Thanks so much for taking the time to make this video. I just bought this DashCam and you have made it so easy to set up. 😊
Great video just got one of these, ( bit late coming to the table!)I glaze over when reading manuals, so you've taken out the work for me. Extremely grateful. Thx
Thank you, although this video is now 5 years old so I cannot say whether is is still correct for any current versions 👍
even today as i watched this video, you showed me many things,,thank you
So nice of you, thank you 😊
Helpful and informative, much appreciated 😊
This is a capacitor based dash cam which doesn't overheat, therefore there is only a small battery inside. many dash cams have overheated and caused fires which is why more have capacitors now.
Not sure where you get that information from
Thank you very much for uploading this. It was very helpful indeed!
Glad it was helpful!
Very helpful , thank you .
This video is five years old now, so I cannot be sure it is still relevant, but if it helps you, that is great news 👍👍
Thank you granddad 🍾🥂❤️
Very good vid, cheers for that, all set up now
Hey thanks 😁👍
Very informative, I like your video.
Thanks 😊
Thank you sir.
Most welcome
Thanks for that, very helpful little video. I've never had a dash cam before, but with the increased number of cars in our area, I thought why not! Here is my Question: do you leave it connected to the windscreen, is it a target for thieves?
Very many thanks, all the best to you
Answer is Yes and Yes so I guess they recognize these are cheap
Thank you very much
I hope it was helpful.
Thank you!
👍😁
hi I have one of these, and im trying to retrieve a video but its not working for me. any advice?
How are you trying to retrieve it? I just take the card out and put it in a card reader on my PC.
Thanks for the informative video. Can you tell me, when you turn the engine off, if the parking mode is left on, does this use the battery in the camera or would it drain the car battery (minimal or not)?
Sorry can't answer that, I haven't tried that feature. However my car switches off the power socket so it would not be able to draw current from the car battery.
@@GrandadIsAnOldMan How do I set the dash cam so the screen goes off whilst at the same time still recording? Can't seem to find this in the manual. Thanks.
@@stevenmartin7807 I would guess that is the Screen Saver setting at 07:30, I haven't tried it myself
Hi Grandad, great video.
Just wondering (I've lost the manual 😣) how I save a piece of footage whilst I'm driving? Say i happen to capture and RTC or something..what button would I click on to preserve the footage? Thanks in advance!
Right side you have 4 buttons "OK" "M" "padlock" "on/off". If you press the padlock it will lock the current recording and as far as I know that means it will not be overwritten when the camera cycles through the memory. How much is saved depends on how long you have set the intervals on "Loop recording"
@@GrandadIsAnOldMan Brilliant! Thanks very much for the info and quick response..much appreciated! 👍
Nice
Hi Grandad, thanks for this video. Are these easy to install?
Install? well you have to hide the power cable by tucking it behind the car trim but other than that there is no "installation" as such. I expect some company would charge you a couple of hundred quid for their time to do it for you but with a little care you will find car manufacturers have allowed for you to hide wires fairly easily behind rubber trim etc.
I get a please format but idk how? There’s no format option in menu. Ty sir 😊
Did you find it? 07:59 on this video
Good video
Thank you.
Hi Grandad, nice video. I was wondering; can I fit this camera inside of my house? i.g. front garden window!!
As long as you can rig up a suitable power supply it should work fine. However if you are thinking of using it as a security camera you can get better security cameras for a similar price.
My car alarm has just gone off will my cam have switched on and captured anyone in my drive. The cam is hardwired. If it does how tldo i playback?
Sorry, I have no idea. I can only suggest you read the instructions supplied with your camera. Does your power socket switch on when you alarm goes off? My socket turns on when I switch on the ignition, so the camera starts filming from that point. As for playback, I transfer the files from the SD card to my PC and view them from there. If you don't have a PC, you could get an adaptor to connect the SD card to your phone and view the files on there. You can playback the videos on the dashcam, but the screen is rather small.
@@GrandadIsAnOldMan thanks 👍🏼
If going to view it on the camera how do you do it
I am just watching the video through again to see if I mention playback. I notice at 5:46 I talk about park mode. The instructions say "With parking monitor and motion detection function the car cam will monitor your car condition 24 hours in continuous power supply condition". PLAYBACK At around 09:00 I press the M button on the right that would step through any saved files but there were none on the camera at that time. This is all covered in the instructions supplied with the camera. They say press the M button twice to enter playback mode www.orskey.com/pages/orskey-dashcam-user-manual @@user-ed9hc7zh7p
Very helpful thank you 👍🏼
How much memory card does it come with? Or do u have to buy it separatly?
You buy your memory card separately.
How do you turn on the split screen mode so you can see both rear and front camera at the same time
This camera does not have that option.
