DELIVERY / CONSTRUCTION
The glasses come in a very light cardboard box and contains, besides the glasses a pair of transparent extra glasses, a glasses cleaning cloth, and a USB cable. A microSD card is missing and mus be ordered.
+> Comfort
o Black and transparent tinted sun glasses can be exchanged against each other; which is initially a bit fiddly to be noted that the glasses are extremely flexible and you only need the glass snap on both sides, with fairly by bending the glass, and then press the glass with your thumb to the desired position.
o the side of the right bracket is a big on / off switch, which is also when wearing gloves easy to use.
o At the bottom of the right bracket are each a slot for connecting the micro USB cable and insert the micro SD card. Both are closed with a rubber cap that out Pullen and then have to push aside. Is actually quite simple. That should but do alone at the table.
INSTALLATION
o the Manual is described quite scarce
+ Installation is fairly simple at first, for a good hour load first time the battery via USB Cable, put on the glasses and press the start button.
+ The CAM200 recognizes microSD card from SanDisk 32GB (call 10) without a murmur
PRO
++ Good picture, relatively little distortion, good viewing angle 135 °.
+ In low light, the camera shows some noise. You can optimize the camera's sensor characteristics but by setting various parameters in the config file. Admittedly this is not very comfortable, but at least one possible answer.
+ The video recordings show no stuttering or dropouts, ie the hardware is well with the HD video format cope.
o Backlit or laterally incident light make the image milky because can not stop visor mount
- The right bracket in which the battery is located, is both loading and when recording relatively warm. But do not worry, it will not be so bad that permanent damage is to be feared. Even the part about the nose, where the camera sensor is located, is slightly warm when shooting.
+ Recorded be MOV files that exactly 2.5GB in size and exactly 24 minutes and 59 seconds. So are 25 minutes rum, another MOV file is created UWS. Together makes good 5GB film per hour.
+ Lenses are made of plastic, but visually well crafted, they can really use as sunglasses - mirroring is bearable. However, one does not find information on the UV intensity. The change of glasses to fully transparent exchange glasses is easy. The camera to use as a SpyCam probably lies in a certain massiveness and of course the highly visible camera eye in the middle.
+ Battery life: in a number of experiments, the camera was repeated about 55 minutes by until she knocked out, but the film saved the Pictures neatly until the end.
- A recording with the USB cable connected is not possible. Here convinced rather the GoPro, which I can run with battery USB pack until the SD card is full.
o the audio signal is good with low noise - but only with no wind and wind the sound is completely useless. Here, however, the GoPro has the same problem.
CONTRA
- To start recording, you have to hold the record button press to a flash 4x beep. The switching takes so loose time 5-10 sec., That is not for the quick fixes. In Stop the camera by pressing the start button, the camera schlatet again completely.
- A photo feature would have been nice
- Sound power on / off is a high frequency signal that some sensitive contemporaries hard going in the ears and can be heard for the environment.
- The recording format for the sound is indeed 32kHz stereo, but in fact is just a microphone at the bottom of the right temple. The micro is extremely susceptible to wind
CONCLUSION
When times offsets the small defects to the price, there remains just the comfort offered by the camera. It is unbeatable anywhere where I want to record quickly and with minimal effort a video. No tripod, no self-adhesive mounts. But for image control -. What you see is what you get almost all the time You look through the viewfinder.
Apart from the few features of the camera then is still one drawback: the width of the glasses of 14cm should be observed, otherwise it can be tight!
