Revainrating 5 out of 5

Amazing value (and how to correct time and date)

For $32 you get everything pictured and everything works perfectly. I am really impressed. I charged it and then checked. The included 16GB card gives you around 1 hour of high-resolution recording broken up into 10-minute clips (which is normal for video recording). The video quality is surprisingly clear given the camera's small size, and the sound quality is surprisingly good. Since this is a pen that sticks out of your pocket, expect plenty of movement and shaking if you're not sitting still. Additionally, you may not get other people's faces when making face-to-face contact because the stylus is at chest level. However, this product will probably do exactly what you expected. Truly incredible value for money. SETTING THE DATE: The only thing you need to learn, and they don't tell you in the instructions, is how to set the date and time. Actually, you need to connect the pen to the computer with the SD card in the pen, then delete two folders (PHOTO and VIDEO), and then modify the UserConfig.txt file. This text file has a single line that reads: 2015-01-01 00:00:00. AFTER you have deleted the two folders you need to modify and save the text file with the current date and time e.g. e.g. 2018-12-10 11:14:00. After saving, take the pen out of the computer, turn it on and record a short video. When you plug the pen back into your computer, you will see that the PHOTO and VIDEO folders have been recreated with the current date and time. I had to do this 3 times before it worked but it did. I believe the problem was my own fault for not waiting for the stylus to write the entire sample video I recorded onto the card. Be patient. Highly recommended. Remember to know your state's laws so you don't commit a criminal invasion of privacy.
