This item looks a lot better than the Vievu2 Body Worn Camera (with very limited time recording), is it possible to somehow make it so it is wearable?

It does have 2 of the screw holes on the top and bottom that the windshield mount it comes with as well as any standard camera mount or tri-pod fits into. You could utilize that somehow. I have had mine for 8 months now and I love it. Great price for a great dash cam.

It is designed to be plugged into a vehicle power supply rather than run on its own battery, so you would have to rig an external 12 volt supply. Otherwise, it should work. The videos are in short files (a couple of minutes long) that would have to be combined. Also, the size of the micro sad you buy would have to be pretty big as it overwrites when it gets full ( designed as a continuous black box record).

It has threaded mounts on top and bottom that are compatible with a regular camera tripod. With a little creativity you could mount it to a bicycle helmet. the problem would be the control buttons are on the back of the camera.

It has a standard camera female mount on the bottom and top (like used to mount a camera to a tripod), so finding a body mount wouldn't be hard. The difficult part will probably be powering it as the camera relies on an external 12 volt power source, not an internal battery.

I think you would be better served having the cam reproduced via 3D printer, as already noted. A small cam could be "handcrafted" from a larger item.

I think there are much better cameras for the money, unless waterproof is really important to you. And at this point, if I had it to do over, I'd buy the new inexpensive go-pro model instead. I find the photos to be meh at best. And the video performance is only okay. The underwater is good, but only so useful.

Yes. Send it back right away. The camera is faulty. Other than that, just to be absolutely sure go into camera settings and reset all to default before you make a final decision.

I agree with j-rob. Does anyone know how the newer model (HDR-XR500V) performs in low-light situations? They claim the Exmor-R sensor helps with these situations. It's too bad there's no easy or cost-effective way to upgrade. I'm not in the position to spend another $1k+ for a new camcorder that handles low-light.

It can be difficult. You will have to shade it with your hands. It is like trying to read your cell phone outside. I still love the camera though.

Absolutely. The color is not the same though, If you are paring it with the white foscam. Hope it helps.

Sorry, I can't offer any feedback, but I found it funny that someone else is having the same dilemna with the same 2 cameras. So I will also be intersted in hearing any input as well. Is the video capability really worth it?

Daytime photos/video are great. However, night time would be a problem...the quality is not good.... I would not recommend it for that purpose.....hope I helped answer your concerns...

Dear customer,this is greeting from Loftek. If you want to use the audio,i suggest you install a output audio at the back of the camera,there is a hole there as you can see.

I don't know, James, because we sent the camera back! Something that only records for 10 seconds when it activates was not what we needed. We got a netcam instead! Goggling the camera model doesn't turn up anything?

I have only used mine once. I am finding it is kinda a joke to use. I would love to return it. Or even sell it.. But other then that it is good for someone who loves to take photos from afar.

S. Albert - I was thinking the same thing - taking the laptop and Minoru webcam out and capturing something interesting (more interesting than my face). But when going through the reviews, a few people have said that the picture gets overexposed easily and it works much better indoors. That's the only reason I'm hesitating to buy this thing. Hopefully they'll get it fixed soon -- someone mentioned that it was possibly just a software fix.

You could record it if you had a screen capture program. You would almost have to have a PC dedicated just for that and some really huge hard drives. When I used to record on my old camera (wired) It would go through a terrabyte drive pretty quickly. So even if you did do that, much time would need to be dedicated to reviewing the footage at fast speeds. It can take hours every day to do that. I personally think its worth the cost to be able to see the markers on the cloud recording and to be able to check it on my phone.
