2.5-inch 1080p Hd Wide-angle Hdmi Interface Vehicle DVR Road Dash Video Camera Traffic Recorder (F90

Gave this dash camera as a gift. While the camera works on it's internal battery it does not seem to save any data or provide any loop. Error screen indicates an SD card is needed. Giftee says instructions only mention to use an SD card but when he plugged one in the camera did not work. Russian made camera looks good quality wise, and picture is good on the self contained viewer, but I'm waiting to see if it works and records video as intended. An SDHC card is required for operation it should be noted and 32Gb gives many hours of up to ten minute files. I hope to report more as new info arrives.

Update for those interested 1/8/2013:

After fooling with the camera several hours, it is finally working fine. It is going to be a great camera for its intended purpose. Some suggestions to try:

I found the AC adapter will not power the camera (at least with a weak battery). So I used the included 12V cord to run the camera. The failure of the AC adapter to power the camera was a major source of confusion when figuring out the camera settings.

Use an SDHC card. Even tho the instructions say use SDHC I tried a small memory space standard SD card and it recorded but didn't have enough space to really tell if it was usable. You might get lucky if you have a standard card and it works.

I bought a 32 Gb SDHC card and it records many hours. After trying various setups I found the camera would only LOOP RECORD in bursts of maybe 4 seconds to a minute with giant gaps of time. I solved this by finding the FORMAT icon in system setup. This probably not only clears the SD card but also reformats and resets the camera.

Another item I'm not sure about is the MOTION DETECTION function. I am wondering if it resets the LOOP TIMER everytime it sees motion and this is the reason the camera settles into a short burst mode? Turning off the MOTION DETECT and then formatting I finally got everything working fine! I raised the rating to average because the camera works real good once one takes the time to figure out the functions but the instruction manual leaves much to be desired!

There is a little black reset button on the bottom of the camera. It seems only to unlock any screen freeze that might occur so that the camera can be turned off.

WHEW

not good. cheapo, most likely used, didnt hold charge, and screen tweaked out when i plugged charger in. come with all the cords and mount, cheap plastic/matierals.

This video camera comes with a simple manual which is written in many languages. But once unit is turned on and seems to work there is no further help either online or someone to contact. I can only record 4 to 9 seconds at a time. Can not figure out how to record in a longer time segment. Saving a segment for delete or save is easy. If there was someone to contact about this camera this would greatly increase the products rating.
