how about a camera that works? That would be a novelty- A Chinese micro cam that actually works. The SQ11 I bought is worthless. it does not do 1080, and the audio and video is jerky, and I'm using a fast 32g card. complete garbage
Perfect video, clear and concise! The manufacturer should just print the link to this on a slip of paper and throw away the horrendous, nonsensical factory instructions. I read them carefully several times and could not make heads or tails of them.
Engrish can be entertaining in and of itself but not when you're trying to glean actual information from it, with a magnifying glass at that. Thanks for this video
Man, I just got the camera and it arrived an hour ago while I was at work. I was too lazy to check the instruction, so I literally just searched the model up on UA-cam. Thanks for your video brother.
I was almost about to send this camera back because of the user guide!! Thank goodness I wrote to the selling company and they directed me here. Thank you!!
Cool. Your video is a lifesaver. I bought a couple of these sq11’s for cab view model railroad video, but the English instruction translations were making me feel like I was having a stroke! I have had these for almost a year, but every time I went to use it the instructions would frustrate me and I’d put it away again. Thankfully your clear demonstration of how to opera this has given me the confidence to try again.
Ha Ha! Dont even try to make sense of the instructions, I laughed so hard at them. This is a pretty good demo, I have several, still trying to make them operate.
the main selling points of this camera, imo, is the small size and weight. along with the low price that makes it practical for applications where you dont want to use a high quality camera. for example, mounting it to radio controlled cars or planes, drones, model rockets, attached to the collar of your dog or cat, etc. if it gets lost, stolen, broken you dont have to cry about it, and if its not, you can get some cool action shots of what your cat does when wanders outside. maybe even trying to catch a bird or something.
Hey dude great review but 2 points of improvement: 1. to change the date or disble the date you don't need to take out the sd card and plug it into the computer. You can connect the camera directly to computer with sd card in it and use file manager to access the text file. 2. you explained everything except how to charge the battery of camera and what color LED is on while charging and after fully charged.
Just got one I ordered 2 months ago. The written instructions are 💩! I really appreciated your video. I'm going to watch it again and write down the instructions. Thanks! Thumbs up
I'VE HAD THE CAMERA FOR A WHILE NOW BUT TODAY WAS THE FIRST DAY I TRIED TO USE IT (EMPHASIS ON THE TRY) (stupid caps lock!) I went to a swap meet and clipped it to my shirt, the first video walking from my truck to the entrance and beginning my shopping was about 9 minutes long but because I didn't trust that it was actually recording with no blinking lights I pressed and held the power button and the blue light would come on so I pressed it again... Blue light blinked 3 times and shut off... After the initial video all the other videos are less than a minute long... WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?
Excellent review thank you! Could make no sense of the instructions provided, but after watching this I can proceed with confidence. What a pity that the manufacturers don’t employ a competent translator!
Great review. Gonna buy this camera to find out who's dumping rubbish outside my house. As the battery isn't great can you leave it plugged in and still recored?.
Thank you brother! As soon as I saw the instructions I knew I wasn't going to read them! Also when it arrived it came with other products and ive been racking my brain trying to figure out what I NOW know is the stand. You know how WISH operates, sometimes you get a box and sometimes you don't lol. Thanks again!
To you who don't know to use motion detection, you need to press power button once and it becomes blue. From there click and hold mode button for 3 seconds. Now you are in motion detect mode. Very impotrant thing is that the device is connected to power supply while in this mode, other way it doesn't work. Np
2:32 Double blink indicates that night vision has been activated. To stop press and hold the power button for 3 seconds. Only then the LED will blink three times indicating that night vision has been deactivated. You have actually deactivated the mod. Once activated you can go through the mods, it will remain active.
still have not been able to get mine to work - how long did you have to charge your before it was ready instructions that came with camera suck your explanation was much more helpful thanks
@@happyocean6020 , Im beginning to think it's one of fraudulent products being not actually usable as advertised nor anything else seriously really :- My purchase of 3 of them came only with trash-instruction which does NOT even reveal any contact point; No Website, No Email, No TEL#, nor any address to return.

