Not Le-French version of Auto-Express by any chance, totally useless as they just make up cars for their "exclusives". Total junk.

They record to Micro SD cards so I got an 8GB card to use which was 10GBP on Amazon (when buying some other stuff so no postage). Using this the cameras record about 5-6 hours in 20-40 minute segments with sound.

The quality is OK for a car camera. The only issue I had was the mounting which rattles so sound was not so good when driving. I replaced it with blu-tak and its fine and quiet. It has an internal battery (good for >50 hours) which is recharged from the USB cable.

The manual is comical english so not much use even for a native English speaker. The result is that I can't set the time or date (needs a text file of some kind) but I'm not too bothered about that. I have other cameras for "Family Events".

I plan to record my trips to/from work and then put them into the Helga thread for comment on technique. I'm sure mine could be improved no end with live comments
