I tried reading the instruction and same...... I even aske my coworker to translate the instructions from Chinese (needless to say he is Chinese) to basic red-neck but he was also confused. This video made it so clear.
Hello mate' THANKS a LOT for that revew on the SQ12.. the manuel book was ok but your explaination was... much better👌 (Got mine for Drone and rc cars.. 😉)
Hi! I just bought it and want to use it as webcamera. Unfortunately after connecting to PC (win10) microphone doesnt work properly... it is detected but doesnt give any sound. Any idea?
No, just press Mode for 3sec in 720 mode (blue) or 1080 mode (blue&red) then the light will flash 3 times thats means motion detection is on. Any key press after this will exit motion detection mode.
Hello, I have a question, do you know how to enable motion detection in this camera when it is permanently connected to the power supply? I would like to record only when someone enters the room. Because now when I connect it to power it immediately starts recording in 5 minutes movies. Thank you for your help.
Hello: Thank you for this explanation. It was very easy to understand. I intend to use this camera to stream. When I plug it in, however, the output is very glitchy and only stabilizes for seconds at a time. Am I doing something wrong, or is the camera faulty? I recognize that this is not necessarily a diagnostic channel and you may not have the answer, but I appreciate any insight you can provide.
Thanks, I didn't try to stream with this camera but I'll try to help. * First see if the camera is output is good when you writing on a card. If not I guess you have a falty unit. * Make Shure that the camera is in FHD mode when connected. Check your wire as well. Good video quality is very light dependent try to use just natural light, because some led and other bulb has a flikering effect on your video. If all fail, I use a cheap h9r action camera to stream in pc mode look in youtube how to switch to this mode I think it's not In the manual. Other option - Sony has an old model of play station 3 camera. I haven't tried it but it's should be good for streaming without investing in a expensive logitech camera. Hope i helped you and good luck!
Hi Thanks it's works while charging but you will get 5 minutes files. If you can get a bigger cam i would recommend the furybee H9R ( you can find a video on my channel)
Well explained, thank you, just a small note, if you had the camera the other way while you were explaining, you would not have covered the LED light and I could have confirmed if I had it all correct by watching the LEDs on yours compared to mine. All the best.
The slot for the Mini SDcard is bigger than the card itself, It just seems to fall in there and move around. The SDcard should not move like it does. You did not address how to insert or where to insert the Mini SDCard? Otherwise, it is a really good instructional video. Thank you.
Does it miss something in between the loops?I mean, when the cam divides the videos into 5 minutes clips, does it miss some images while ending and starting a new clip?Let me ask this way, if I stick the 12 clips together, will I notice the 5 minutes period in the movie?Thank you!
This camera family seems ideal for a drone but useless as a nanny cam (battery life is too short). What external powerpack would keep this camera running (in motion detection mode) for 12 hours?
It depends what you looking for this camera has many good things - it's small, has motion detection, and the recording continues for 1hour so you have all the Footage including the sound. On the other hand image quality is only ok not great. And battery life is only one hour. I have 3 micro cams and 3 action cams but this is the only camera I use for suvilance.
+Gorilla Man Hi I created a basic guide for this camera .you can enter the night mode by pressing the power button for 2 sec, but it is grainy so i prefer not to use it.
Hi I am sorry to ask this question again but your reply to Kim Freeman "how do you make it work as Night vision Motion detection at the same time?" the answer does not appear where you deal with how to do it when it is not plugged into a USB.
Yes it's start recording, when it gets voltage. But I'm pretty sure it doesn't power off itself, it will shut down after the battery will drain - about an hour or less.
There is a txt file created on the micro SD card, just edit it to the right date with a simple text editor on your PC. You can also turn it off by replacing the "y" to "N" when editing it.
Yes it can do both at the same time. However when the 8 pin micro usb cable is plugged in while recording, it turns off the night vision. Power doesn't even have to be present for this to happen. I tried blocking ground pins 5 and 8 one at a time, worked until power was applied; so again a fail there. A bit of a bug i think.

Aviral Agarwal for the money it's ok as i said in the video the video quality is not great but considering its size and price it's good. also check my new video of the Hawkeye firefly micro camera it's has slightly better video but it's more expensive.
Thank You very much for this simple video. I could not get my head around the written instructions no matter how hard I tried.
I tried reading the instruction and same...... I even aske my coworker to translate the instructions from Chinese (needless to say he is Chinese) to basic red-neck but he was also confused. This video made it so clear.
Thanks! I had that thing lying around two months now, becaue I could not tell when it was recording and when not.
Very well explained in simple way.
Thankz

iTest Vlog your welcome ;)
Great tutorial! Just what I needed, thanks!
Thank-you sir, this was very helpful, yeah, the *Manuel* was really something. God Bless.
I have also posted a review of this + how to use...can u please tell me how's it?
Hi! I just bought it and want to use it as webcamera. Unfortunately after connecting to PC (win10) microphone doesnt work properly... it is detected but doesnt give any sound. Any idea?
Much appreciated. Thanks
For motion mode, do you press PoWER again after MODE 3 sec?
No, just press Mode for 3sec in 720 mode (blue) or 1080 mode (blue&red)
then the light will flash 3 times thats means motion detection is on.
Any key press after this will exit motion detection mode.

