Fine and dandy all the instructions in the world on how to operate the low camera but go to plug it into view anything and he got no instructions anywhere it’s really frustrating me it won’t read the video format it won’t support and I can’t view my videos why

Some of my video players wont play the files either but Windows media player in WIN 10 plays them fine!

Don’t buy this camera!
In many (like mine) the mode button goes directly from blue to red and it is impossible to record in 1080p.
The picture is not in high resolution either. Maximum 1280x720p.

You are so right!! I purchased one and there is no way to put it into 1080p?? So frustrating because I see all the manuals online and the directions do not match up with the one I purchased?? Thanks for confirmation…. Now I know that it isn’t me being a dufuss? (not this time at least?)

Put the small SD card in the USB that comes with the camera. then put usb in computer and update the drive. it will download every thing you need. it really does have awesome pictures and video. I just can’t figure out how to keep the dam thing on for longer then one video. lol I’m working on that one.

What i’ve actually done is left the tf card in while charging. If I leave it out the camera red light goes steady in 10 minutes. With it in, it goes for 3-4 hours then goes steady. It seems to charge better. Try this. Despite what the camera says, I can only get about 30 minutes of files. It’s pretty frustrating.

No there is no way to use mobile devices. You can plug it into a tv and watch it that way.

You can take the sd card out any insert it into your android device! Stupid I phone ! You can’t as it does not use a sd card .
Chances are it will come up as only able to play audio or worse yet it just plain won’t play the video ! In that case your device just needs to download the right media file , the one I use is VLC you’ll find it in the App Store obviously lol it’s a picture of a big orange pylon lol I also use KMPlayer for the simple fact I was trying to find one more user friendly for editing but truth be told they both suck lmao ! But at least you can watch your video
