Hoping for some assistance please. My PC doesn't seem to be recognizing the device so when I got to set the clock I'm getting a 'No USB Media Found!' message. The micro card is certainly in enough. Any ideas?

Have you tried a different cable?

The unit is charging ok so I don't think it's the cable.

You may only have a power cable, not a data cable. It's the same with some mobile phones, the cheaper, power only cables are supplied with car-kits.

I'd love to play with this for a while, can anyone recommend a good site to get it from. Do they all come from China?

Haven't seen the ad myself but apparently theres a small ad in the sunday business post today from a chancer in Midleton selling what sounds exactly like these little guys for the bargain price of 99 euro

Thats some mark up Its hard to see anyone parting €99 for one of these.

I bought from http://www.buyincoins.com/key-chain-spy-camera-camcorder-dv-dvr-tf-card-product-1311.html
€8.73, it's a #3, according to this site http://www.chucklohr.com/808/, it's the best one!
I bought two, planning on buying more, I recommend it highly! Arrived in... 12 days? Maybe 11?
Seems to be cheaper other places, but I'm going to buy a couple more from that site, now that I know it (and hope, still is!) #3s they're selling!

Did they both come in working order? A lot of the #3 sample videos I've seen seem to be out of focus, and then there are some that look amazingly sharp.

Got mine this morning. Does anyone know if there's a manual online (or can email me one), or just tell me what each button does ?

I assume it has to be charged via USB first ?

Has anyone found the sound can nap in and out? I've found during playback there's an occasional crackle and the volume of the audio drops right down.

http://cgi.ebay.ie/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320524053109

I have purchased two from this seller, both version #3.

Plug into PC/Laptop to charge.

Unplug from PC/Laptop. Orange light *stays on*. Unit is on.

Switch on unit from off. Rear button press until light on. Unit is on.

---

User choice: Front button - press (until 3 blinks then release) to record video.

*NOTE* Light is OFF during video recording. *NOTE*

User choice: Front button - two quick press to take photo.

Rear button press until single blink or light off.

Unit is off.

You should not have to take the MicroSD card out and transfer it to a card reader.

They do nothing. If you open your Key Fob up, you'll see there's nothing underneath to press.

I appear to have knackered mine. Power light stays on & the SD won't show up in finder (mac). Bugger.

Have you pressed the reset button? If that doesn't work try a different micro sd card.
