[@neilmitchener1000]

Hi there. Well your you tube tutorial very good thanks. Prob have to watch it a few times to get the hang of using mine. You mentioned they get warm when charging. Mine gets very hot after just a minute or so. Is that correct? Also, trying mine, it doesnt react as you show on vid for some reason. Any ideas why that would be? Alsd , I couldnt quite see which way round you put the mem card in, so do please advise there too. Regards Neil. [e-mail]

[@jayjay-hb9wu]

Geeky Stuff, thought that place looked familiar at the start of the journey , i'm from cheshire but used to live on Richmond road Gillingham .

[@faizmohammadmohammad316]

I had Purchas this one it's not make video on t card only voice recording is made and there is no video what should I do.

[@mayj257]

Where is the sd card ???

[@xciv808]

How do you get it to connect into your phone...?? Also how you get it to go live and connected to your phone..??

[@ronjones4069]

One thing more amazing than this inexpensive, great quality camera are your instructions. I got one of these and never figured out how to use it. You saved my camera from the recycle bin and let me get on with my project. THANK YOU!!!

[@GeekyStuff]

I'm glad the video helped

[@Georgeelhindi]

One side of the manual is Chinese and the other side is Chinglish

[@JahMaeCo]

lol

[@retrogamingnmore2513]

and it is so useless i got so frustrated

[@jack-zz9hb]

Lol so true, thank God for this video.

[@jazziehuell816]

no chinges 😂

[@TheoatStudio]

lol, exactly. I had a hard time understanding the instruction.

[@TheRosharn]

Thank you. I just purchased this item on a bidding site but I didn't know what it could do. I'm very excited now and look forward to using it here in Las Vegas. Very helpful!

[@lorrainejames]

Mine came in the mail today! Got so excited, then scanned the instructions. So glad I searched and found your helpful video too. I’m just charging it right now before playing with it.

[@whahappa]

It also works as a webcam! I just got mine today, and while charging on my MacBook I decided to open QuickTime and there it was!

[@oiramormedeiros]

whahappa Thank you! You are so amazing 🙏

[@ryotahh5702]

I've watched so many tutoral videos and none of them were clear , now I finally understand .thank you so much !

[@candyluv8888]

Can not thank you enough trying to read the instructions with my old eyes was a no go Then found you on here Brilliant all up and running thrilled with it now Thanks again your a star

[@GeekyStuff]

No problem, Jon. Im glad it helped you and hope you enjoy your camera :)

[@nixie2462]

Nice!! I lost the manual (for what it could have been used, anyways) and was unable to use it, thanks for sharing how it works!

[@pablolicari4882]

Hey, you forgot to mention how to set it for motion capture. When you turn it on, press MODE for a few seconds until the light blinks. When the camera detects motion it will record for 5 minutes. Cool video! thanks!

[@GeekyStuff]

+Pablo Licari Oh bummer lol! I for got! thanks for the info though. Hopefully people read your comment and thanks for the compliment.

[@AchillesGr69]

helo, i have the camera but when i hold the on button to power on , i get a red then blue, and then three blinks of red and again two blinks of red and nothing happens. can you please help ?tried the reset button. the same think happens.... thanks!

[@pablolicari4882]

Hey Man... sorry you have that issue! Do you have the micro SD card properly installed? another issue could be low battery indicator

[@AchillesGr69]

helo, yes it is incerted properly. when i have the usb cable connected the cam and the contents are visible to pc. also it is posible to make recording. as i detach the usb i get the led flashing and turn off. it seems it is a charging issue. do you have any idea? thanks a lot...

[@pablolicari4882]

Hey man... why don't you try this and see if the camera is working: Connect it with the video cable to a tv, it should show you what the camera see. That way you know if the camera works when is not connected to any power supply (battery problem)

[@Noa3205]

Thank you so very much! Question - Can I start by taking pictures and not video recording?

[@dougcain250]

I still have questions, I do have much greater understanding after watching your video, thanks for your help.

[@shaners1]

Thanks for the amazing review! while in motion detector mode, how long of inactivity before the camera stops recording? Do i need to manually turn it off myself each time?

[@magendavid22]

Thank you very much Video is very helpful

[@Twizzforsberg]

Thanks, didnt understand the manual but you showed it all. Could i have a powerbank and film so the battery is not getting empty so fast?

[@balanradu4916]

Thanks for review, now I'm convince I'm gone buy it . well done!

[@citizengar]

Good video, thanks. I just ordered one. We'll see how it goes.

