Bug-Randomly switches to Recording Mode&No Support
588295
iTalk plugs into the iPod very nicely, and the concept is great.

The bug I found was that in the middle of playing a playlist of songs using the speaker, the iTalk randomly switches over to recording mode from play mode. There is no setting to change this.

 I checked the manual for help (it is just a 7 pages in total and no valuable info, just a namesake manual).I checked the FAQ, which is just 3 questions in total and my issue is not covered there.

 So then I looked all over the Griffin website for a telephone number or email to contact the support, there is nothing of the sort. So here I am left with a faulty device. Therefore I would not reccommend this device.

At first when i would record at 1080p it would record 1 minute and start a different recording, so i ended up with a bunch of one minute videos. Then I went to charge it and it would only turn on and start recording in car mode.  I tried turning it off, having it plugged in, on, but not recording, but nothing will charge it. Please help.

As many others have reported, mine too has lost the ability to record.  Its been used for maybe 50 hours of recording in the past 1 1/2 years and is now completely worthless.  Don't buy it!  It'll work great for a bit, then fail on you when you most want it to work :(

the camera worked very well but lately it seems to automatically start in video mode and takes random videos instead of taking still images.
i have to pop out the battery in order to take still images then after a few the camera reverts to video only...frustrating...

I had to send it back because it would not record. Once the "Record" button was pressed, a green screen will pop-up with some lines. It did it with new batteries, different batteries, new micro SD Card, and nothing. I would have to take the batteries out every single time. Returned it.

Not sure if it's the memory stick or the box, but recording is really bad.  Will try using a different memory stick and add another star if it's not the box

The camera itself is pretty good but I encountered a problem when trying to use the mic and video at the same time. I was talking on Skype and people said they could hear a very annoying high pitched noise when the mic and video were both used. When I turned the video off, they couldn't hear the noise anymore. Since my headset mic broke, I had to use the mic on the camera, but since the noise was bothering people I couldn't use the video at the same time. Since buying a new headset (which I wouldn't have had to if this camera mic actually worked...) I disabled the mic and using the video does not cause the noise.

The hardware is made exceptionally well, however, I've had nothing but problems with this camera.  My issues with this camera are primarily its inability to record on motion, it's lack of app reliability, and lack of tech support.  An average email response takes 1-3 days, and no telephone number for tech support is provided.  I've emailed tech support a minimum of 5 times regarding it's inability to record on motion, which is the main reason I bought this camera.  In addition to that, the last 3 days their server has been down, and my emails regarding this are going unanswered.  I bought this product 10 months ago and boxed it back up out of sheer frustration & lack of support after the first week.  When I unboxed it again a few weeks ago, my problems still remain, and my emails to tech support are met with more questions than answers.

My 5th email regarding my 128gb micro SD card reading "NOT READY"  was answered with this response from info@trivisiontech: "Are you talking about the micro SD card recoding or remote access the camera in the app ?"  (That was the email response from tech support, less than 20 words with zero solution.  And yes, that says "recoding", not "recording", that's exactly how the email was written).

When a response like that comes 2 or 3 days after waiting patiently for help & after multiple emails regarding the SAME question, I have concluded that pulling my hair out is equally as painful as relying on tech support from TriVision.  I think it's important to let others know, that just because it's sold by AMAZON, an American company, it doesn't mean that your business is appreciated, or worthy of support, nor does it mean that the products sold are held to Amazon's high standards of business practices.

To summarize:  tech support from TriVision is not an option when tech support is needed.  That being said, I am still in need of assistance, I cannot get camera to record on motion.  If anyone has any suggestions please comment!  Thank you!

My unit stop recording a year after normal use.  (2 weeks after the 1 year warranty ended) None of the buttons are responsive to touch, the screen is on and I see the red and green light active, but checking the SD cards shows that there are no video recorded.  Tried to contact Falcon technical support and got answer machine.  Submit email for support and got no response.  If I've have known that this product lifespan is 1 year, then I would have picked another less expensive or more dependable product.  Very disappointed int he product and company support.

-------------------

Solid recording unit, but can't keep time.

Pro:
Solid build quality.
Great 1080p resolution, and sharp video.

Cons:
Time will not be kept unless you installed the GPS module.  I installed this unit not needing the GPS, but as it turned out the time will reset back to 1/1/2000.  For such a solid recorder, I would expect the battery to keep time much better without needing the GPS to sync time.

The glass mounting suction cups are average quality, and they fell down from my windshield a couple times.  Luckily the device is solidly build, so there is no damage to it.

Thought it was great until I realized there was clicking every time I tried to record. Disappointed but returning it was a breeze.

Has a nice build but randomly changes f stop in the middle of recording. Ruined several shots for me. It also gives such bad flares.

Closeli, the cloud recording service, no longer offers recording services.  All you will get is live view, no ability to review footage, which makes this worthless!!0

This is a good camera in that I can monitor my baby from my iPad, phone, or kindle and I can also move the camera from those devices. What I do not like is that, for some reason, the camera just restarts itself randomly. Then I have to wait for it to finish homing so I can put it back in the position I want, it's very annoying.

My biggest beef with my HERO4 Session is that somewhere between a third and half of the time when I press the button to record, the device does nothing!  Then I press the button again after waiting either a few seconds or up to a minute or more, and the LCD indicates it recorded and saved a small video or a couple pictures.  Then I press the button again and it works fine.  If it were able to turn on every time you press the button instead of most of the time, it would rate higher.  I am hoping a firmware update can fix this but if you want a reliable camera that starts recording when you press the button, this isn't it right now.

Edit: seems to be better and snappier with the new firmware.  Put in 24 FPS 1080!
