Decent Device with Good Features, BUT the SD Card Is Crap! HOWEVER: They took care of the problem!
This is a decent device. It does what I wanted (take still shot pictures, take video with sound, and do audio recording). Despite the settings that say video 1080HD, photo 40Mp, the quality of the images and video does not appear to be as good as that. The audio sounds okay enough for such a device. I also like that you can disable Loop Record (which writes over what was written once the card is full), and that it supports night vision. And since it has a rotating lens (180 degrees), it also supports Image Rotation so the image is displayed right side up. And the battery seems to last, but I'm not sure about 10 hours yet. So all good. Except the SD card that comes with it. It is junk. I used it maybe three or four times, and it basically no longer responds. I lost an entire day of data. The device doesn't even think there's a card installed. I tried another quality card, and it works fine. I contacted the seller as this is nonsense. This isn't that cheap of a device, and I even paid the extra $7 to get the 64GB card. The description says "Comes with a high quality 32G/64GB card. " Not true! I wouldn't buy again, or certainly do not waste the money for the larger SD card, as it is junk. Let's see if the seller stands behind their description, and sends me a quality product replacement card. With a SanDisk or Micron card, I would raise the rating of this device. But so far, they don’t even respond. To sell something at this price point, and include some crap SD card, forcing you to have to go out and get another one, does not wash! So my recommendation is avoid this product. Do not reinforce this kind of business practice.Edit: August 5, 2023The company Boblov contacted me and informed me that they are working on a new SD Card, so I think it is clear they are aware of the issue. They offered me a refund in the amount that covered my purchase of a quality SD card, which I accepted. This is a fair and acceptable response on their part, and shows they stand behind their product and take care of customer issues very promptly! I am bumping my review to 5 stars. Not because I got some money back, but because they recognized the issue and took care of it immediately. I personally don't understand why they don't just ship with a decent card to begin with, but at least they didn't leave me hanging. But other than the issues I had with the SD card, the A22 really does do everything I want. Yes, the video and photo quality aren't the best, but it is about what I expected. I like that is has an LCD display (which I didn't mention above), so I can see what I'm taking a picture of, and I can disable loop recording, which I do not want (many don't allow you to disable this, which doesn't make sense to me). Also, given that the lens can rotate, the software does allow you flip the recorded image, which is great. I only wish there was a way to update the firmware to keep the device running at its best. I also wish the clip were a bit better. Also note, the clip has a magnet in it. Not super strong, but it can be very handy. Overall, I'm very pleased with the device and the company's response to my issue. I now recommend!

Decent camera for it's price
I work security outdoors and wanted a small, unobtrusive camera that would not have any lights on it that would draw attention to me when going through dark areas. For the most part, the A22 pretty much fits the bill for my needs with maybe just a little room for improvement.In regular light, the picture is clear but the IR is a little weak. On a very dark night, I could not see objects that were maybe 10 to 15 feet away from me on the playback. To begin seeing objects clearly I probably had to be closer to 5 feet away but I need to test this a little more. Not great but not unexpected for this level camera either.Audio sounds fine. No indicator lights and being able to shut off the viewscreen helps keep the camera from being obvious or drawing attention to my location.I've read other reviews that stated the buttons made this camera almost unusable. I totally disagree with that. The button functions were easy to learn and easy to use even in the dark.As far as accessing the footage back in the office, the A22 acts like a standard mass storage device. Plug it in to a USB port and it shows up as a drive and all the video files are readily available. I've plugged the camera into my PC and my android phone with zero problems. I use VLC on my phone which worked fine for viewing the videos. I've not tried any other players.For my purposes, I leave the camera recording the entire time I am on patrol. I've recorded up to 5 or 6 hours continuously and the battery level indicated it was still above the half full. I understand that for someone else, they might prefer a central button to quickly begin recording instead but I find the sliding button on the side of the camera easy enough to use.Overall, I'm very pleased with this camera and only wish the IR was a little better.Pros:SmallDoes not draw attention to itselfClear video and audioEasy to useEasy to download videos to my PC and phone (only tried Android)Adjusting settings was easy. Menus were easy to navigate.Viewscreen clear and sharp despite small sizeCan be mounted magneticallyCons:IR is a little weak but acceptable for what I paidNo WiFi - not a big deal for me but if you want it, the A22 doesn't have itClip is fine for attaching to a shirt or jacket but will probably snap trying to attach to something thickerButtons - you may want a larger emergency on record button. For me, the smaller buttons are fine.12-20-22 - Updating my rating to 5 Stars. I encountered an issue with my camera which was absolutely my fault. I emailed the company with a question and they responded immediately and were helpful in resolving the problem I was having. It's a good camera for the price but good customer service is priceless.