[@lequettadavis2147]

does this camera have a app to install on your phone

[@thecentralscrutinizerr]

You have to charge the camera to its fullest before inserting the SD Card to avoid any issues. Edited to add: You can buy adhesive velcro strips to mount this using the stand. Just peel one side the velcro and put it where you want the camera to be, then peel another for the base of the camera stand and presto. Insta mounting with no screws.

[@AudiophileTubes]

Excellent video! 720p seems better, with more natural 'real time' movement, and ample detail.

[@teresadumas8786]

THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH! The videos are awesome and you gave such perfect instructions! I had a heck of a time trying to figure out the written ones!! Your video is by far the best one I have seen describing this awesome lil camera- As far as tyhe rain goes- I think i shows how good this lil cam really is!! Thanks again!!!

[@GeekyStuff]

Teresa Dumas Thank you for your kind words :)

[@mcdangdang]

can you leave it pluged in to the usb port continually? and will it loop record?

[@Lordbrucifer]

There is a hinge on one side and an screw on another. If you get your memory card stuck inside, you can unscrew it and open it to take it out.

[@marilynduenas1876]

Lol It happened to me

[@Miafunfactory]

don't lose the screw. 😫

[@jja2085]

Very helpful video,could not follow the directions that came with the camera. It may be covered and I missed it but how do you just shut the camera off ?

[@Bkkriversidelifestyle]

Thank you for your good video. Would like to know if this camera can be used as a security one to record whos at your main door? But for that which mode we should set it up? As per the short battery time, it maybe needs to be charged several times daily? Thanks if you have used it in the same way.

[@wikilix86]

This is probably the best review in any category not only about camera. Good job mate!

[@YouDoNotKnowMe99]

Excellent vid. could u or someone please explain the motion function please, is thing able to only record when theres movement, if i leave it over night for example

[@phatez9768]

That is the idea, but its hyper sensitive and will come on even when I can't visibly see movement, and the battery won't last that long.

[@midnightcustomz5506]

Can u record with it plugged into the USB charger so u can record for a hole day on the SD card or would that be a bad idea since it's a lithium battery?

[@jamesblanton9364]

Awesome stuff mate, that was an excellent review. Thanks heaps.

[@GeekyStuff]

no problem mate, thanks.

[@wb5rue]

Thank you for the great video. I just bought one of these and the "English" was sparse and not well translated. I used velcro to attach it to the lower windscreen.

[@luisbertozzi]

Hi friend, I do have a question. How can you change the date and time on the videos or I should say the cam.?

[@richardbruinsma1561]

Hi. Great video. I have three questions (might sound silly from me, a non-techy person :-))... 1. How long does it take to charge and what light style/colour will indicate that it is charged? and 2. Does it need a card in it to navigate the various modes? Mine seems to do nothing when I press the buttons, although it has no card in it yet. and 3, When the card is full, does it stop recording or start looping over the earliest video on the card? Any responses are greatly appreciated.

[@gmchristie123]

The included instructions are useless..

[@AussieGypsy]

Hi from Australia Where we currently have a horrible heat wave of over 40 degree days. I laughed at Sorry for the Rain. We need Rain desperately. Thank you for your video. When it arrived in the mail. I LOOKED at it and thought WTF Now I feel comfortable in using it.

[@automotivetales]

Handy video - the 'English' on the Manual was as much use as a chocolate fire guard so thank you for helping me understand how to use this little device!

[@GuntherE]

About the video modes; in 720p; you get 16:9 image ratio, 30fps. In 1080p it goes in 4:3 image ratio, 15 fps. No clue about the use of that, but I thought it might be useful to know.

[@furionrebel]

is there an option to record 720P at 60FPS or is just 30FPS? Thanks

[@beverlydwyer4379]

Hi great video one question can u use any tf card up to 32gb I am using a 16gb Sandisk Ultra it only records for max 3 mins is this working properly

[@marcel89]

Thank you. Can it work as a webcam?

[@smithy2365]

Subscribed! Thanks for the vid. Very helpful. I'm more impressed by the 720p than 1080p tbh. 720 looks better all round whereas 1080 seems a bit jittery. And if recording etc, with the 720 quality I'd rather use that.. be able to store more. Thanks!

[@paulsteketee6883]

Great video I read the 'English' instructions more times than I care to count. This video cleared it all up

[@pleasantstrummer]

Cool, thanks for posting, much appreciated.

