BOBLOV KJ21 1296P Body Camera with Audio and Night Vision, Body Worn Camera, Police Body Cameras Support Memory Expand Max 256G, Lightweight and Portable Video Recorder (64GB TF Card Included)

I've been using the body cam for a couple of weeks and I am pleasantly surprised by how tough the construction feels and the overall quality.I genuinely did not expect much for the price. I read reviews on several body cams and this seemed to be the best bang for the buck.First lets get something out of the way; This is not a 4K action cam (1080p max). There is no stabilisation. So if you're planning on buying this for downhill skiing, skydiving, parasailing, it's not for you.What it is good for (very good) is dog walking, security work such as Doorman etc. It's tough construction and, once you get used to it, ease of use, long battery life and some built in additional security features such as night light, motion sensor, proximity alarm make it a very useful tool.I've used it every day over the past 14 days and only had to charge it twice, it seems to get just over 6 hours of video recording time from a full charge. The video quality is very good for 1080p. The video doesn't seem to be heavily compressed, with little to no compression artefacts blurring details in the image.I'm not sure how well it would hold up in very wet condition but I have used it while it's been raining without any problems. I do have one concern regarding weather proofing and that is the SD Card slot is on the bottom of the device and doesn't have any type of sealed cover to protect it. I think if the rain was torrential and the wind was blowing wildly it may force water into the SD Card slot, This is why I only gave a 4 star rating instead of a 5 stars. My advice would be to place a bit of Duck Tape over the slot, or something similar.

The Boblov KJ21 1296P body camera arrived quickly and well-packaged the day after I ordered it. Also with it were a magnetic holder (see photo) and a 128GB micro SD card, both of which I had ordered separately.The instruction booklet that came with the camera was, imho, absolutely useless and I resorted to watching a video on a well-known website to see how to complete the set-up. Here are the problems I faced with everything 'straight out of the box':1. No indication in the instructions or on the camera about which way round the micro SD card goes into the slot on the camera. That can be a real nightmare if you guess wrong and get it stuck.2. No indication that the camera has to be set to 'on' for video sound (it is stupidly factory set at 'off'). I only found this out after scrolling through the menu following 30 minutes of footage which produced no sound.3. The icons on the camera buttons are impossible to see without shining a torch on them. Black, slightly raised icon outlines on a black background isn't exactly a clever idea.4. No instructions on how to properly insert the clip into the slot at the back of the camera. I eventually got there, though, by working it out for myself (see photo) - but should I have actually been made to...?5. The same clip is very difficult to press open to clip it onto the magnetic holder.6. Wearing the camera on a tee shirt with the magnetic holder in place makes the camera top-heavy when in use. Being that it is summertime at the moment, in which we are in the middle of a heatwave, I have not tried the set-up while wearing my overcoat.7. Scrolling through the camera's menu is slow and laborious, and operating the scrolling buttons is extremely fiddly with my fingers.8. Date can only be set to US-style (see photo, which shows 8 July 2022)Having got beyond the above negatives, here's the positives:1. The inaugural footage that I managed to take was of good colour and good clarity at 1080.2. I also took some footage indoors albeit on a very sunny day and the clarity was impressive.3. Footage can be played back through the mini screen on the back of the camera in the first instance, which I didn't know could be achieved when I ordered the camera. Perhaps that info was on the sales page and maybe I missed it. Either way, I like this idea.4. The 'bleeps and whistles' on the camera can be annoying but, to me, they are reassuring that things are working. I did try turning them off and I didn't think that was a good idea, so I turned them back on again.5. The camera seems to be of tough quality plastic, so I am hoping for a long and successful relationship with it.All in all, providing the camera lasts me for several years, I will not feel hard-done-by after spending a small fortune on this gadget and additional accessories. Initially I wanted it as security for when I am walking out and about but, I have also recognised a use for it when I am in the garden, to afterwards show family sceptics just how much work I do out there.Do I recommend this camera? Well, yes and no. If you have a use for this type of camera and you have the budget then 'go for it'. If not, well, it is what it is.

Lost the small clip and Boblov's service was great they identified the clip I needed and I just had to pay for the postage from USA to UK. Good service - Thank you

SD card is not working with body camera. Physical structure look good and changed it full and inserted the SD card and I got message SD card Initialise but it don’t show the capacity of the SD card. When I try to take photo or video it as me insert SD Card.I am not sure do I need returns both SD card and Body camera or just SD card or just Body camera…..☹️😔😔😫😫I was contacted by Customer support and they fixed my issue(send replacement SD card which work with Bodycam). Customer Support was in regular contact until the issue is fixed.
