Hi Guys
Wondering if anyone can help here with this cam - I have tried searching for threads about this particular model on this site but can not seem to find anything about it.
This is a cheap generic cam purchased off Ebay for about £12 a while ago - they are selling these things everywhere here in the UK even at supermarket petrol stations - Cheap as hell and comes with terrible Chinese to English translated instructions BUT it does the job. Quality is not amazing and certainly NOT anywhere close to 1080P but the recordings and audio are more than clear enough and night vision works ok for me
All being said I have a minor problem that I have been trying to find a solution for all over the net BUT the internet is flooded with adverts selling these devices BUT nothing in the way of help about them is possible to be found lol
The unit records and also saves (Locks) recordings when I push the lock button but when I connect the unit to my PC to playback files I get errors on SOME but not all of the files when attempting to playback using any media player -
"Unidentified codec: VLC could not identify the audio or video codec"
I use VLC media player but have also tested in Windows media player - I have also made sure both players are up to date with the latest version
It is weird because some of the files play fine with no issue so it is only on a random selection of the files that this is happening
I have tried to look at the possibility of updating the Cam firmware but can not find anything to help
Tried multiple settings on the Cam including switching the recording mode to 720p from 1080p but this has not helped
Does anyone have any ideas
Sorry if i have posted in the wrong forum