@@happyocean6020 you just plug it into your laptop using that double ended cable that comes with it, forget the yellow part. it will flash red until fully charged then you get steady red
I just got mine but it didn't come with the complete USB cable .....it only came with the one for charging, the one for the laptop or TV isn't there what do I do about it please.....and l really love you video thanks luv
Bought a few of these but didn't know what size usb to use but as soon as you pulled it out it hit me. After getting 3 bigger ones from Amazon. I misplaced it and forgot about it but that explains why it was in a bag for 2 years. THANX!
yeah sure, here is a webpage - org-info.mobi/shop/sq11-mini-dv-guide-en.htm and here is a pdf - www.cyanscorpion.com/manuals/SQ11-manual.pdf in the intructions you can read about how to enable motion sensing if you want, personally though I havnt tried it
IF you have a fake model, as I do - these are almost certainly actually using a 640x480 sensor, at least for the model I have. On the model I have at least, there's only one video recording setting, which is actually 1280x960(from checking the file details in Windows), ie: exactly doubled resolution both horizontally & vertically(quadrupled total resolution). Photos are the same resolution. When used as a webcam, the max resolution is 480p, 30fps. 4:3 format, 640x480, 30fps = all of these match standard definition NTSC(USA,Japan etc) video. ie: it's most likely a bottom of the barrel sensor, which is being scaled up(which is pointless, it doesn't improve quality). This would also make the analog composite video output easy, as the sensor itself is probably already using that format. Even for 640x480, the quality is poor. The infrared/night-vision also doesn't seem to work, I think the 'LEDs' are fakes. It's weird how products that are already low quality, get copied.
Thank you for this!! Not sure how you actually figured out the instructions, but it was absolute thrash to me. Maybe for those who could understand mandarin and read the original would understand. But the English version is just pointless.
Manual says up to 100 minutes of battery per charge. Didn't tested shooting until its ran out of battery but I found is that the camera may keep recording but it split the record and make another video file while recording. My SQ11 split the video file when it records around 5 minutes of video.

Brilliant video buddy, very clear and concise. Unfortunately the camera that I bought, was a rip-off. No 1080 recording, and where the night lights are supposed to be, when I stripped it down was just lumps of plastic.
Same as mine, i have ordered 2. And inside no lead light only stripped plastic, no reset button only empty space inside. And it's record videos no longer th an 27-30sec
why does my sq11 turn off after a few seconds of blue light? it charged for some time, so the battery shouldn't be empty. maybe it's broken? does it stop charging if it's full?
Make clear what exactly you want to know. When charging, the lights turn off when fully loaded. When recording, the lights will flash and then turn off.
very helpful indeed and the instruction leaflet was like written in Punjabi and instead of helping i simply had a mental breakdown trying to understand it. is there a built in st card or do I have to buy a one to put in. Mine came without a 32 GB card.

I want to definitely know this..Because i bought it 4 that reason...I wanted to put it in my car,with hope that i can watch what's going on while I'm away in real time....Or that option doesn't exist with this camera...?
it's pretty good if you don't have the best laptop but still want to call someone through video and be able to move around without getting all blurry. it only gets really hot after like only 5 or 10 minutes so don't want to use it to long in one sitting.
Hi,again.Mike,(U.K.)here once more.....I tried the camera last night,but,clearly,hadn't done it correctly.....I got nothing!!

