I have this camera. Check the MicroSD card is fully inserted and clicked into the camera. First time I unwrapped and plugged mine in without the MicroSD a similar thing happened.
Out of interest what are you using it for. Dash cam?

Same reason I bought mine.

It is better to get a Class 4 or faster MicroSD card. If you get a slower one, the camera may not be able to save the data fast enough and the quality can be affected.

Sainsbury's may not be the best place for this... online at Play.com you can get a 16Gb Class 4 for £12.99 delivered. 16Gb gives you approximately 5 hours recording time which I find is plenty, but the camera takes up to 32Gb MicroSD cards.

They are great cameras for the money.

WooHoo!!!!

It worked. I used an Optima Class 4 4GB card from Sainsbury £4.99. I loaded it and it went to autoplay.

Thanks everyone for your input, I can now drive without fear of someone questioning it being my fault.


I must go on a tech course at sometime.

But then, without me to flex everyones grey matter from time to time, this life would be very boring.

Again thank you everyone, it is very refreshing to get advice without that smug sneer one tends to get from places like PC World et all.

A question for you Pendulum, as you already have one, can I hook it to up my mobile phone? I have a Windows 7 phone.

That's probably a question for someone else to confirm. One thing you shouldn't do is try powering your phone or anything else from the camera's Cigarette Lighter charger because, as it uses non-standard USB cable wiring, it won't work with anything else and could cause damage. I'd imagine you'd be able to power the camera from your phone if you made up a USB cable to the same wiring standard as the car charger, but I doubt it using a standard USB cable. I've just been playing with mine and can't get it to record to MicroSD card at all with a standard USB lead plugged in.

If you meant you wanted it to actually save the video direct to your phone, then I doubt very much you can do that, except in webcam mode, but then the quality would be bad.

I don't know if the latest firmware changes anything; I've not tried it.
There's so much info about this camera out there that it makes your head hurt. It's so easy to get confused.
