, they take more of a charge once they've cooled off. Try it. You'll see what I mean. Peace!

Hello, I formated my SD card to fat32 16GB. files and folders are correctly written, but the avi video size is always 0k. Is there something wrong ?

[@Meisech]

So, if you have an SD card with a capacity of 16GB and have formatted it to FAT32, everything should work. Did the camera create the directories? If not, try writing something to the card from another medium, e.g. a computer. If necessary, try a different card. If still no video file is written to the card, then the camera has a technical problem.

[@hectorg.5240]

Excellent video. Have you conducted battery duration tests with motion detection? I assume that in continuous recording, the battery life shouldn't last very long. However, what happens during motion detection? Imagining that there isn't much action, and for example, someone passes in front of the camera only once per hour, will the battery last much longer? Thank you very much.

[@Meisech]

This is a really interesting question. Even if the camera is in standby mode, not recording at that moment, it is still active. It is impossible for me to do a test by simulating a movement every hour, I hope you understand. I think the best solution is to use a powerbank if you intend to use the camera for a longer period of time. For your information, I will present the XD WiFi next week.

[@hectorg.5240]

Thank you very much for your response. Yes, I understand perfectly that conducting such a test represents a lot of work! Perhaps the simplest way to do it is to, in the first case, observe how long the battery lasts in continuous recording until it shuts down completely. Alternatively, you could check the clip in the SD memory and determine the continuous duration that way. Let's imagine it was on for 1 hour (this is hypothetical). In a second example with motion detection, you could activate it and point it towards a location where no movement is expected, like an empty room, and leave it for a little over an hour-maybe an hour and a half or two. Then, go check it. If it's still on, we could assume that in motion detection mode, it consumes less battery. However, if it's off, the conclusion would be that the camera uses its battery regardless of whether it's recording or not. This could be useful for those who need to place the camera in a location where an external battery is not feasible and it needs to go completely unnoticed. For example, in a hotel room to see if housekeeping staff open or inspect more than they should. Perhaps the camera in motion detection mode could last around 3 or 4 hours on standby with a single recording, which would occur when the housekeeping staff come in for cleaning. I apologize for my lengthy response; I find this topic interesting. Thank you very much for your input, and I'll be looking forward to the review of the Wi-Fi camera. Regards.@@Meisech

[@Meisech]

@@hectorg.5240 I also use this procedure to determine recording duration. The duration of continuous recording is 60 minutes. But if you don't record anything using just the motion detection feature, then you can't tell when the camera has stopped. At this time, you should observe when the LED goes out to be able to tell how long the camera has been active in motion detection mode.

Would be helpful when it is recording that the light would be on like a green light no light comes on you kind of wonder what's going on is it recording or not?

Once the recording process has started, no LED lights up anymore. This is the case with most of these cameras. This is unfortunately a regrettable situation.

[@Tigerpanzer6666]

do you know of a way to make the camera be able to record while connected to a phone

[@Meisech]

Yes, you can connect the camera to a smartphone and even record. As I only have an Android smartphone, I can only give you the solution for this OS. 1) You need to connect the camera using a USB OTG cable or OTG plug. 2) Download the 'USB camera Pro' app and install it on your smartphone. To be able to connect the camera, you must have USB rights on your smartphone. Please do a search how to unlock Developer option? FYI: the camera uses the 'General UVC' driver.

I want to try to use this camera as a pinhole camera. I was thinking of building a small house for the camera/or inside the wall and place it next to my motorcycle. I don't want anyone to see the camera because I want to get there in time and catch any thieves red-handed. The police are so slow where I live (in rural Norway), so I prefer to rush home myself or possibly call a neighbor. I just wondered about one detail before I order the camera. It has night vision (IR). Where is the light sensor that activates the night vision? Since I'm going to build it into a small house, only the lens is exposed to the light. Will the night vision activate if the rest of the camera is in darkness? And thanks for the nice review!