Cheat Sheet/Faqs/Guide Link for this video: 1. Press power, Mode = ☆BLUE: 720p☆. Press power to record, light flashes/turns off and you've activated the function, as in all modes. Hit power to stop. 2. Press Mode again (or 2x from home), turns ☆RED&BLUE: 1080p☆. Pwr to start (lights go out) & Pwr to stop. ☆Night Vision☆: From 1080p⬆️hold power for 2sec. Red flashes 3x. Hit pwr once to start rec, (it flashes red/blue 3x & lights go off: recording.) Pwr to stop. 3. Press Mode again (3x from home), mode ☆RED, PHOTO☆. Hit power to shoot. Use mode or power down to exit photo mode. ☆Motion Detection: in 720 or 1080p, b4 recording, hold mode for 3 secs. R&B LEDs flash when motion is detected. Saves every 5mins. •To turn off Unit: Hold pwr for 5-10secs, release. If not working, switch mode to home 1st (Blue Lt). •Remove timestamp: Power off (hold right 5-10secs &release). Pull SD card, open .text file. Edit end from Y to N. - or edit date for accuracy. •Use as a webcam/rec from computer. *Remove SD 1st* Use app Photobooth or VLC Player. FAQ's: ☆There are less quality models/cables. Read around lense for ID☆ •Video & Sound✔ •1080p power lasts ~ 1.5hr. •720p power lasts ~ 2hrs. •Blue Lt flashes when charging (Red when no SD card in) •USB Type UC-E6 •Said to loop record when SD full. •Description around MY lense: Magnavox 12m full hd •Unit can be charged "5V charger or 220V Network" while in use. 1 person warns it could fry camera. My thoughts? Check power output on PLUG the USB connects to. Maybe don't use your phone's charger. It uses a 5V. (Any electronic device will fail overtime when overpowered.) ☆(Mine must be different. Says Magnavox. Controls are different. Did all this for you all then, crap, lol) ♡Guide: org-info.mobi/shop/sq11-mini-dv-guide-en.htm
Don't be get too excited unless it works for you. Mine isn't working and couldn't played the videos. Photos is okay. But the video was the reason why I bought this for my outdoor vlogs and activities but sad to say, got me left disappointed. 🥴🥴

this is the 3rd video i have watched to try and understand how to use this camera. yu all seem to jump a step or 10 between taking it out of the box and turning it on!!!. ok so i plugged it in to charge it. the light was not red it was blue and flashed for about 90 minutes then went solid. now what? when i ask the computer to eject it so that i can take the camera away from the computer to use - the computer says it is in use and if i unplug it it's fubarred. the box says that in the unlikely event you need help they will be glad to assist but there is of course no way to contact ''them''. can you help?
I'm pretty sure flashing blue means recording so if that's coming up while charging try holding down the power button to try and turn it off maybe? also, try charging with a wall adapter if you can as the computer may be causing issues, but I'm not too sure
Thanks for viewing my camera has the connection to the TV I do not have pretty good for a small camera. I thought it would connect to your cell phone. Thank you for showing the video.

IMAGINATION please !!!!!!! Anyway cheers mate.
There is no drone, ignorant illiterate, unless you mean a Quadcopter. Otherwise go back to school and learn the definitions of 'drone'. Have you been listening to too many sheep lately? If your answer is no, then what exactly do you think 'drone' is, or means?
☝️that guy must be Chinglish. Pretty sure most everyone these days know what a drones is, unless a Quadcopter is a Fancy smancy thing than it would be reasonable for why he wouldn’t know about drones. That or he lives under a rock somewhere that has internet access. Overall I think a drone is more believable.

Wanted to know...can you record video and view it live? Or not even record, but just watch live wirelessly on my phone?
I want to definitely know this..Because i bought it 4 that reason...I wanted to put it in my car,with hope that i can watch what's going on while I'm away in real time....Or that option doesn't exist with this camera...?
does it record sound or just image?
both
it's pretty good if you don't have the best laptop but still want to call someone through video and be able to move around without getting all blurry. it only gets really hot after like only 5 or 10 minutes so don't want to use it to long in one sitting.
why you never demo the video cable ? i nerd to see on my tv.
Hi,again.Mike,(U.K.)here once more.....I tried the camera last night,but,clearly,hadn't done it correctly.....I got nothing!! Please would you try to set the 'SQ 11' to record when set to motion actvation,and infra red at the same time...then put this here,on line swowing exactly what you did...... Thank you, Mike.
And also please tell me how to connect it to a phone or computer?
you need a USB OTG

FAQ's:
☆There are less quality models/cables. Read around lense for ID☆
•Video & Sound✔
•1080p power lasts ~ 1.5hr.
•720p power lasts ~ 2hrs.
•Blue Lt flashes when charging (Red when no SD card in)
•USB Type UC-E6
•Said to loop record when SD full.
•Description around MY lense: Magnavox 12m full hd
•Unit can be charged "5V charger or 220V Network" while in use. 1 person warns it could fry camera. My thoughts? Check power output on PLUG the USB connects to. Maybe don't use your phone's charger. It uses a 5V. (Any electronic device will fail overtime when overpowered.)
☆(Mine must be different. Says Magnavox. Controls are different. Did all this for you all then, crap, lol)

