There are 64bit drivers on the page just above the video

Took me an hour to figure out how to set the time, DON'T turn the camera ON at the base until AFTER you have placed the TAG.TXT file on the SD
card and unplugged the USB cable,and if you switch off at the base you have to do it all over again
Good camera though, amazing for £14.
Actually those drivers have been superceded by V2.02.004 (I Googled to find them on a drivers website) and they installed fine. The TAG thing nearly
got me, but I managed to figure it out.
Any chance of a link? Being the fashion victim I am, I only have slot loading Macs so I can't use the mini CD that the drivers come on

Just put one on You Tube.
Tried it between jobs yesterday,very poor light conditions, with heavy shadows and very low bright sun.
I also didn't screw the support rod into the suction cup fully, and the camera was pointing to the left a bit
I should point out that it comes with a bike mounting kit, that could be adapted for a 7, and a cigar lighter/USB adaptor and USB cable, this can be
used as a power supply to save the battery,although I left it running and it recorded 3hrs on battery
Just watched the video on You Tube, a lot of the quality has been lost in the upload and I must clean the windscreen

Thanks for posting the vid, good to see results. Infact I'm quite impressed at that quality for the price. May now treat myself to one.

Excellent! Did you use the hardware or software option? Any tips?

Software all the way.
Just follow the guide word for word, but in between stages I switched the camera off at the back, then back on before plugging in.

Has anyone else noticed quite a bit of RFI from the unit?
Stuck it into the Tintop today, and when running off the lighter socket, I noticed it started to "hiss" on the radio.
Might be that the reception is marginal in the area anyway.

Not ordering one myself, but i know a lot of people with the keyring cam it was compared to in the video review (clearly form the same manufacture)
and they have had some cracking footage with it.

first time i used it, 9 out of 13 files were corrupt and unreadable. Now its saying its 99% full, with no sign of anything on it.
I have a knack of falling out with technology!
Beware! Bourettes is binfectious.

Not got one myself, but I have heard that most items like this respond well to quality branded SD cards, not the cheap items from China. So may be a
reason why its failing on you?

Mine did that, seems to be the cheap SD card. I went into properties,tools,check disk and found a card full of corrupt files.
I have done a format, redone the time and it seems OK, it seems to have happened when the SD card filled up.
If it happens again I will try a quality card

I think it works ok with Amcap which I think is on the disc (I downloaded the software as I was putting it on a netbook and couldn't be bothered
looking for my DVD drive). You have to press the record button when it's plugged in but then it should show up as an option under
"devices" in Amcap. I only tried it briefly and I was able to change to the camera from the netbook's built in one.

I used the Amcap software on the 7Day website, works very well on Windows 7 64bit

My work area covers a 5 mile radius around Crystal Peaks, I live in New Whittington
Be nice to go for a blat anywhere, the MK is 10 years old in March and may/will/better be finished by the summer this year
