Buy this item at my on the web shop frankstechhelp.blogspot.com Check out my BlogSpot for more information on this video frankstechhelp.blogspot.com Here’s a excellent site that has a ton of info for these keychain cameras, thanks to Optic212 for the information! www.chucklohr.com Charging: plug it in to your usb without having the sd card in slot, orange light will turn off when charged. Time/Date Stamp Fix: create a .txt file on your desktop known as TAG.txt open the file and paste the code below, adjust time and date to existing. [date] 2010/05/23 14:00:00 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. ————– Hollrobb submitted some great directions on the important functions, thanks! I have 1 aswell, with sdSlot. To turn on ,hold the rear button for the count of 2 then release , it will flash a few times then stay ON,To take a single picture, push front button 1 brief push and the light will flash off then back on ,having created 1 picture. To take video, Hold down fornt button for a couple seconds then release, it will flash 3 times then go out, at that point its recording video, to quit video record, push front button until the light comes on and relase, now in stand-by. ————— ggonzale69 Thin-plastic hollow sound: Just like any very good DIY-er… Hot glue is your

  5. streamlight2 says:

    I play back video using windows media player and it shows that it uses about 11mb of space for a 30 second video, is there a way to decrease the storage space used?

  6. TheSolheim94 says:

    is there a way to goth new mounts to the cam? mine sucked and god broken the first da… so i need now (better if possible) mounts. help

  7. balletjegehakt says:

    i got mine today, picture quality isnt bad but the mounts are terrible. I clicked the cam in once and when i pulled it out it broke.. so the mounts are useless.

    Im gonna put the cam with velcro on my helmet to make vids :)

  8. J3dheadAnimation says:

  9. balletjegehakt says:

    lol $39,99 pretty decent. You can get them for 10 bucks nowadays :)

  10. kyleo54 says:

    how can you tell it fully charged>>?

  11. FranksTechHelp says:

    @johan340 I’ve never been able to tell but you should charge it for around 2-3 hours from a dead state.

  12. johan340 says:

    Do you know how one see when the battery is fully charged? There is nothing in the manual from what I can see and the seller haven’t answered my mail.

  13. FranksTechHelp says:

    @YeCannyDaeThat Aye, I love bonnie Scotland, never been there but it’s my family history.

  14. YeCannyDaeThat says:

    Scotland flag! yay!

  15. RobBottin says:

    I think I saw Steve McGarrett standing on a balcony!

  16. tvloserDK says:

    First off when I tried my md 80, it wouldn’t record anything, just ignored me! After 1 hour I realized I had to press incredibly hard before it reacted! Very annoying…

  17. rabola55 says:

    Where is the time stamp?

  18. lanachen100 says:

    I bought one on 19dollarpro,It is only $15.99

  19. FranksTechHelp says:

    @theaussiegeek Go to my channel and in the search box type in MD80 and you will find videos on setting that date, time and more.

  20. theaussiegeek says:

    @FranksTechHelp All cool worked on Mac thanks. i am more am having trouble working out the translation to english side and how the hell you work out the modes, including setting the date and time. Did you get work it out :D

  21. FranksTechHelp says:

    @theaussiegeek I will make a video if really need it but all you have to do is plug it into your Mac and then drag and drop the files. Let me know though and I will make a video.

  22. theaussiegeek says:

    frank just got same mini dv camera, can you do a video review on getting the footage off onto you mac… taa

  23. zettasys says:

    Zetta Z11 is good and small and long lasting (8 hours), see video on youtube.

  24. FranksTechHelp says:

    @quitegail It could be a bad unit or a cheap memory card, what type of card are you using?

  25. quitegail says:

    I am running window7 the footage quality is really bad on the camera can you help just my luck to receive a bad camera

  26. chrishouchins49 says:

    I have never owned a digital camera of any kind so pls bare with me. I got my 808 keychain cam and knew it didn’t come with a memory disk . The instructions that came in Chinese and Eglish both didn’t make sense to me- question- once I insert an sd card where do I go from there? Do I plug it into my computer and then somehow I’ll be prompted for time,date,ect. When I finally do figre how to record do I just USB it into my system and then presto? I simply didnt understand instructions. :(

  27. gewizz2 says:

    i just got mine to power up. its not easy. try resetting it but it worked wen i plugged in usb then wen led came on i unplugged it and it now works but i just need 2 know how 2 change date time on pics. but thew video quality and camera are very good which is suprizing. im gunna use it 4 all my rc stuff. helicopter first bcoz thats all what works lol.