Thanks 4 the break down now I need to order more. My dog bit the first 1 I had
@@7878lonewolf Welcome!!!
Just got ours so excited.
Is it okay?
I got myself on today
Don't be get too excited unless it works for you.
Mine isn't working and couldn't played the videos. Photos is okay. But the video was the reason why I bought this for my outdoor vlogs and activities but sad to say, got me left disappointed. 🥴🥴
Hello, is it mandatory to have a micro sd card? I am unsure about this.
More clearly, I want to remotely connect it to my phone, which I believe is possible. The thing is, when I turn the camera on, both LEDs flash for a sec. and then it turns off.
Would you be able to explain to me how to connect to tv and get it to work on there please?
I got this ... how do I make wifi / webcam with my phone ?
when in motion detection how long the battery last?
Up to 5h
@@cupson2009 hello my cam flashes always red and blue light and then turn off can i know why
@@abbaabbascell8077 or micro sd card not detected. Or is full. Or is in wrong format.
As far i tested, maximum suport was 32gb and it mus be in fat32 format
NOT NTFS
Can the camera still recording while connected to a powerbank? Thanks
Can you live stream to your phone?
??????
I don't have a computer I bought this about 5 months ago and finally got the SD card for it there's got to be a way to Connect it to a phone!? I hope so. Maybe I can take the SD card out and put it into my phone to view the footage. Can someone plz reply 😩
Misty Lane Yes, I also would like to know how to connect it to my iPhone. I’m hoping that there is a way to do it wireless.
@@RabboniInDaBronx I think it's on meant for computers. I finally got one and the camera does work.
this is the 3rd video i have watched to try and understand how to use this camera. yu all seem to jump a step or 10 between taking it out of the box and turning it on!!!. ok so i plugged it in to charge it. the light was not red it was blue and flashed for about 90 minutes then went solid. now what? when i ask the computer to eject it so that i can take the camera away from the computer to use - the computer says it is in use and if i unplug it it's fubarred. the box says that in the unlikely event you need help they will be glad to assist but there is of course no way to contact ''them''. can you help?
I'm pretty sure flashing blue means recording so if that's coming up while charging try holding down the power button to try and turn it off maybe? also, try charging with a wall adapter if you can as the computer may be causing issues, but I'm not too sure
Can I attach it to my rc and watch it live from my pc or phone?
Can you make a video that you use it with your phone
Where You able to find out if you can use it off of your phone
Your instructions were sure better than the printed ones in my opinion. Video worth how many words? Thank you.
Can you hook it on a smartphone??
I dont think so
Thanks for viewing my camera has the connection to the TV I do not have pretty good for a small camera. I thought it would connect to your cell phone. Thank you for showing the video.
How does everyone fail to show u how to view the footage while it’s recording
⟟ don’t think you can
What do you mean fail to? You can't. Do you see a screen? because there isn't one. How theheck did you expect them to preview the recording then?
@@mjyanimations1062 mah she actually asked a valid question… you’re a lil too harsh with this response my good sir
got one at a flea market for one dollar. wasnt sure wether to put numbers on the side and turn it into a die or put it in the freezer and make an electronic ice cube out of it. This video helped a lot.
Thanks Brendon urie 👍
Thanks for that quick tutorial. Can I connect this cam to my iPhone?
In what folder or directory in my SD card can I find the recordings? And what particular app or software should I use to view them?
Thanks for those who will answer.
just connect it to your pc, there will be a videos folder. I use VLC for reviewing my footage
Hi.Mike from Manchester,U.K. here.I'm a retired high school teacher,but found the 'SQ 11' instructions very confusing!! I'm going to try the camera on 'Motion Detect/Infra red' tonight.We have a fox and a hedgehog visit our garden during darkness,and I hope to get footage of them both. I'll let you know if I'm successful.Thanks for the tutorials on the 'SQ 11'......at the price,they seem to be a bargain.
We just got this in the mail today. AND am still confused on how to work it.
r u still? did u get the hang of it
Can you stream live from the camera to a app/iphone?