Hi. How to connect and play on mobile phone? What app to install?
Hi, you can't connect directly to the camera but you can use the micro sd card.
night vision?
Just press the power button for 2 sec and it will enter night vision. U can check the led with your phone camera.

hello,how to set this as pc camera?
I'm not sure you can
I wanna know if that camera works while charging, very important if you wanna do a long travel or a timelapse..Thanks for your answer and your videos.

Thanks I'll most attention in the next camera manual

No, no bluetooth unfortunately
Oh, so it just opening the on and off button.

Bad boy Bry Thanks!

ian kleinschmidt Hi just conennected 2 videos in premiere no noticeble skip when playing the transition.
thank you, dude!
This camera family seems ideal for a drone but useless as a nanny cam (battery life is too short). What external powerpack would keep this camera running (in motion detection mode) for 12 hours?
I use Anker
Also the menu seems different when it is plugged in?
Is this not ideal for a surveillance camera since it only records short periods of time?
It depends what you looking for this camera has many good things - it's small, has motion detection, and the recording continues for 1hour so you have all the Footage including the sound. On the other hand image quality is only ok not great. And battery life is only one hour. I have 3 micro cams and 3 action cams but this is the only camera I use for suvilance.
Thank you so much. The print in the manual it TOO SMALL!!!
Can you connect it to your phone?
& have live view while recording?
No for this you need the sq13
What about night vision mode?
+Gorilla Man Hi I created a basic guide for this camera .you can enter the night mode by pressing the power button for 2 sec, but it is grainy so i prefer not to use it.
Hi I am sorry to ask this question again but your reply to
Kim Freeman
"how do you make it work as Night vision Motion detection at the same time?" the answer does not appear where you deal with how to do it when it is not plugged into a USB.
Is it not automatic?
The only concern it lacks wifi.
Recommend any good mini wifi adaptor
+Mak Max WiFi adaptor will make it bigger, in that case I would go for the furibee H9R action cam. Or go for the runcam 2 which is expensive 80$.
Why is mine in 4.3 and no 1080p options, mine has only got blue or red light . Is mine a fake or am I doing something wrong thanks
Try to press the m button if doesn't change try to reset it. There are fake versions of this camera.
@@iTestVlog Thanks it's fake dont buy from banggood
hi this cam is automatic start when i start my car ? actually i use for my car dash cam and is it loop recording cam ?
Yes it's start recording, when it gets voltage. But I'm pretty sure it doesn't power off itself, it will shut down after the battery will drain - about an hour or less.
What do I need to do to update the date?
There is a txt file created on the micro SD card, just edit it to the right date with a simple text editor on your PC. You can also turn it off by replacing the "y" to "N" when editing it.
Great vid! Does it turn on + record when power applied from usb? Like ignition in car
Thanks
Yes it does
iTest Vlog Thanks!
I think I'll buy than 2 for dashcam purposes. Glue them back to back so back and front view. Cheers
I like your idea! mind that license plates are not so clear in this camera.
Can you use the motion detection mode in night-vision mode?
Yes it can do both at the same time. However when the 8 pin micro usb cable is plugged in while recording, it turns off the night vision. Power doesn't even have to be present for this to happen. I tried blocking ground pins 5 and 8 one at a time, worked until power was applied; so again a fail there. A bit of a bug i think.

So not sure I understand -- as long as it is NOT plugged in w power cable, what steps will put it into Night vision + motion detect filming?
YES!!! Thank you SO MUCH Simon Hare! Very grateful. I will try it out tongiht. Meanwhile, where can I get a copy of your clear English instructions?
All right? Did you test the recording time of the SQ12 battery? filming in 720p and 1080p?
+EDOD I was able to recommend a full hour in the 1080. I was pretty sure it won't last but on full battery it did.
how long are recording?????
Hi, it last 60 minutes and records 5 minutes clips.
iTest Vlog it cannot exceed 5min limit ??
You can record up to an hour non stop but the camera divide it to 12 clips.
iTest Vlog ohh ok thankyou
And what will be your opinion is it worth the money ??
Aviral Agarwal for the money it's ok as i said in the video the video quality is not great but considering its size and price it's good. also check my new video of the Hawkeye firefly micro camera it's has slightly better video but it's more expensive.
kind of sd card please 16 gb 64 gb they don't work ? is have to b 32 gb Minnie sd card ?
Micro SD up to 32GB
iTest Vlog thanks I appreciate your help
Does it have to be exactly 32gb? Because I use sandisk ultra 16gb and it does NOT detect my card.
No I use different cards sizes including 16gb and it works. Maybe try to format your card.
@@iTestVlog yeah, did that too. Tried to change it both to NTFS and FAT32, but no results. Strangely when I connect it to my laptop, it reads fine.
didnt understand one fucking thing with the manual that came. Google tranlsate cant even fucking help me. thanks for the vid!
tienen el video en español
siento, mi español no es lo suficientemente bueno.
Thanks man. It's manual is unnecessary long and complicated. And letters are microscopic.
te falto operar en modo leds ir Night Vision Camera saludos
angelvueladrones in any mode (720,1080, stills) press the power button for 2 seconds
Same for off
נחמד מאד בחור יקר. מה קורה כאשר המצלמה בתור מצלמת רכב , האם מתחילה לצלם אוטומטית ובאיזה מוד.
And what about the Infra Red (night) mode?
