Keychain Spy Cam Revisited - Setting Date/Time Stamp, Charging, SD Card

After my last review of the key chain spy camera product line I walked away with a really bad taste in my mouth, I think it was cheap memory...

Upon inspection and testing for the new SD Card model I have to say that it's starting to small like roses up in here. A few people still complain about the lack of overall quality but they are definitely heading in the right direction.

With the addition of the sd card slot and removal of the crappy memory this little unit is really starting to shine. I carry one on my key chain now and it's been very handy. I only use it once in awhile and the charge seems to hold for a long time.

The only two problems that I have experienced thus far are that when charging the unit it never shows a complete charge. The other problem is that I bumped my unit and it ejected my 2gb memory card which I never found, be careful about that guys! You could place a small piece of electrical tape over the memory card to keep from loosing it.

Overall I have to give this item a good review, much better than the old ones!




Charging: plug it in to your usb without the sd card in slot, orange light will turn off when charged.

Time/Date Stamp Fix: create a .txt file on your desktop called TAG.txt open the file and paste the code below, adjust time and date to current.

Save the file and copy it to your camera's root folder. Turn camera on, turn camera off, turn camera on and shoot video. Your date and time should work now.

Battery Life: it takes FOREVER to charge this unit and the battery is estimated to last for 60-90 minutes of recording.

8GB Spy Key Chain Review

My original video review of this product isn't very nice.

The original units that had the memory built in are terribly unreliable and often end up in the garbage.

The newer SD Card models work much better, my new review of the sd model is here.
