Mini Body Camera, PORTOCAM P088 HD Pen Camera Recorder Portable Surveillance Video Recorder with Low Light Recording (No SD Card)

This device does not record audio. It has a microphone, but, apparently, the manufacturer no longer produces it with recording capability. It's totally useless to me without audio recording. Even with a 32 gb micro sd, which is purported by the seller to record for 5 hrs., it won't record more than 3 mins. before shutting down. If you wear it in your shirt pocket, all it will record is the ceiling to the left. Tried putting in between the buttons on my shirt, but still can't get a straight-on shot. It would help greatly if the camera would swivel. Seems the only way to get a good recording is by hanging it somehow from a pendant around your neck.More Chinese junk from Amazon.5/19/19 - Update:I have had this device for two more weeks and still it is not performing. It has now gone the way of my trash can. This is a piece of low-quality Chinese junk and Amazon is selling more and more of this worthless stuff. I'd be better of shopping at Walmart. I'll be getting the same thing, cheaper, and I can go get it now.I've already canceled my Amazon Card and, in the future, I will be more choosy about the products I buy from Amazon.

You have to format SD on windows. They do not tell you that on Amazon. I have no access to windows. I use Mac. My son got it to work but color and quality were poor.

Purchased for my kids. Because it is dangerous in our area. TKS!!!

The quality is ok... but it is a pen cam. It works as advertised, and it makes reasonable quality video.But if you are going to make a pen cam, it should fit in the pocket like a pen and film whats in front of you. I suppose if I was standing it MIGHT have been able to. But the first (and last) time I used it, I placed it in my pocket and got 25 minutes of video of the ceiling. The way it is made unless you shirt is pulled tight (which i don't want because people will see its not a pen) it tilts up in the pocket and you video of nothing.The electronics and usage are great... the suitability for the purpose... not so much. You can download a patch that will defeat the audio recording ban, so at east I got audio.

I think I got a defective unit because it just didn’t work right. I can see that it had the potential to be really cool, but I couldn’t get any sound in my recording and the picture quality wasn’t quite there. Also, I don’t know what I was expecting, but a portable cam in my pocket had trouble focusing on what (who) I wanted to record. Even taking that into account, the picture quality on this particular unit was poor. But, I repeat, I think my unit was defective. It was worth a try, though.“This product was provided at a discounted price in exchange for my honest review.”

Cheep quality.