[@ermaniletisim4625]

I love this camera very much

[@pioneervajo]

thank you very much for your review, it's so much better than the manual that comes along with it :), i bought it on aliExpress for 8.5€ in october '17

[@davecp2006]

most helpfull, many thanks

[@stephanemetellus4261]

Great video I’m gonna set up mine soon

[@hattrickjs]

Apologies if this was answered already, but if I want to just turn off the camera to save battery life, what is the process. By the way, thank you for clearly explaining the modes (reading the instructions in English was like watching a badly dubbed Chinese movie)

[@tphvictims5101]

720p nite vision +motion detection ? can it be done? this is a pretty good video . thank you very much .

[@max2gain]

Great video, thanks. I was having trouble with the "English" instructions, you cleared that up nicely.Don't know why the rain bothered you so much, it's Britain, it rains there. We all know that.

[@unrealinventor2006]

All of the SQ mini's have heat issues , drill some vent holes(no cost) in the case will help will this.

[@OttoRappTheMystic]

I got this one years ago for under $ 10.-. Same problem with the SD card falling into the camera instead of sliding into the slot, I had a hard time retrieving it again to put it in properly. Best to use tweezers for that. What I like particularly is that when you are recording, there is no light showing, so peeps don't know you are recording, because any other camera, you have a blinking light when you are in recording mode. The videos are actually amazing quality, considering the size and what one pays for this thing.

[@wb5rue]

How do you know the difference between being powered off and recording if the light turns off while recording?

[@leehotson9037]

An excellent tutorial, many thanks.

[@DennysCountryLife]

Thanks for the video!! Cheers

[@cindyh8271]

WOULD IT BE RECOGNIZED BY AN OS WIN 10 OF A PC DESKTOP COMPUTER? THANKS

[@akgelos17]

Great review bud!!

[@Jogvanth]

Thanks, very helpful. One question, how do you get the camera to record more than just a few minutes of video at a time? Mine seems to stop recording after 2-3 minutes no matter what I try

[@phatez9768]

Sounds like either A its not fully charged, B it doesn't have enough memory on the stick, or C the power button gets bumped again... It could also be in motion detect mode and the motion detect mode with mine isn't the best, it takes up all the space and battery power coming on at seemingly random intervals, yes when someone/thing is moving, but also when I see no movement on video, in a closed and sealed room.

[@lindaprice3897]

Do it come with the little disc card or do i have to buy it

[@Jan07362]

U can only access mode unless the tf is inserted, it was recomended to charge when its new what are indication thqt it is fully charge?

[@user-cl2ls7kz7o]

can you live view with this camera ? without internet only connecting via bluetooth or wifi ?

[@jakethisguyrighthere271]

im having issues with playback, windows 10 says WMP cannot play file. but neither will VLC. any thoughts fixes?

[@victorsaari1393]

is there loop recording feature?? or motion sensor?

[@jaysonwatts7853]

Great video. When I try turning on motion sensor the light stays blinking in magneta color after holding down mode button for 2 seconds. Is that Normal to stay blinking?

[@klodttracy0]

Did you figure out how to make the motion sensor to work. i wanted it for my porch to see who come in mad yard at nite.

[@godfatherinoz]

Great vid very helpful thank you

[@jvugarte]

Nice video very handling, and complete with all feature of SQ8, Thanks

[@usmanaslam48ua]

Very helpful video and don't be sorry for rain dear...its a blessing..actually iam feeling jealous looking at this amazing weather in my country it seldom rains.

[@bartjuhh12]

Very helpful as the manual is not. Thanks sir!

[@ms.sunshinesrefrigeratorar1547]

Thanks! Excellent tutorial.

[@tomrock6431]

does it loop record or automatically record over the old videos? thanks

[@MEN-IN-BLACK1960]

thanks for your VDO very helpful CHEERS FROM THE AUSIES AUST

[@terrenceacathan2450]

will it work under water with a water tight clear box ?

[@vagabond0078]

So if this is off, then it gets power (you plug in the charger to the camera side, then to the wall) will it start recording? Thanks.

[@whoamitojesus]

i have noticed there is no date and time setting, or it can be turn on and off? does it?

[@johnnytranna]

As a DriveCam recorder, I guess you can't use Night Mode, as he IR lights will reflect off of the windshield?

[@vikingdrummer9140]

what do u get best all round results on 1080 or 720 thanks

[@ickleone33]

Hi, If the camera is connected to the car's power supply, will it turn on/off, when you turn on/off car's ignition? Also does the sd card record, in a continuous loop? Great vid, thanks...

