    Not for the Sq11. It’s just a little camera that can record about an hour or so unless you hook it up to a power pack then you will get longer. But you still wouldn’t know what you had recorded until you uploaded the footage from the memory card.

    I just want to know many hours it can regularly record with 32GB se card at normal video quality ?? Do i need to connect to laptop to delete recordings ?? I’ve never used any security cameras ever,I live in small 1br basement.But bow i need one and for cheaper price possible.

    Hi there, apologies for the late reply! So 32GB would get you a lot of footage depending on how you have the camera set up of course. For example in this video I set up the camera on night vision and motion detection mode, powered with a 5000mah power bank and a 32gb memory card. The power bank/camera would last around 15hours from what I remember, depending on how much motion was detected. As for the memory card, you should get a least a good week out of that amount of space if not more. Again however depending on how you have the camera set up. The recordings I think just get recorded over once the memory card is full I think. If you wish to view any of the video or pictures then you would need to connect either the camera or the memory card to a computer or laptop. Hope that all makes sense! Personally I would say If you are planning on using this for a security camera, it maybe better to invest in something else. Just for peace of mind!

    Thank you for the review as you gave this inexpensive camera a very good run through of its features. At one point you wondered if you were being overly critical and I'd say "yes". Depending where you buy this camera, you can get it in the $10 range. So discussing image stabilization or web connectivity seems a little unnecessary. This is a camera for just playing around. I bought some for placing on the ground and trying to capture mice or shrews. It would also be an OK camera to place on a shelf if you wanted to see if anyone was entering your house, office or work cubicle. Or where in the house the dog wandered when you weren't home. I have 4 and have not used them for awhile but your video, even though a year old, has encouraged me to dig them out and use them again. Thank you again.

  • @mcphoney

    @mcphoney

    Hmm that’s a tough one but I wouldn’t say long. I think I got around 90minutes of continuous recording so on motion detection you could get a good few hours me thinks! I’ve been hooking it up to a power bank which makes it last for well over 8hrs (again depending on how much motion is picked up of course!)

    So basically it can take any micro SD card up to a maximum size of 32gb. Which means unfortunately your 128gb would not be compatible. But have a little look around, I’m sure there must be similar ones that support 128gb! 💪

    Mine works only for a few seconds (about 10 to 40) and stops. What is the issue ? I charge the battery at each new attempt... I tried formating the card in NTFS it did not work at all. Then I formated it again in FAT32, it works again but only for about 10-40 seconds then it stops. I tried every sort of recording. I know the manual by heart... It works for taking pictures. For video only 720p work, never 1080 never motion detection and never more than about 40 seconds... ? I tested 2 different 32 go TF cards tested all OK... ??

    I’ll be honest it could be one of the “older/not so good” versions. That’s what mine was at the start of the video so had to order another! It seemed to come on and work but then stop. One way you can tell is if the video is in a 16:9 or 4:3 format. If it is 4:3 then it’s the older/dodgy model. Hopefully either way you can send it back for a replacement?

    @KStarDid So I got my second one from aliexpress but paid a bit more for it. However I can’t seem to find the store any more. However this one seems real to me after reading the reviews and seeing some pictures… www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004806120642.html?spm=a2g0n.productlist.0.0.66fc6b846l45vo&browser_id=a166759dfb8f472280e01e3e5d62b9e9&aff_platform=msite&m_page_id=ialhqnbxscavrssf18e2a248613184f54be914a3bf&gclid=&pdp_npi=4%40dis%21GBP%218.29%218.29%21%21%2174.18%2174.18%21%40210387a117101040204862100e9f26%2112000037970755171%21sea%21UK%212092747780%21&algo_pvid=447e799b-4f4b-4654-a234-8db17c25a301&_universallink=1&m_page_id=ialhqnbxscavrssf18e2a248613184f54be914a3bf But if unsure again just check out how many have been sold with how many reviews. Eg.5000 sold from the seller but with only a 2star review then avoid. But 300 sold with 4.5 star review then that seems quite legit! Hope that helps! 👌

    I'm confused about getting 1080p mode because you said press mode button for 1080p mode, and then also for camera mode, it only goes to camera mode... I get it's a simple camera but man does it suck when 1 button is designed to do so many different things when they could easily just add 1 more button

  • @mcphoney

    @mcphoney

    Ай бұрын

    Oh yes dont worry,, Im totally with you in regards to the lack of buttons and complexity of using it. I still have to look back on this video when I want to set up the motion detection! Anyhow just to answer your question, to get to 1080p mode, Press the power button to turn the camera on. When it comes on it is in 720p mode. Then press the M (mode) button once to switch to 1080p mode. Then to start recording just press the power button once. And to stop recording just press the power button once again. On a side note, if your camera isnt doing anything or switching to 1080p mode there is the possibility that it could be once of the "fake" ones that have flooded the market. (The first one in this video turned out to be a "dodgy" one. The way to double check is check how any recordings are made. If they are in 16:9 (widescreen) then you have a good one. If it records in 4;3 (square) then it could be a fake one. Another way to check is if it records in Night Vision mode. If no infrared lights come on when in night vision mode, then again Im afraid its a "fake one" with plastic made to look like LEDs. Anyhow, hopefully you have a good/real one and can now get to 1080p mode! 👍

    Look in the card slot, you will see pins there. Insert the card so that the pins in the slot match the pins on the card. In practice, the pins on the card should face the lens. Don't push the card too deep, it should be flush with the casing.