[@Meisech]

This is what it says in the manual : 'The intelligent IR-CUT function can automatically activate/deactivate the night vision upon the ambient environment change'. If you want to use it in normal condition I think there should already be a minimal light source, e.g. a street lamp. I made an attempt by sticking tape over both LEDs. In almost complete darkness, the camera is blind and only records a black background. The IR-CUT filter can only work if the IR LEDs are working. Also, keep in mind that an external power source is required if you want to operate the camera the whole night.

[@aecsummer]

I bought one of these and trying to set up as a wildlife cam for my garbage cans. Problem is when I set on motion detection, it flashes the red and then will record a 2 min video if I wave my hand in front. If I wait 2-4 min after that and wave my hand again no recording happens. Seems like the camera is turning itself off after recording the first clip. Do I have to turn loop recording on for it to stay in standby and keep recording clips from motion? Needs to say in standby and record from motion for hours on end to catch the animals. Suggestions?

[@Tom-ld9hp]

It will last you about 20 minutes outside without a power source. Nice size to hide but the power cord or power bank has to be hidden too. Defeats the purpose of the mini size.

[@molliggemandarijn]

What am i doing wrong with mine. I put it in my living to test the motion setting. When i hold motion button and press it, it only records for 2 minutes. In te first 10 sec i left the room and saw that on tape. When i re-entered my living after 5 mins the camera didnt get me walking by (got as close as 50cm walking by) yet it didnt re-enter recording for another 2 minutes. I tried several rooms and spots. It just does not pick up motion and goes into standby mode after 2 mins and just turns off after. I could record another 2 mins when i re-do these steps. So it couldnt be my battery. However the SD card gets quite warm after these few mins. And at my final few tries instead of having to press the motion button only ones i have to press it twice to blink red and start its one time recording again.

[@molliggemandarijn]

oh and btw i never have a LED popup blue when i recharge it. No lights go on, would it be broken or do you spot my mistake maybe.

[@Meisech]

@@molliggemandarijn I did some tests with my camera and everything seems to work correctly. When movement is detected, the camera records a 2-minute sequence each time. If new movement is detected during these 2 minutes of recording, it will continue recording. The change in light can be a trigger for recording. The position of the camera must be well chosen with respect to the ambient light so that the camera can detect movement. And finally yes, the camera heats up a little, but this is not really a problem. Regarding the LED: a blue LED lights up when you put the camera on charge. After a few seconds, in addition to the blue LED, a red LED flashes indicating charging.

[@molliggemandarijn]

@@Meisech Thanks for your response. It seems i might be the unlucky one. Cant really explain it myself but since there is no led when charging i guess its just broken. Im considering to re-order one now but i also disliked the NV on it switching mid film. Im not that smart when it comes to the inside but i wondered: Could i possibly disable the night vision by for example carefully removing the 2 front bulbs that the camera is in between? Or would this create defect in total. Im sorry for asking alot, i understand you are not the product owner. But i dont speak chinese and theres not much out there about the XD with battery.

@@molliggemandarijn The LEDs are an integral part of the camera and match the electronics. In fact, they are on all the time and as soon as the camera detects a major decline in ambient light it switches to black and white IR mode.

@@Nino-cv4dw Of course this camera records sound like all these cameras. The camera is equipped with infrared LEDs which become active as soon as the ambient light is too weak. Unfortunately the LEDs don't reach far enough to be really effective. However, if an artificial light, such as a street lamp, is in the camera's field of view then night recording is quite good.

@@Tom-ld9hp You may have a problem with your camera. Once connected to an external power source, the blue standby LED should light up. The camera can be turned off while charging by pressing the power button for 2-3 seconds. The blue LED will then go out but charging will continue. When a formatted card is inserted for the first time and the camera is turned on, a file called 'time.txt' is created which can be edited using a text editor. To do this, change the current date, time and recording parameters, save these parameters and then immediately put the card back in the camera. Turn the camera on.

[@Meisech]

@@MariusMerchiers I think all these cheap cameras have their shortcomings. I did a lot of testing and I didn't really find a camera that suited me 100%. Make your father happy and buy him a quality camera. I have a weakness for Escam cameras: m.banggood.com/de/buy/escam-camera.html

[@Meisech]

@@MariusMerchiers FYI: if you haven't bought your father a camera yet, I just changed one of my surveillance cameras and I am very happy with this model. ctronics 5MP 4K, 5x optical zoom, PTZ (SKU: CTIPC-700C-4MPB). Amazon Germany: €50.