[@WhiteLily777]

thank you!

[@bonmac8856]

I'm sorry if i missed it but how long does it record for in night vision /motion activity?

[@JulieKuhlAffinity]

What happens at the end of the 100 minutes of recording? Does it loop and start recording over earlier stuff? Once you start recording how long will it record....or does it have an automatic shut off at some point?

[@mssdifesapersonale]

How long can it work after a charge?

[@ZETxZ4]

Jesus Christ, until now I wouldn`t believe that such a tiny camera can record smooth videos like that, it`s really unbelievable. Buying one right now.

[@ZoomForMediaServies]

AxeGrrrl

[@jorismaasvisuals]

Does 720p setting have some sort of image stabilization or something (like moving the 720p frame around in a 1080p resolution area or something?).

[@darrenprice1417]

Thanks for doing a very good job 👍

[@my5cents4u]

thanks for the details and explaining it all. My manual says max 32GB and not 64GB.

[@zahinsunasara433]

Does it works recording and charging at the same time???

[@earldaniels1]

How longdoes it record at one time... And does it automatically save the video or does it re-elected record over the footage..

[@kaichampaign7362]

This is was sooooo helpful!!!

[@simonpovey2861]

Thank you very much Video is very helpfu

[@zoieswebq-patriot3762]

Does it do motion capture? Trying to catch which pet is messing up!

[@waldenhouse]

Please can you advise on how this .txt works on this camera? I've never mastered the operation of Date & time using .txt ! I just can't work it out. Mine defaults all the time to a 2017 date and I can't get it to change or disable it. Please can you help? Thanks. Bob

[@tioranias]

where do you connect this on tv and what source do I scroll too?

[@TsannelKoKo]

Hello I would like to ask u if that camera take pictures while is in motion detection...if yes can u tell me how? Thank u

[@vaickiballs]

Is there any way to make it auto start as soon as you plug the usb in?

[@aleisterblacke]

Just got one yestreday, and the English instructions were confusing (broken English, as translated from Chinese). This video helped me out a lot to figure it all out, and I wrote it all down so I can remember!

[@jack-zz9hb]

Thanks for this video.

[@Angel317537]

How long will this record? Say, I want to leave it on overnight as a security camera, will it record all night long?

[@johnmccormick2883]

Very good video with explanation and examples !!! Thanks...

[@Phildo8]

How I haven’t discovered this channel before idk but these are the tech reviews I love! New technology items that you don’t have to break the bank to own! There are a few other “tech channels” that I may watch occasionally but most of the time, I’d say 99.999% the brand new newest of the new tech they have to review are on more on the expensive side bc normally they’re top tier devices that I would say the normal middle class working person wouldn’t buy it & it’s not bc they don’t like it! Of course they do bc it’s the newest most advanced items in their fields but I just can’t see how middle class ppl (especially if they have a child(s) bc they & myself included just don’t wanna spend the cash on something that’s not a necessity. even though Im single & don’t have any children. Im not rich in the least but luckily I don’t have to do the paycheck to paycheck living & having to count each cent thanks to my concession business I started in 2003 as a junior high school so regardless wether I can afford it or not I’d rather buy a cheaper model that’s made by a different name (normally I always go to a small American business) bc since they’re not a giant factory I’ve found the smaller the business the better not just on cost but they’re made with quality materials normally by hand since being a small fish in a big pond they have to make their things w/best available parts that are built to last!

[@kennieMusicLovers]

can i copy /transfer the video to my computer ?

[@arturomonsalve]

How i can disable date information on the record video?

[@morgantyree]

This is the best tutorial on this camera I've come across. Question for you if you have the time: The manual seems to indicate you can change the settings on the camera when plugged into your computer via a text file (much like the 808 keychain cameras), but the instructions are so vague, I can't make any headway. Have you had any success with this? In particular, I was hoping there was a time lapse still camera setting. For example; when you are in photo mode, it will take a picture every 5 seconds (or whatever interval you program in). Thanks so much.

[@GeekyStuff]

Hi morgan, thank you for lovely comment. I have not tried any of those things with the camera unfortunately. you can set motion capture. When you turn it on, press MODE for a few seconds until the light blinks. When the camera detects motion it will record for 5 minutes.

[@pawel_jan_sokolowski]

In my SQ8, there is only 480p, not 720p. Looks not reliable.

[@photoSIMPA]

Love your description... Well done... Thanks
