IN CAR RECORDING CAMERAS

[Robbie8666]

I might use mine as a home security camera set to motion detect and have it look at the bike through the dinning room window 

link wrt using security cameras! worth a quick read prior to installing it just to cover yourselves

ta but it will only capture images on my property as the bike is in a wooden lean to at the back of the house

Note that Class 10 only requires the card to perform at a minimum Read / Write speed of 10 MB/s and that you can get varying cards even at this classification.

The card I linked to is UHS-I (Ultra High Speed I) rated and performs at up to 45 MB/s despite the minimum requirement still being 10 MB/s. Take all of this in to account when buying a "high performance" SD Card before you get caught out like a few others who reviewed probably did.

More information, should you wish, is available here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital

Cool, i wanna see if there's any knocking about at work first, but i have this week off so won't know 'til Monday, but it's being delivered to work anyway so no big deal.
There's a small chance my boss will have a large unwanted stash of them.

I watched the vid at 720 and could not read any number plate or sign posts, is that an issue or was that just settings my end

You record at 720p

[Fazafou]

You can record and watch.

A video can be recorded in 1080p but you can still watch in 720p if you want.

Either way 720p should be fine to read plates/signs. If you can it's probably more to do with poor quality video or vibration.

For 10 quid i doubt it will be fantastic and the Amazon reviews pretty much show this.

Ok for a bit of fun, but I wouldn't want to rely on the video for insurance purposes.

One more quick anecdote - 720p and 1080p define the SIZE of the video in pixels, not the quality of the image

720p is 1280x720 pixels
1080p is 1920x1080 pixels


And no, the p does not stand for pixels

I was refering to this

Set the Youtube playback setting to 720(HD)

I did and the playback quality was no that good and the reason for my interest was for insurance use

Similar reasons with me Sharpy, but for£20 all in I thought I'd take a punt. Should arrive today/tomorrow so will take a quick vid and post it up along with a couple of still frames from the vid.

I was thinking that if the quality wasn't 100% then I would be taking camera shots out of the car anyhows and the video would give the whole picture.

Let you know fella.

The 'P' stands for pyjamas, you will see a clearer picture if you watch playback in your pyjamas.

A mate has just bought one of these and its stuck to the side of his fairing. I've seen footage of him doing 150mph (private race track) and the footage is pretty impressive quality

It will need a good quality card. The battery seems to last for about an hour. The only negative being sound quality, or noise. It has the mike as part of the body so wind noise is a nuisance.

Ordered mine 24th march  sd card arrived but no sign of camera :\

[taylor]

[Frosties]

My card arrived 1st April, Camera on 2nd.

Not long set it up - Can't seem to get mine to record in anything but VGA. Will try again.

[darrsi]

Okay, think mine is either a Chinese copy or an old one - mine doesn't have the same functions as the one in this link (look at 5mins onwards)

Still not a bad camera though for the money and is more than adequate for any insurance issue.

In those sorts of Amazon group buys, the items aren't always from the same seller / Merchant so often have different delivery methods and dates

Just looked at my order, I never realised it was coming from Hong Kong, I doubt i'll see that for a while yet then.  :\
