I just received mine from Walmart -- it is the *underwater* version with the camera in a clear underwater case/cage [plastic, of course]. The brand I bought is "Lixida." I paid $14.09 (pus tax) for it. It came with 5 brackets/holders and the charge/TV-out cable you showed and the same manual. Thanks for this review.
Haha definitely upscaled I don't even think from 720p probably more like 480p. Cute and cheap though! How was the lag while using it as a webcam? Noticeable? Great review!
Thanks for watching :) when I just plugged in and used the camera app in windows 10 it seemed pretty decent minimal lag hope that helps but I did not actually use it for skype calling or anything like that.
For those of you who think that the night vision LED's aren't working: Get your smart phone and turn the video camera on. Point the SQ12 at your cell phone video camera and turn the LED's on. You should be able to see them on the screen of your cell phone. NOTE: I have not tried this with an SQ12, so I can't confirm if it works. I have done this with my TV Remote Control - it works for that. Maybe someone here can confirm this?
I think the night vision on both is very similar the SQ11 has more night vision lights to performs abit better but I personally much prefer the SQ12 because of its wider field of view and looks much better.
Good review. How much recording time on a full recharge before the battery dies? I had the sq11 and would only be able to get 15 minutes of footage before the battery ran out. Thanks.
Hello, I have a question, do you know how to enable motion detection in this camera when it is permanently connected to the power supply? I would like to record only when someone enters the room. Because now when I connect it to power it immediately starts recording in 5 minutes movies. Thank you for your help.
HeliosStudio Thanks :-) I did try to put it into this mode but it kept going into night vision mode I was probably doing something wrong I will try and test again soon I might make a video on it if its requested alot. Thanks
Yes, that's right. I can't set a date or time. Even if I change one digit it stays the same. The code is this: "20180115235959 Y". So the stamped date and time is this: "2018/02/17 18:54:42". The only thing I got right is the "Y" which stands for the file being stamped, or "N" for not.
Hi I'm having the same problem no matter what I do saving it, replacing it etc the date and time just revert back as Ivan Alexandrov explain below. Any suggestions anyone please?
The night vision light isn't visible to your eyes shows up on camera for some reason. Maybe you could see it faintly, the battery lasts for about 40-50mins
Derren Mead Not necessarily they are both good camers I do prefer this one. The main reason I like it more is the wider field of view. Other then that your not missing out on alot. It is better then the SQ11 in my opinion.
Love your reviews and demos. When it's turned off with a memory card inside, plugging the camera to a power source automatically makes it start recording right?
Hello. I was wondering if there is any risk ti receive a fake SQ12. Is that link sure? Somewhere I read that the original SQ12 Is sold with waterproof case
The lights are for night vision and can't really be seem with the naked eye. I think its a weal infrared if my memory is correct. I wouldn't recommend this for security its more a toy or for fun.
@The D Show Hi. Someone has been scratching my car and I need a camera like this. Please tell me: 1) How large in size and in time are the clips resulting from motion detection? 2) In motion detection mode, the battery should last more than continuous recording. How long does it last in motion detection mode? 3) Can I record while charging? I want to leave it always charging so that motion detection never fails due to low battery. Thank you for your video
@@TheDShow Any recommendation? I can't spare a lot of money, that's why this seemed fine. I only want to catch the person and then I don't need it anymore.
Its not that it won't work its a cheap device so its more for fun I would not rely on it for something like that. You could use this or rig up a cheap action camera to a powerbank to keep it powered. Depends where you will be hiding it
@@TheDShow I was thinking about connecting it to the car's cigarret lighter. Can it record in motion detection mode and charge at the same time? I read somewhere it can only record normally and charge at the same time.
I have a small security issue and am looking for a low cost camera which will record in darkness. The problem is the camera must not be seen. So do the LEDs glow red in the dark or are they the better quality LEDs (940nm) that do not show (glow) in the dark?Thank you.
The night vision LEDS are not visible to the naked eye for some reason the camera picks them up though. This camera may be ok but the night vision only works at a short distance like 5metres.
Sounds good. As long as there is no tell tale red glow. Only required to cover 1 to 2 mts Guess using 940nm LEDs. I have CCTV cams with 940s @ night you can see everything but no one can see the cameras.Thank you.
@@TheDShow That would mean that i should get an external ir light unit and use it with the motion detector. how far is the range for the motion detector? does the sq12 work after all this time?
I want to monitor and record onto the SD card, whenever someone approaches my front door. Will the sq 11 or 12 do this. I do not want to record continuously, just when motion is sensed, then stop when motion stops. Also will it sense outside motion from inside, through a glass window?
Thanks! Also, which SD card do you recommend? Some videos seems to be more slowly than yours. Maybe is a bad/slow sd card? I will probably buy ~6 of this camera for a university project, so I will also buy 6 Sd cards, so I want to buy a cheap one that work without being a bottleneck.

