Night Vision Motion Activated Mini DV LCD Wireless

• High Resolution Video with Watermark - The iDrive2 records in amazingly crisp and clear WXGA video - DVD quality. You have three resolution setting option
• Action-Fast Frame Rate - Most action video is captured using 30 fps - the iDrive2 is no different. You won't have to worry about a jumpy or scratchy picture that doesn't show all the details you'll need for later. At 30 frames per second, you won't miss a thing.
• Night Vision - We all drive at night, that's no myth. The sad truth is that a majority of accidents and incidents also happen at night. That's why the iDrive2 is equipped with an integrated infrared (IR) array to allow for crisp and clear video recording at night.
• Power Source - A car charger is included with the kit if you want to have the iDrive2 turn every time your car does. The Lithium-Polymer batteries also provide up to 3 hours of continuous recording when the cigarette lighter adapter kit with your car simply isn't an option. Alternatively if an accident cuts power to your cigarette lighter port, it will continue recording on battery.
• Motion Detection Mode - Keep everything hands free when you are sitting back and surveilling someone else. The iDrive2 will automatically start rolling tape when it detects motion and stop recording when it doesn't.

Don't expect to see license plate, face, or good IR at night. The screen wouldn't turn on after my first use. Called technical support and my call was returned the next day. The Tech told me to reset it, but had no idea where the reset button is. There is none. He told me to put a pin through a hole next to the SD Card to reset it. It's a through hole and there is no switch. The instruction manual (iDrive2) download from the web refers to resetting the unit whenever it freezes, but the manual does not show where the reset button is.

The product was poorly manufactured with thin plastic cover. I wished there were better alternative. I decided to keep this because it's been several weeks and it worked again when I plugged the power in the cigarette lighter. Power button doesn't work though. It's just on when you plug it in, it turns on. Also, you can't recharge the battery via USB cable as described in the Instruction Manual, can't view video by plugging the USB connected to the camera and your laptop. Must charge battery via car power (at least my unit is). Some of the functions and features descibed on ElectroFlip do not work. I saw the sample video that looks nice in rural area, but can't distinguish much on closup.