  28. markhorneyuk says:

    I’ve had mine for about 12 months now, it has only locked up twice, I left it alone till the battery ran out completely and then, I connected the usb up to re-charge it, works fine if that ever happens again, at least I know what to do.

    The only thing I hate with it, is the date and time, which many will agree, is a bastard to change, every device of the same model is different of resetting it and I still haven’t got anywhere.

    By the way, I got this item on ebay uk for £6 from hong kong……

  29. FranksTechHelp says:

    @kellygwdobbs Sorry, look in the description, I screwed up and added it later.

  30. itsruw says:

    @FranksTechHelp Gosh, are u retarded or what? I dont like the plastic sound, i dont like this and that. What the hell?! This little thing costs 9$. In words, nine fucking bucks! If u want higher quality u gotta pay for it (or move to Scotland). Welcome to life idiot! And then, how u try to be important, its ridiculous. “Oh well, he tried to change MY mind” Yea, fuck off and go play with your 8 years old friends. Seriously, EPIC FAIL!

  31. HamBrosOutdoors says:

    what if when charging it the light is just flashing and when i unplug it i cant get it to come on help?

  32. kellygwdobbs says:

    Errr – excuse me but didn’t your title say about changin the Date/Time stamp on the 808? Can you please post something about how to do this. The little leaflet which came with the camera explains a bit, but I couldn’t get it to change. Cheers.!

  33. DwainDCP says:

    I have that 2nd camera that you have. It stills freezes as what happens to the first one. It stays on and off when the battery depletes, when i charge it on its usb port, when i remove it, it stays on forever!

  34. namqua123 says:

    great review! thanks!…..

  35. dhruvad911 says:

    Miine had the same issue, it would freeze with the light on after being charged, so the firsttime that happened i just left it to run out, then i worked, s i charged it again for an hour, came back and the light stayed on, so i was waiting for hours for the batterey to die out again, and i was looking all over the nternet, then while watching this video, u reminded me of the reset button, i tried it and mine works! Thank You so Much!

  36. bosshogindog says:

    you get what you pay for!

  37. FranksTechHelp says:

    @zandamandag Plug the camera into the rear USB port of your computer, it has more power for charging, also try a new cable, the one that comes with it is not very good.

  38. zandamandag says:

    can anyone help me how can i say that the camera is charging ??/

    why when i turn off the camera then i connect it to the usb and un plug it it is not turning on??

  39. FranksTechHelp says:

    @x20ax29a If you have other info on the card then that could be the problem, they don’t play nice with other data.

  40. x20ax29a says:

    @FranksTechHelp I will give that a try

    My card works though, I use it for my cell and i got some other stuff on it. I will move it out and format it and see if it works.

  41. FranksTechHelp says:

    @x20ax29a you might try reformatting the card and see if it works right after that.

  42. x20ax29a says:

    Hi

    Everything is working here but the files are not saving in the micro SD.

    Please Help

    Thanks

  43. WCMTesting says:

    It was working fine for a while and now it records for only 5 seconds and then stops recording. Any way to fix this…. ?

  44. Dracar70 says:

    Oggetto: Batterie x Car Keys 808?
    Salve, vi scrivo dall’italia per chiedervi una grossa cortesia.
    Qualcuno saprebbe aiutarmi a rimediare le batterie per questa microcamera mod. “Car Keys 808″?
    Ve ne sarei molto grato visto che ho alcune micro inutilizzabili (guaste dopo neanche un mese).
    Comunque vada, colgo l’occasione per inviare un mio saluto a tutti voi.
    Grazie anticipatamente.

  45. FranksTechHelp says:

    @intercoolervr4 If you are using USB from computer to charge then the light may not turn off when charged, mine acts same way. But if i use USB wall charger the light goes off on wall charger unit when charged. It is normal I think for charging on computer for light not to turn off.

  46. intercoolervr4 says:

    I have 1 unit this spy cam.I think i have a problem with this spy cam battery.When i charging battery, after a few hours..The yellow light still flashing.
    It should be automatic light off when battery full charging..
    Any ideo of this prob?
    FranksTechHelp: Can u tell my a solution?
    Others any idea?

  47. harrymedan says:

  48. FranksTechHelp says:

    @Penya666 Thanks very much, feel free to share it with your friends!

  49. Penya666 says:

    Thank you! And the music is great! :)

  50. FranksTechHelp says:

    @Penya666 It’s from my solo music project. The song it titled “Dreaming” and you can download it for free. Look on my channel for The NISH Project, under my main video, and then download it from my reverb nation page for free.