i am just curious if the camera can record while charging via USB and send video out via AV/OUT (cinch, component connector) at the same time? I want to use it as a hidden rear DVR camera in the car, and connect it to my android headunit together - so it should recording and also should be possible to see who is behind me - to see live video on my headunit.. :-)
Hi Danny. Good review brother. I've got a question, i've just got mine ytd. Charged it. Tried to power it on. Blue light keeps on for 5 seconds then turn into blinking blueish-red light then turn off.. ive tried to quick start recording while its steady blue light..it does the 5 quick blinking then the lights go off(its recording) then aftr abt 9-10 secs blueish-red blinkin comes again then the unit just turn off by itself. Is my unit faulty or something? Any tips how to fix this? Thanks in advance.
This sounds like either two things its not holding charge and turning off or it does not like the microsd. If its the microsd try formatting it to a different format or trying another. To test if it is the battery remember you can record will it is charging so try that and see if it stays on and records when its plugged into a charger or powerbank. Thanks for watching (:
Not automatically no, but you can start the recording and when the camera dies it should save the clip. If you leave it plugged in and charging it should just film until the sd is full.
hi I have just purchased the sq12 camera I have a model trains and I want to now if the motor which have a magnet in it. Can it interfere with it , As The video is filming in a mauve colour hope u can help thanks Ray
On the SQ11, when you plug the camera into your computer and open the SD card you will see a file named TIMERSET. Open that and change the Y at the end to N, hope that helps for the SQ12
Sorry for the late reply, maybe but im currently working on a few videos. The E58 will lift the SQ12 I have done this before but I don't have the footage im afraid. Thanks
i buy one sq 12 but its is not charging and working if i put in charging front infrared is working whats the pbm , any idea. want to install any software for connecting with windows 7 ?.
Hi sorry to hear about your problems, you should contact who you purchased it from for a refund or replacement. Im not sure what would cause it not to charge.
I have that little camera, my computer just refuses to play the videos, some times one video play, then it freezes, hat can I do do fix that, my desk to is on windows 10, my laptop on newer windows 10 . Thanks.

Is there a way to run night vision AND motion detection at the same time? If yes, what is the sequence?
For those of you who think that the night vision LED's aren't working:
Get your smart phone and turn the video camera on. Point the SQ12 at your cell phone video camera and turn the LED's on. You should be able to see them on the screen of your cell phone.

Ah thanks for the heads up. Thanks :)
@@TheDShow PLEASE do test night vision as I hear it will not actually do it (from another reviewer)
How do you set the time and date? I just can't decipher it...
A textfile is created on the microsd you edit that, is that what your having trouble with?
Yes, that's right. I can't set a date or time. Even if I change one digit it stays the same. The code is this: "20180115235959 Y". So the stamped date and time is this: "2018/02/17 18:54:42". The only thing I got right is the "Y" which stands for the file being stamped, or "N" for not.

Its ok I sorted it now the format should be: 20180416163345 which actually means 2018/04/16 at 16:33 & 45 seconds !!! easy when you know how
That thing is awesome especially for the price. 👍
+Dronography-Aerial Meditation Yes I think at this price point you won't find anything better (:
What´s the battery autonomy at 1920x1080 recording? + as a security cam isn´t the light of the night-vision making it cospicuous?
The night vision light isn't visible to your eyes shows up on camera for some reason. Maybe you could see it faintly, the battery lasts for about 40-50mins

Nice in depth review, thanks 👍
Thanks for watching (:
Hi, charge time ? How long can it record vids for without before shutting off ?
charge time is about an hour and half, recording time is about 50-60mintues
I bought the SQ11 just recently but haven't had a chance to use it properly. Should I have got this one instead?
Derren Mead Not necessarily they are both good camers I do prefer this one. The main reason I like it more is the wider field of view. Other then that your not missing out on alot. It is better then the SQ11 in my opinion.
Did you try running it while charging for hours? Will it overheat?
I did not so can't say for sure surry.
Question? Does motion detection still work at night time in dark with night vision.
Sorry I have not tested for either of your questions
@Ishan Chaudhary waste of my bloody time, !!!!
Love your reviews and demos. When it's turned off with a memory card inside, plugging the camera to a power source automatically makes it start recording right?
Thanks. Im sorry it's be so long since I made this video I can't remember
I read your comment just now. Because i just got one and yes 😄 was recording my floor while charging
@@Lizz033torres it does. Seems to be best and easiest used as a dash cam in my opinion 👍
Question ?-hi this cam is automatic start when i start my car ignition ? and is it loop recording cam ? please tel me
Hello. I was wondering if there is any risk ti receive a fake SQ12. Is that link sure? Somewhere I read that the original SQ12 Is sold with waterproof case
Do the front lights switch on while recording ? I need it for security reasons
The lights are for night vision and can't really be seem with the naked eye. I think its a weal infrared if my memory is correct. I wouldn't recommend this for security its more a toy or for fun.
How about mount? Its compatible with gopro mount?
Is there any difference between a quelima sq12 and a unbranded sq12? Are they made in the same factory or are the unbranded ones fake?
Sorry Im not sure these are pretty cheap for fun really there not super reliable
If u mount it inside the car to record passengers in night; is it clear to see them?
with night vision mode it should work ok
What about Date & Time Adjustment on this Camera ?
Danny brother!! You are driving on the wrong side......oh, heheheheheee nevermind. Nice job!
Great video! Keep it up! :)

thamk you kindly, I couldn't even read the tiny script with my readers on
They have an "update/upgrade" camera Model SQ13 supposedly able to take 1080p videos.
Do you think it can be hard wired in a car and used as a dash cam?
I would get a cheap dashcam instesd
