If you have an android phone you can pop the camera sd card in to it and remove the videos off straight on to a USB stick plugged in the bottom of your phone with a OTG cable, a quid on eBay. Thus leaving your card clear to format in the camera at the end of everyday if you are away.

Well received it today.  Very easy to set up,  just had a quick test of it before I make a hole in the side of the waterproof box for the power cable

Can you sent video to public please? :-) There have been issues with charging socket detaching, I'd be tempted to take mine apart and add a little araldite with a heat gun...

The micro USB power socket which can be powered off the bike. I purchased a USB cigarette lighter plug that had a 3amp output to run the USB lead off. I drilled the waterproof plastic box with a 4mm drill as I hoped that the USB lead would pass through enough to power the camera, but unfortunately it didn't have enough length so had to drill it out to 10mm hence the mess of the hole. I was able to seal this with a rubber grommet. I wouldn't put it under a pressure washer but I'm confident it will keep the rain out.

My intention now is to chop the end off the cigarette lighter plug and solder a wire on and wire straight into the front auxiliary wires.

Be warned there is a step down to the voltage so do not wired direct into the bikes electrical system.

Zeb, they use a 5v micro USB phone car charger so I got one of those and just chopped the end off and soldered a pair of tail wires on and connected through an inline fuse to the front aux wires so still uses the 12v down to 5v.

The picture quality is comparible with the GoPro  but the sound quality is far better that anything I can get out of my GoPro - has to be the way to go me thinks as I'm looking to replace the GoPro Hero I have as I scratched the lens (silly boy).

Thanks for all the info....

I see you are still using the plug unit :)

Have you updated the firmware? The on screen date / time is ore for dash cam applications I always turn it off...http://actioncamfaq.com/tag/sj4000/