Hi. Iv got this camera but I’m struggling to work out how to save clips. Do I press the lock button? I don’t find the instructions very clear at all. Thanks
Not quite sure what you mean "save". Do you mean to prevent it being overwritten? According to the manual P3 (I haven't tried it myself) the Lock button locks the current files. I think that means that they cannot be overwritten by the looping function that would normally overwrite the first file in the memory when the memory is full. Looking at P15 in the manual it indicates the protected/locked files are stored in the RO (read only) folder on the memory card. If you mean "save" as in save to your computer then what I do is plug the memory card into a suitable adaptor connected to my PC and transfer all the files to my hard drive. Unless you have had an accident/incident I would not suggest saving files on your memory card or you will soon run out of space.
Hayley firstly you need to check if you have the correct type of memory card. This device only supports mini SD cards that are 4-32Gb, class 10 speed or above.
Apparel Eighty Four hi. Yes got the correct memory card in. Haven’t tried it yet but will try what Grandadisanoldmab suggested. Thank you
@@GrandadIsAnOldMan i read it as in save the current clip..like when you get cut up. the lock function would seem to make sense in this scenario
Hi grandad got this dash cam trying to work out if it will let you zoom in and out so you can get a better pic of the number plate in front of you, also when you go to play the footage that has been recodred what software do you need to use on a pc windows 10 thanks for your help.
The camera records in AVI format which your normal Video player on Windows 10 should handle with no problem. As for zooming I don't have the manual handy but I am 99% certain it does not have that feature.
Brother, explain to me how to connect it to the mobile phone
If yours is the same model as mine, the answer is simple. You Don't. It does not have WiFi capability.
@@GrandadIsAnOldMan Brother, can I contact you via Snapchat or Instagram?
Did you get a memory card with this? Ive just bought one and it dosnt seem to have come with one. Thanks
No you don't get a memory card. That will probably cost as much as the camera did (although the memory card prices have come down significantly since I bought this camera back in 2018) 👍
@@GrandadIsAnOldMan thanks for the quick response, ive just had a look. Average price for a 32GB SD card is about £10 👍
@@MindurBuisness101 yes, they were running at well over £1 per GB back then, so I guess not everything is shooting up in price 😊😊
Had this for just over a month and was working fine. Suddenly went off one day and now when I turn it on, it comes up saying Orskey then turns off again. Please help.
Best advice I can give you is, depending on where you bought it, take it back and get a replacement or a refund. From your description it sounds like the battery is dead, but that is just a guess. If that is the case it may be your charger has died or unplugged or the wire is broken.
So do I have to press the record button everytime or does it record automatically on starting the engine
That depends on the electrical setup of your car. If you are plugging the camera into your "cigarette lighter" supply and that supply is switched on and off with your ignition then the camera should start up when you turn the ignition on and it should switch off when you turn the ignition off. In fact it stays running for 5 seconds, presumably to capture video after a serious crash. That's how it works on my car. As soon as I get in and switch the ignition on the camera starts up and starts recording. My car has an additional feature that keeps the power supply running to the socket even when you switch the ignition off and take the key out. It only cuts the power when you open the door so if I have stopped the car but don't get out (maybe pulled into a car park for a rest), the camera keeps running. My fix to that is to open the door and shut it again so the car thinks I got out and it finishes the power down procedure and cuts the power to that socket.
Hi there if it's not to much of a problem would you be kind enough to send me a link where I can get a pdf instruction on this dash cam..coz I got the same one but without the user manual..I really appreciate it..thank you so much
If you can contact me via a message on my Facebook account I might be able to help you. Links in the video description.
@@GrandadIsAnOldMan thank you so much I will do that so as get chance..once again thank you so much
HI I have just got this dash cam and have the same problem with the memory card even though its the one they say get in the instructions, what card did you need in the end, thanks
Hi Lance, not sure if this will work but here is a link to a picture of the card I currently use ua-cam.com/users/postUgzAvKiGd4jRpK6YsoF4AaABCQ
Better than that I found my old postbag video. This is in the description - Kingston Canvas Go Micro SD SDHC Memory Card 90MB/s UHS-1 V30 Class 10 with SD Adapter - 32GB

Hello
If i want to use this as REAR dashcam, can i mount this on the front windscreen Or must it be mounted at the rear window?
If you mount it in your front windscreen pointing backwards it will have the same field of view that your rear view mirror has. So you will see your passengers, yourself and anything else you have inside your car.
@@GrandadIsAnOldMan Thanks!
Hi, can you charge this one up then use it without the wires? thanks!
Yes, but I don't know how long it will run for on the battery as I have never tried.
@@GrandadIsAnOldMan thank you!
No the internal battery is only good for a few minutes before it turns off - it has to be connected to a 12v supply ie: your lighter socket with provided power lead .
