IMHO this is a worthless piece of electronics. First it does not come with memory so you need to buy a microcard which is about $10-22 extra. The directions are almost wothless. It has a small DVD with alot of un-needed extras and a pain to find the actual manual which is all of 7 pages half of them warnings. As far as being a spy camera? What a joke!! When it is operating you have 4 blue lights flashing on the back. If you cover the lights with tape there is still a white plastic spacer all around the middle that flashes. You are not able to cover this up because the mic is built into this piece. It only works well in bright light and it does not record voices well as the lens faces forward and the mic faces up. Also it is not very Vista compatable.

Great item, works great it's not to much of a hidden camera due to all the bright lights, but some black rpae will Take care of that.

We returned this product to Amazon because we thought it wasn't recording video. The seller saw my earlier review which pretty much trashed this product and gave us a phone call. He sent us another recorder for us to try. We tried the new recorder today and discovered that the video is actually recorded to the device's internal memory and not on the flash card as we had thought.

After recording a video, the flash card looks like it has a video file (*.avi), but it really does not have the video. Note that photos can be recorded to the flash card, but not video.

We experimented by removing the flash card and discovered the video on the internal memory. We could playback the video on our PC from that memory. Perhaps, the flash card is too slow for recording???? We don't know that answer, but we can view the videos on our PC if we go to the internal memory of the device.

Like others who have written their reviews, we agree the manual is poorly written and the picture of the device in the manual does not match the actual device.

I bought this camera not expecting a high end HD camcorder, but I expected a steady picture. Unless you place it on a table top with nothing affecting its balance, you get choped up video which is not viewable. decent audio though. I would rate the audio a 2.5 out of 5 stars. if you plan to hide this camera in a well lit area for servalance, its a good buy, but if you plan to move around don't waste your time. also hard to operate. bad directions. good luck

The seller had to send me two because I could not get my PC to recognize the first one. The second one I got has great quality, both video and audio. Mine is to record aerial video on my rc plane so I don't care to stick it in my pocket or anything. I recommend it.

I use this thing to keep tabs in my house when the plumber or electrician is in the house. I has good video and sound quality in a very small package. Plus it records about two hours worth of video which is about all you can really look over without falling asleep.

I Get Photos and Sound but no video..i have downloaded a lot of avi players and still dont get any...Anyone who can help me??

Thanks!
