You could always " downgrade" to a 1080 resolution version @ £99...

Got this off fleabay £23.50 smaller version of the sj4000, 2 batts for claimed 3hrs recording and uses the same fittings as GoPro etc. Easy menu to scroll through with plenty of setting options the firmware is Sjcam.

Helmet/Dash Cams are bought for one of 2 reasons..

1/ To record and show off ones hair raising exploits and bore ones friends and family!!
2/ To record evidence of an incident or in an accident.

In the second case they need to be good enough and mounted in such a way to be able to read the reg numbers..

I am not too keen on helmet mounts as they may become an issue if you fall on them..

I was nearly clobbered twice in 20 seconds on Saturday and my trusty Gopro recorder the reg plates quite clearly (play in HD).

Good Job I dont suffer from Road Rage....

I decided against going for something attached to my helmet, and went for glasses with an inbuilt camera. It seems the logical place to have a primary camera.

I had a look around, and didn't find anything on Amazon or the helmet cam vendors that I liked - so took a gamble on AliExpress.

I got these, and am very happy except for 1 thing:

I even got the seller to include a set of clear lenses for free - although they didn't arrive with the first order and he had to send them after (my mistake also - I didn't see the 16gb card in the first delivery, he sent a 2nd and then I found the first in the packaging..oops).

My only complaint is that, like many Chinese camera products, once the memory is full, it doesn't loop. I have to remember to delete every couple of days.

They're no longer available though, but others are out there:

Spotted these:

Nice clear film. Not so nice when you tried to kill that young girl.

Finally figured out how to put front and rear cams together. The rear is brilliant at reading number plates...

Can you control / setup this camera from a smart phone app? If so, is the app any good? I had a look on the App Store and it looked poor.

How did you do this? What software?

Its a free trial that puts a watermark on the film until you buy it.
It took me a while to figure out the front and back on one film, but once sorted it wasnt too hard.
I know how to remove the watermark if you want a better try before buying, and if you want any tips please PM me..Phill
