Discovery Adventures HD Sports Action Video Camera 16M 1080p 1.5" LCD 30m Waterproof WiFi Remote Extreme Sport Helmet Cam 4X Zoom 150° View with Mount Accessories

The media could not be loaded.  I've had this camera since January. I purchased it to record video while riding my motorcycle following an accident. The video quality is passable, but at night (and even during the day) the chances of getting a readable license plate are slim. The box comes with a reasonable assortment of mounts and the build quality is not bad by any means. The app is not flashy, but it is functional. There is only one insurmountable problem: battery availability.Considering you get just over an hour of recording time on a charge, it is hardly sufficient for commuting. Gopro and SJ4000 batteries are all the same specs, but the battery dimensions for those cameras are 1-1.5 mm larger in every direction. I know this because I purchased multiple action camera batteries which looked like they would fit. There are no spare batteries available anywhere. I emailed Discovery product support and was informed that they do indeed make this camera (it's not a falsely branded counterfeit). Here's the exact email:Alexander,_________Thank you for contacting Discovery Products. We are sorry to hear you are having a difficult time finding batteries for your Discovery Adventures Action Camera. We are pleased to let you know that we are going to find and send you a battery! If you could please reply with your mailing address, we will be happy to get the battery to you as soon as possible.Sincerely,Amanda @ Products Discovery_________That was back on Feb 19, and I promptly supplied the requested information. I still haven't received any battery or further correspondence. This camera would be a really good deal for a workable budget action camera if there was a way to power it sustainably. As it is, my camera is next to useless because it needs to be plugged in for hours to capture an hour of riding.If you want a hobby camera for recording under water diving, ski-runs, parachuting, etc., this could serve your needs, but for travel logging or extended captures, look elsewhere.

I am having problems setting it up.

The media could not be loaded.  I know it sounds funny to call one of these cameras too small, but I'll explain why that is a potential issue.I've been testing out WiFi action cams for the past few weeks. This is the 3rd "entry level" Wifi one that I've tested recently. ($80-$100 range)Let's start out with the good. It does take pretty good video with the highest resolution being 1080p. I assume it is 30fps, but it doesn't indicate that. The field of view is OK at 150 degrees. I prefer a 170 degree, unless using it as a dash cam, then the narrower fov is nice.This camera will power up and start recording when connected via the micro USB power cord, which makes it a potential option for a dash cam.That leads me to what I don't like about this camera. - It will be harder to use as a dash cam, because it only comes with the waterproof enclosed case (which you cannot charge the camera while in that case) - It's size is smaller than the "standard" so trying to find a "clip in" case so that you can mount from either top or bottom will be harder. Even though it is smaller, the case is the only thing that you'll need to worry about, all of your other mounting accessories will work fine. - The screen is also small. I prefer the 2" screen and do have one that was in the same price range that I prefer much more over this one. - The WiFi and app. I could connect to the WiFi fine, but the app is way too complicated especially compared to the other cameras I've recently tested.I was having issues with the WiFi button on the camera causing the camera to freeze. I had to turn it off and on several times and remove the battery a couple of times to get it to work again. (Still can't figure out how to connect to the app)I have contacted the seller and he confirmed I was using the correct app DS Cam for iPhone, but I am not patient enough to try to figure it out.I did receive this product at a discount in exchange for my honest review and unfortunately that isn't always a positive experience.You can look through my other reviews to find the other cameras that I've recently reviewed.If this was helpful, please let me know by clicking yes/helpful below.Thanks,Travis
