hi once you record how do u show the Recording to Police for example as I need this for evidence gathering
@@caroljones4511 You have to remove the SD card and copy the file to your computer.
@@nothingbutgadgetssmiling I am so sorry and I hope this doesn't sound like a dumb question but how do u copy it to your computer?
@@nothingbutgadgets Does the SD card go inside my Laptop?
@@caroljones4511 you will need an a MicroSD card reader or an adaptor. You can also connect the camera to the laptop directly using a USB cable and download the files that way.
Thanks for this review. I like the outdoors "road test" comparing the Boblov with smartphone footage, and that you go into some technical details about its utility. It's giving me some ideas for my channel...
Glad you liked it!
I’m a security guard at a club also some sketchy ass apartments, and I wear this on my vest, if/when have to defend myself the footage this shoots will really help me in court.
Thank you for commenting @tylergonzales4220!
Hey How good is the audio?
Amazing quality for the price... thanks for review 👍
Great review . Thanks
Hi, thanks for such good explanation on this item. will this camera have a good angle to catch full body and face if hanging from the belt or waist or if standing next to a person? Tank you very much
Thank You Sir for this review... Amazing job.
My pleasure. So glad you enjoyed it.
My lawyer down at the law offices of Bob Loblaw Law says a body cam like the Boblov can be handy for recording evidence.
Thank you for commenting
The bodycam looks crystal clear so much crisper than s8
👍
s8 as in Samsung Galaxy s8 phone?
Wow the video looks really good outdoor
Thank you for commenting
Thanks for your review, very helpful
My pleasure. Glad it helped
I’m looking for a body camera I can use on walks in case something crazy goes down like crazy dogs, crazy drivers, crazy people…. It’s a crazy world. Would you suggest this, an action camera, or a police/security guard type of body camera? Usually walk at night under street lights. Thanks
This would work for that as long as the walks were not long walked. Remember it has an internal battery that only lasts so long.
It is very frustrating how neglected this bodycam market is. They can absolutely make a great 2k camera with very good stabilization and dynamic range, but for some reason no one does.
I agree, but I think the issue is price. How much would such a device cost to produce? I think the best and smallest camera you are gonna get with stabilization is a GoPro or GoPro Max. There may be others but none of them are gonna be as cheap as $50.
@@nothingbutgadgets I am not too sure about the cost of production. It may have been an issue some years ago, but in today's market, it should be a pretty straightforward thing to produce in 2021/22. Camera sensors are cheap, memory is not expensive. Stabilization is no longer an issue, it is largely done by a programmable chip. The only issue maybe all of that in a rugged form, shock resistance, and mud/water resistance. But even then, I don't see why wouldn't they be able to produce something that is close to military-grade but with a higher price tag. Even if it costs 200-400$, but it seems like there is literally nothing but cheap stuff. Some of these devices shouldn't even cost as much, they really should cost below 50$. I don't know, I really think this market sector is neglected.
@@jupitereye4322 Have you thought about just using an older version of a smartphone? Something like the Samsung Galaxy S8 Active. That phone takes amazing 4k video and has really good stabilization. Sure it is bigger, but you can get one for under $100 off eBay. I have several that I use for B-roll footage in my videos.
@@nothingbutgadgets I have of course, and that seems to be a decent solution I guess. The battery is not as good of course, especially because the screen is on the whole time, the batteries themselves are a bit older. But, I think perhaps the next generation of smartphones would make the current ones obsolete, which would then make a decent option for bodycams. I may just take your advice and buy something on eBay, that seems to be a good idea.
I did a review of the Akaso V50 Pro Action camera for my other channel a while back. In this review I demonstrate the stabilization of the S8 active in comparison with the V50 Pro. It is a pretty thorough review but it should give you and idea about how it performs. th-cam.com/video/SuYlNNNd9D0/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for sharing , I thought that the picture quality was crisper than the smartphone even if the color was not as good.
Thank you for commenting
don't know if you are still monitoring this video. Thanks for the review of this little camera. Did you also get to try it indoors during the daytime with normal house lights on?? Not looking for one that does in complete darkness. Just wondering how grainy the picture gets indoors during the day at 1080p. Also comparing this to my other small cameras I have. Most these cameras work pretty well outdoors. Price also looks good.
Anyway, thank you for your video and take care.