CAN THIS BE CHARGEABLE? OR SUPPORT TO PLUG FOR POWER SUPPORT? HELP.
I was thinking of putting inside my car at the back as a spy cam. Can I use a power bank battery to keep it surveillance on motion detection mode?
Which microsd card and reader are recommended?
how do i connect the SQ 11, so i can see in live on my Samsung phone?
Ya even I want to know how to connect that to mobile...
Mee too haha
sonu did you find out if you can use it on your phone
Wireless connection to cell phone?
How long does charge last?
How to know when to recharge?
Bro can j somehow connect it to my cellphone so i can see what it pulls but without cable? Only Bluetooth, WiFi or something like this
Put the SD card in your phone and go to your file folder.. work it out from there.
@@alexk2416
What SD card? I was informed to buy a tf card and put into the camera. I have a 32gb SD card in my phone already. How do I use the camera thru my phone? Please, any info will be greatly appreciated
@@audiekavanaugh6110 TF (TransFlash) Card is the same as a Micro SD card, just a different name in some countries. It's actually a Micro SD TF Card, if you're being specific.
Hi brother thx fer vid.just wanted to know whether this can only be charged usong computer
why all of you never demo the use of rca video cable
Good question! I can't get mine to show on moniter via RCA coonection.
What app is best to use with this camera.? And can you put it on the WiFi or is there wifi
need help witrh playback of recording...can i PLUG IN THE SD CARD TO MY ANDROID PHONE AND WATCH RECORDING? I TIRED VIA TV WITH CABLE AND I CANNOT GET ANY FILE TO PLAY VIDEO...PICTURE IS WORKING BUT WONT PLAY BACK VIDEO
hi, i just got this camera myself and i have the same issue no video play back - i tried the reset and no different - have you fixed the issue?
Plug it into a computer. Was caps lock necessary. This is a 3 dollar camera after all
Thank you very much for the Instructions video... i dont understand the instruction paper
The type of usb is: USB UC-E6. You're welcome.
ty 😊
Where is its power running from? Wifi or battery? And any cameras that do run off batteries that you can carry around without having to connect it to the wifi?
Absolutely wonderful, informative video. I plugged it into my computer and absolutely nothing happened. So.....thanks?
Micro SD card has to be inserted in the cam.
@@luvcrim be careful doing that too!!, it can be lost inside if you get the card in too far
Thanks so much for the explanation! The manual was so confusing. Also, how do you use motion detection and TV Out?
Thank you young man the Chinglish instructions managed to do my head in. Now that I have seen how it works the Chinglish makes sense to me.
Soon I will be fluent in Chinglish and you would have been the bloke that saved a life (I thought there was something terribly wrong with me. A genuine cut throat razor was on order).
As far as these whinging wankers are concerned, this tiny little camera actually works. Pull your heads out of your arses and have a little fun, put it on a remote control car or a drone.
IMAGINATION please !!!!!!!
Anyway cheers mate.
Chinglish. Lol
There is no drone, ignorant illiterate, unless you mean a Quadcopter. Otherwise go back to school and learn the definitions of 'drone'. Have you been listening to too many sheep lately? If your answer is no, then what exactly do you think 'drone' is, or means?
☝️that guy must be Chinglish. Pretty sure most everyone these days know what a drones is, unless a Quadcopter is a Fancy smancy thing than it would be reasonable for why he wouldn’t know about drones. That or he lives under a rock somewhere that has internet access. Overall I think a drone is more believable.
@@tiffanyduncan3312
Don't know what you're talking about. Are you English or Chinglish? Who are you referring your comment to?
@@tiffanyduncan3312 I know and so rude about it!!! How does he explain my post if I can't read or write. I wonder how many grandmas he's tripped up lately? I sent him a link that is surely going make him want to drown some puppies. So much anger over a comment about a $5 camera.

Thank you for the great instructions - was going to throw these out. I bought 2 of them! This device is neat! Instructions on paper is pretty bad.
Thank you! Mine came with no instructions.
My SQ11 keeps flashing red and blue when I let go of the power button. What does that mean?
Thank you for posting this. I ordered some of these to use in cars for safety and possible wreck recording. The "instructions" are in terrible Chinese English and make NO sense!