​@@Meisechthx for the info! 😊

HELP ! I got one. But cant turn it on. After pressing button with camera, blue light doesnt flashes 3 times. (according with manual it have to flashes 3 times). So it doesnt recording. My parameter setings in SETTINGTIME file is : 2023-01-01,00:00:00 YY. I tried to change it but it doesnt work.

[@Meisech]

To turn on the camera you must push the 'Motion detection' button and not 'Camera'. When the blue LED is lit, briefly press the same button again. The LED turns off and the camera records. You must edit the parameters and enter the correct time and date.

[@Tom-ld9hp]

I have the same problem tried a ton of times.

[@Tom-ld9hp]

@@Meisech After putting in the date I hit one of the many tabs that say settings and asks you if you want to change and it doesnt change on my video. Tried many times.

[@Meisech]

@@Tom-ld9hp It is important that you use an SD card that does not exceed the allowed capacity. If you use a card up to 32GB, it should be formatted with FAT32 beforehand, otherwise the card will not be recognized. If there is no card or the SD card does not meet the criteria, the LED will flash a few times and then the camera will turn off.

[@Meisech]

@@Tom-ld9hp Either it is a replica of the original camera that uses inferior electronic components or there really is an electronic problem with the camera. Also, the edited parameters must correspond exactly to the criteria I showed in my video, otherwise the camera cannot interpret the data.

There is no app, this camera does not have WiFi !

It depends on your needs. For the XD there are 3 models: 1) camera without battery and without WiFi (the smallest), 2) Camera with battery and without WiFi, 3) camera with WiFi but without battery and most of the time with a resolution of only 640x480pixels .

[@AlbertTheTiger]

I have that with wifi but no battery and it requires an app called v380 pro to connect with. Any idea about that? It’s not working for me, can’t get a connection:(

[@Meisech]

@@AlbertTheTiger There are 2 models of this camera. One that works with the V380 Pro app and one with the IWFCam app. I own both cameras, but unfortunately they both only have a resolution of 640x480. This camera would also exist with FullHD resolution, but I don't know which app it uses. Maybe try setting it up with the IWFCam app.

[@Tom-ld9hp]

Just received another one of these today now I got an issue The microSD card will not snap in there I don't know how many times I've tried it anybody else have that problem it's not the micro SD card cuz I tried another

[@Meisech]

I had the same problem with my first micro XD camera. After several inserts the card retension mechanism was broken. Unfortunately there is nothing to do, it is impossible to repair. The only thing you can try is to insert the card as far as it will go and secure it with tape.

[@Tom-ld9hp]

@@Meisech I found a simple way. A penny did the trick.

[@Meisech]

@@Tom-ld9hp Or a piece of tape....

[@SnoopyDoofie]

Garbage. Bought a brand new SanDisk 128 GB SD Card and it couldn't recognize it nor format it.

[@Meisech]

Maximum capacity is 64 GB

[@SnoopyDoofie]

@@Meisech On the manufacturer's website, it lists 128 GB, and virtually every seller on eBay lists it at 128 GB. I just got back from town where I even bought a 64 GB class 10 version from Samsung. Didn't work.

[@Meisech]

@@SnoopyDoofie I have already noticed that the advertising is the same for all resellers. If the producer marks 128 GB, everyone else follows and also marks 128 GB without even checking if the camera really supports this size. Besides, I have never seen such a camera with 128 GB memory card. Other dealers lie about camera specs. Do a search for example on Aliexpress, XD camera battery. You will see that the maximum capacity of the card is 64 GB. Try to format the 64 GB card to Fat32 and not exFAT. If that still doesn't work, then your camera is only 32 GB or there really is an electronic problem.

[@SnoopyDoofie]

@@Meisech The manual in the box even indicates 128 GB. But like I said, it didn't even take a 64 GB card.

I think you got the fake one my xd camera with battery the video is better than yours

[@Meisech]

You may be right, but it's always hard to prove.

[@Meisech]