Low light video is going to have significant artifacts on this camera due to the small sensor size. But this is going to be true of any small camera. It is a law of physic thing. The only way to improve low light performance is by increasing the sensor size, which cannot be done on tiny devices like this.
Thanks for showing how to use the bodycam sir...I might buy it
Happy to help
Mine has fallen off my motorcycle twice and still works!
Good to hear
My reason for acquiring a camera of this sort is for a time when you have an encounter with a scumbag. If you have to use self defense, then you have a measure of proof if self defense was necessary. It's not that important, for me, how good the camera records, as long as it is clear enough to record video if a situation goes to court.
It will do that for sure.
Just make sure you deal with him swiftly, because this only lasts for 1hr 😂
If using it to record a zoom meeting (for a class) and is charging, will it only record for 2 hours? Or can it last longer if is plugged in a computer?
Yes. If you connect it to external power and have a big enough SD card, it will record for two hours.
Does anyone know which are the best options for camera's u don't want to faff around holding with a selfie stick, I just want one that records the scenery as as I run etc.
Check out this video here and see if this is more to your liking. th-cam.com/video/w9XF0UHs3lA/w-d-xo.html
Is there a video anywhere that reveals how you can watch what you recorded?
I don't know of a video, but there are two ways you can do it. You can take the MicroSD card out and use a reader to view the videos on a PC, or you can connect the camera to a PC using the USB cord and view the videos that way. Hope this helps.
@@nothingbutgadgets thank you
The instructions that cam with the one I bought say 64card max, it came with a 32card but I bought a 128 card since on amazon it says you can, I installed the 128 card seems to work, so not sure why the instruction leaflet says max 64gb card?
It is hard to say. Many times they just go with a lower number to stay in the safe zone.
Hey I have a question... we have neighbours who play drums badly we have to get evidence of this we need a cam with mic which will record their noise in our apartment we also need it WiFi do you. Know what we can use please our iPads don’t pick up the true noise it also needs date and time stamp is that a big ask?
I think something like this might to the trick: #ad amzn.to/3gZiAHJ
You never really talked about connectivity, where do you view the video play back from how reliable the connection is, software is it user-friendly if it’s used with phone what’s the Wi-Fi connectivity timing is like?... etc. 🤷🏻♂️
W1 can not support wifi function.
How was it at night?
@@Edpalomares54 As I said in the video, this is not really a body camera as much as it is a mini spy camera. It has no night vision function, so it is not usable in the dark.
Can it be used while charging? Such as using attached to external battery.
Yes
Would this be OK for a magician performing card tricks, would the angle be OK as close up
As long as there is good lighting, it would would probably produce acceptable results.
Much appreciated bud👍👍
Trying to get video of card tricks for my channel but without camera man quite difficult so thought about body cam
Will it record sitting still or do you have to be moving for it to record..Thank u
No movement is necessary for it to record. It records until you stop it, the battery dies, or the card fills up.
@@nothingbutgadgets Thanks alot
Do you know of a voice activated head mounted video camera?
The Akasa Brave 6 Plus has voice activation. th-cam.com/video/w9XF0UHs3lA/w-d-xo.html
It's a great little camera for the price and good quality video and audio. The only down side is the clips. It seems the only way to attach the camera is to wear a shirt or jacket with a breast pocket. It would be good if it came with some sort of spring clip capable of attaching the camera anywhere on clothing.
👍
Is there a way that you can lock recorded videos?
Not that I know of.
How do you download the video after you get the video recording on that?
You can connect it directly to a PC with the U#B cable, or you can take the card out and ready it in a Micro SD card reader.
body cam footage is better than your Galaxy footage. also most body can footage is from a standing position not a walking or running situation.
Even though this is sold as a body cam, and can be worn on the body, due to the limited battery life and lack of video stabilization, I would not consider it a true body cam. This is not to say that is not a great little camera for what it is. It performed surprisingly well in my test.
@@nothingbutgadgets I came up with similar conclusion. For the cost it performed very well. Only thing i didn't like was the switch to activate rather than a press to activate button. Cheers
It's a good body cam though but it have been great if this camera has stabilization even if it's a software stabilization.
I agree
You need to cover setting up the camera. I will cut to the quick ~ junk.
This is a review video. I generally do setup videos separately.
does it have night vision and supports working while charging?
It does not have night vision. It can be used while charging.
No stabilization is a deal breaker for me as I plan to run and possibly defend myself. Thanks for the video.
