[Tinaphan45]

Damn for that webcam its good quality

[DrTricks1985]

hi from brazil.

i the description from this camera has "motion detection video"

so i really needs that.

can you test if its works?

like when no movment no record at all, and when some people passes, its records right?

please test that function

thanks

[pimpolipom]

Thanks man! Because of your video, I noticed that I accidentally ordered SD memorycard with the camera. Now I sent message to deal extreme to change it to MICRO SD.

[ParaglidingManiac]

Your link to DX is dead. Could you repost it please?

[HobbyPicker]

dude you are the best reviewer ever...

[puraraza5]

do you know where i can download the drivers for this?

[Skavaen]

@puraraza5 The link in the description. I think someone on DX posted a link somewhere as well.

[LiquidEngin33r]

is it worth it? i'm thinking about buying it

[Skavaen]

@LiquidEngin33r I think so, I love mine. I use it when I am buying stuff for builds and they won't let me go in there with my camcorder. it also works great as a web cam. Only problem I had with it was the manual. It was written in Chinese making it useless to me. I figured out how to work it though.

[LiquidEngin33r]

@Skavaen Thanks! I'll consider it now.

[Skavaen]

@LiquidEngin33r I am not sure what you want to use it for. I did another video of using it for a webcam with the included software as people were asking for the quality of that as well.

[LiquidEngin33r]

@Skavaen A link please? lol it'd sure help... Not sure if i want to buy it because i don't have an SD either in which i'd have to buy a 2gb for $7 which is rather cheap at DX as well.... Does this camera have a good build?

[LiquidEngin33r]

@Skavaen Found the video. Seems pretty good. Thanks. I'll consider buying it once i get my money

[Muffasa28]

hey. how long is the baterry life??? im looking for something i could "forget" at somoene house over night

[Skavaen]

@Muffasa28 this camera is only good for about 2 hours continuous record, if you have a really big memory card! 15 minutes video is pretty damn close to a gig.

[Muffasa28]

@Skavaen so the batterly only lasts 2 hours?

[Skavaen]

@Muffasa28 yeah about that, but you will run out of storage room long before if you are using a little 4GB like I have

[Muffasa28]

@Skavaen thats why you got to roll with the 32 gig!

[Yanooot]

how do you know when the camera is fully charged?

ty

[Skavaen]

@Yanooot thats the problem....you don't know when its fully charged. So if I know I am going to be using it I normally plug it into my computer over night and then I know its good to go the next day.

[Yanooot]

@Skavaen Ty for your help!! i just asked cause i got mine today and i wanted to test it =P

[Skavaen]

@Yanooot I really like mine when I wanna do a video of shopping. Alot of stores frown on video cameras in their shops...so I bring in the spycam LOL

[Yanooot]

@Skavaen Something else, do you know how long it takes for the Cam to get the movie/picture it took, to the memory card? cause i put the memory card in my computer and my computer said it wasn't finished so i lost the movie..

[Skavaen]

@Yanooot normally I stop the camera before I do anything. Actually to be honnest...I normally don't even take the memory out. I just stop the camera "make sure the blue light isn't flashing anymore" and then plug the camera into my computer and access the video footage that way. I don't trust this cheap camera to have quality parts so the less I pull that memory card out the longer it should last me.

[Yanooot]

@Skavaen oh and what program did u install for that?

[Skavaen]

@Yanooot no program. when you plug it into your computer it shows up as an external hard drive. Just open up your "my computer" or whatever windows vista and 7 call it and it should be there. If its not there press the M button to take the camera out of webcam mode and put it in storage mode.

[Yanooot]

@Skavaen cool tnx bro!

[ParkWayDrive011111]

love the editing ;D good vid

[DutchRodent]

where is that intro song from? :P

[Skavaen]

@DutchRodent Found it in a series of loops in Garageband. I liked it so I decided to use it. Sounds like something you would hear on a after school special right?

[DutchRodent]

@Skavaen I reconize it! Omg, this is anoying, i need to know in which tv show they use it .. :P

[Skavaen]

@DutchRodent Probably some Degrassi or 90210 show. Sounds like something that would involve adult actors pretending to be teenagers.

[andredemouraneves]

Hey man, great review. I'm thinking in buying this camera to use ina my paintball games. Tell can i turn the date an hour off? It's possible???

[Skavaen]

@andredemouraneves as far as I can tell you can't turn off the time stamp. For some reason setting the time stamp is a complete mystery for me as well. I tried what they said on deal extreme and what the guys said on the forum and none of that works. Dealextreme has a better product for what you want to do though..its an action cam. You could bolt it directly to the barrel of your paintball marker.

[wyx2000]

Hi, nice work. Could you show some image or video so I can see the result of the camera when it works as a USB camera?

[Skavaen]

@wyx2000 Sure can. I will whip up a video tonight or tomorrow and put it up.

[Skavaen]

@wyx2000 Webcam footage is up 

[GodHammer0]

How much space takes a 1min movie ? :D

[Skavaen]

@GodHammer0 Well for a simple 15 minute video it took 1.18GB...so 1 min, about 120mb. I really hate AVI cameras...compression on raw AVI is horrid.

[GodHammer0]

@Skavaen Thaks.... and damn..... verry big files.... so really no compression. I have AVI cameras, but use MPEG2 compression.... big files, but like 1Mb/second; this would be like twice :) 2 Mb/second :) .... damn......

[liuz0004]

a simple video, 30mins, im assuming 2gb+?

im planning to hook it up onto my bike. how long does the battery last?

[Skavaen]

@liuz0004 Longest video I ever did was the full 4gb of my memory card which was just over an hour and the camera was still wanting to record it just ran out of space. So I can guarantee it will do atleast 1 hour of video.

[liuz0004]

@Skavaen thanks for the great review and reply! ya great

[Polimorphix]

I put link to the drivers CD at dealextreme, use it ;)

[Skavaen]

@Polimorphix yeah I downloaded and installed them but for some reason the text in the driver was un-readable.  I think its the Chinese driver. I got it installed but the webcam feature isn't working on this laptop....OH!!! I am sure I will figure something out. thanks though!

[Polimorphix]

@Skavaen may be you start fl2setup? This is some type of player, and yes, it's chinese...

[Polimorphix]

Try to install

SPCA1528_V2220_MultiLan_090217

That's looks like a driver of webcam + some soft to capture video

turn the switch to "on"

press "M" first time - PC finds usb flash drive

press "M" second time - PC finds webcamera and installs driverz (i doono form where is this drivers, in my case windows 7/64 find it by himself)

That's all!

[Skavaen]

@Polimorphix yeah I just noticed the SPCA1528_v22220_MultiLan_09021­7.rar I unrar'd it and installed that and now its working like a charm. I just tested it on msn through their little webcam thing and its great. Another reason to love this little cam I guess.

[tint93]

Nice camera!

[jujitsu62]

Pretty cool !!

[Jaytheredneck1]

lol I'm betting you keep your camera on your desk now in pre-record mode lol, just so you can catch belches and farts.

[RobbiedeSmith]

Nice review, thanks