On My S800 (same unit but with rear cam also) after you format the card I get that C6 message, you appeared to think it was the card not being suitable (it should be class 10 or higher, mine is a Class 10 32Gb SanDisk Extreme), however on mine if you switch the unit off for a minute, (after the C6 message) then switch back on the card appears and works perfectly, also when linking via usb to a computer it takes a moment to appear in 'this PC' shortcut (don't forget to switch on the Mass usb device on the dash cam when linking to a PC
Thanks for the information. I leave mine in the car permanently and just bring the card in when I want to download the files
I get the same message. I have a Class 10 64GB SanDisk Extreme. I turned it off and on and still doesn’t work.
How do you format the SD card.
@@markkofi8522 it's a while ago but if memory serves I formatted it in my PC
@@johngratton467 Thanks. That worked.
Once you hard wire it does this automatically turn on and record?
It switches on and starts recording when you power it up, if that is what you mean. So if it is plugged into your cigarette lighter socket, (or whatever you want to call that power supply), when you switch the ignition on, the camera will start up.
@@GrandadIsAnOldMan Im going to get mine hard wired into the fuse box . I've got the hardwire kit. Silly question but if you have an accident do you to stop the recording manually otherwise will it record over it ?
@@equalitypeace1695 two answers. Assuming the ignition is switched off at some time after the accident the camera will stop recording. Second answer. There is a setting that ensures that in the event of a significant impact the camera automatically locks the current videos preventing them being overwritten. This is the G-Sensor setting.
@@GrandadIsAnOldMan that's very helpful advice thank you
so how do you save a video?, if its on loop does it just delete the footage.
It saves the video in 3 minute clips. You can get about 2 hours on a 32gb sd card, which is long enough for most journeys. If you want to save what is there for future reference, you would have to download it to your computer or other storage device. After it fills up your card, it will start overwriting the oldest files.
@@GrandadIsAnOldMan oh ok so if I’m just going along and something happens I just click the save button? And then how much video does it actually save?
@juststuff531 No, like I said, it records in 3 minute clips. It does that continuously. You leave it recording all the time you are driving. That is what it is for. It keeps a continuous record of your driving experience. If you have an accident, you take the stored video and transfer it somewhere safe for evidence. Because it runs on a loop, you will always have up to the last 2 hours of drive time stored on it. If you only make 10-minute journeys every day, that means you might have the last 12 days of driving recorded on it. On day 13, it would overwrite day 1. If you do a 3 hour journey, you would only find the last 2 hours when you view the video back because the loop would have gone over the first hour
@@GrandadIsAnOldMan thanks so much, I’m autistic so I find it hard to understand some things. So all I do if I have a problem Is just hit the ‘lock’ button and transfer it?
@juststuff531 the lock button will stop that particular clip from being overwritten. You can set the camera to automatically lock the current clip if the motion sensor detects you have had an accident. That is a good feature, because in an accident you may not be conscious. The camera is normally set to start recording as soon as you switch the ignition on and stop when you switch the ignition off. So, in an accident, the camera will keep recording, even if the car isn't moving, as long as the ignition is still turned on. That can be handy as there may be action taking place after the accident, like an argument or a fight. Or to record witnesses standing around.
Hi
How do clear the SD card?
08:00 Format if that is what you mean by clear the SD card
Hi how do I charge it in the house just use usb cable
It charges all the time your car is running if you have it plugged in via the cable to the cigarette lighter port. BUT be aware the battery will not run it for long when the car is not running, so you cannot leave it switched on overnight and expect it to record all night until you return the next day. I would think a couple of hours maximum, probably less than that.
And it has a small hdmi slot is that for in case need rear camera
@@philipkeane2217 didn't you get any instructions with it when you bought it? Sounds like yours is a different model to mine. I don't recall it having an HDMI slot. Do you mean the slot for the SD card?
Ah, now I am sure it is a different version. Mine has no option for a rear facing camera.
Do you know how to upload the footage onto an iMac?
Nope, sorry, I have never knowingly touched any Apple technology.
Take out the Micro SD card and use an SD Card converter to put the Micro SD Card into your imac
Does anyone have an online copy of the Orskey instructions / documentation ? Or know where to get one? (do not want paper copy)
I have scanned my instructions into a PDF file if you want to contact me via Facebook or similar. Links in the video description. Don't put your details in a reply here on UA-cam.
Can u fit it on a. mobility scooter
If your mobility scooter has a windscreen the sucker mount would fit. If not, you would need a bracket to clamp it onto your handlebars or whatever. It is not waterproof and it needs a 12 volt power supply, what we used to call a cigar lighter socket in cars many years ago. With the right connecting cable, you could run it off a powerbank. Of course, somebody might pinch it if it is left on display. You would probably do just as well with a cheap action camera. They usually come with a selection of fittings to allow them to be fitted on bicycles and helmets etc. You see lots of cyclists with them.
Really helpful. Thanks a lot.
Glad it was helpful!