A small GoPro would be better but not as small
@Big_Dbo Yeah, I've been eyeing that, but I think it's very limited on battery life.
@@waynebeck7801 Too big for me, but thanks.
Have you seen this review. It still have no stabilization, but much better battery life. I just wish the video quality was better.
th-cam.com/video/Rm6udJARDeA/w-d-xo.html
How easy is it to quickly turn recording on and off?
Just turn it on.
Ok i keep the volume up for music but that intro almost murdered my ear drums that volume
Were you using earbuds? I find that people that use earbuds are the ones that have this issue more often than not. I use a professional set of Audio-Technica earphones to set the volume level of the video and I test it out on a PC, Smartphone, and smart-TV, to make sure the audio is good for those platforms.
These super high-quality noise-canceling earbuds that people use these days are very hard to adjust for. They are great for listening to music, but I would suggest not using them for TH-cam videos.
thanks
You're welcome. Glad it helped.
Out of all the videos I watch this one loads the slowest even if watching other shows fast . I have yt premium too
That is crazy. I wonder why?
Is there a phone app that you can connect the camera to
Unfortunately, no there is not.
@@nothingbutgadgets ok thx
What about specs, battery life, etc.
The specs are listed on the sale page at: amzn.to/34rjjuw #ad.
I talk about the battery life in the video. Go to this minute to see this: 6:26
I want to record without attracting attention, like those youtubers who just walk the street, which camera is best for this?
You can use this camera or any camera for that, but I will caution you, it is not as simple as they make it look. Taking video of people and posting it online without their permission can land you in a heap of trouble. It carries a lot of liability and opens you up for lawsuits. Be very careful doing that.
@@nothingbutgadgets Thanks, didnt know that.
How do you live stream?
Sorry. This device does not have that capability.
Download from a card or wifi?
I always download for the card.
So when you turn it on it automatically starts to record?
Yes.
Use blutooth or wifi?thank
Neither one.
"its not good for wearing and walking and stuff like that" - you mean the exact things a bodycam /should/ be good for.... :) I'm still considering one of these as to be honest there all pretty poor on stabilization at this price.
I personally would consider this more of a spy cam than a body cam. Body cams are meant to be worn all day for work. This camera has an internal battery that does not last that long. It may be called a body cam, but I don't consider it to be one.
I just bought this. I wish you had shown how to set it up. I am reading the instructions. I can't get the "TF card," memory card in. It just won't take. I wish you had shown how to do this. You just went from unboxing to use while skipping that part.
It uses a Micro SD card. It will only go in one way. If your camera is not taking the card. It may have a damaged micro SD card slot.
@@nothingbutgadgets Update: it did go in. Due to my inexperience I didn't realize that inserting the memory card is a two-step process: 1. Push the card in until you feel resistance. 2. Then take a small tool like a blade or other small tool and push on the card until you feel resistance and it will pull the card all the way in. I didn't realize that this was two-step.
Glad you got it in.
How do you format a SD card
You have to do this in your computer before inserting into the camera.
You didn't test the clip? Pops right off the camera when you clip it to anything bigger than a tshirt. Would probably pop off that too, eventually, with very little effort.
I had no trouble with it during my testing.
can it record 60fps?
Unfortunately it cannot. It only records in 1080P at 30fps
Our factory is also a body worn camera manufacturer and hope we can have a cooperation.
Please contact me at this address: nothinbutgadgets@gmail.com
I've got one of these and the audio is so quiet. Anyone else have this experience?
I found my audio to be quite loud. Have you checked to see if the is something clogging the tiny mic hole?
@@nothingbutgadgets I did suspect that the plastic moulding might be obstructing the mic hole. Thanks for the reply
@xtrmst_01 No, I opened it up, removed the microphone and drilled the hole slightly larger but it made no difference. Must be a fault in manufacture. Shame as picture is good.
It's for how much??
50 bucks
23 now
Thank you for commenting
The phone is more stable where as the body cam is shaky!
👍
How the hell do you see the recordings????
You have to download them to a computer.
Boblov look similar go pro 7
Thank you for commenting
Do you think these bodycams will help 1st amendment auditors in their duties ?
I used a different Boblov model in one of my audit videos recently - they seem to be good when you're not moving much, but if there is a lot of action such as walking/running then you can expect some pixellation and colour shift in the images.
Maybe
there is no audio in video mode, and there is video in audio mode….it’s suck
Sounds like it is defective. I would contact Boblov about it.
