Okay ..so are you saying that somebody has copied the SJ5000 already? Or that SJCAM never actually manufactured the SJ5000... or somebody else has using their name?

My review about SJCam SJ5000 Wi-FI and SJ5000 Plus:

Stores:
SJCam





More pictures in gallery or in the YouTube video:

Few months ago some manufacturer, not SJCam, made some camera was launched with the SJ5000 name. Maybe that company wanted to make some profit using the SJ name based on SJ4000 popularity. You can find more on Techmoan review about SJ4000 WiFi at 1:57.

it's China, if someone makes it, someone else copies it

Only SJCam is making SJ5000. But before releasing of the SJ5000 model by SJCam, some online stores started to sell some camera the named as SJ5000. That SJ5000 name was not a factory name but a sellers given name just to make some people believing is the next model of SJ4000.
For example stores received on stock a camera named Amkov 5000 by the factory, but the online stores sold it as SJ5000, no other name near that SJ5000. Just to fool people is the new version of SJ4000 which obtained good feedback for a camera coming from nowhere.

Is something like an online store is starting selling a camera which is named Hero 5 even it is not a copy of a GoPro product.
They can even sell something like
GoProof Hero 5 Silver
GoProud Hero 5 Black Edition
GoProd Hero 5
GoBro Hero 5
BePro Hero 5
Who can stop that retards to not use a name like this?

My favorite recent Chinese brand name: YouOkLight

 

[Mtz]

I hope somebody will start making good LED bulb lights because until now the advertising of thousands of hours to be used is only about the LED not the electronic part. Something from electronic part is damaged too quickly.
I opened a thread based from idea of your brand name.

I'm using the SJ5000 and for some reason I'm not getting a 1080P output to my monitor via hdmi. Any suggestions?

 

[Mtz]

Mine is offering 1080i.

yes,we agree your saying!
Other sellers maybe used the same SJ5000 Model for their's item,so we suggest that you option SJCAM SJ5000 keyword instead;

There's a bunch of factories doing fake SJ4000 and SJ5000 product

 

[Mtz]

SJ5000 is harder to fake because the gift box is too complicated for a non-brained faker and... expensive? Fakers will take a risk to use an expensive gift box? ;-)
I don't think SJ5000 was faked until now. Selling other cameras which are not looking as SJCam SJ5000 was already done.

I am curious to know is SJCAM prosecuting them? Is that even legal in China (well common sense says its not)?
What happens with such factories?

I watched that in China there are large areas of cities specializing only in fakes. Because of the differences in law system, it takes a lot of while to close them, and in some areas, its legal. It was a documentary on fake products produced in China, so I just want to check how truth that is.

In China the copyright law is crap. Everybody is copying everybody. I don't think SJCAM is going to have much luck trying to sue those copycats. In fact GoPro can also sue SJCAM for copying the design of their action cam, so SJCAM doesn't have much of a ground to stand on in the first place.

In China means copyright is the right to copy?

 

[jokiin]

In China means copyright is the right to copy?

Pretty much, just like their R&D, Remember & Duplicate

 

[estore009]

Not truth,actually,there is one copyright for SJCAM camera,and they are working on it,and we noticed that they reported other fake within China market already,for example,aliexpress,taobao.com;
Anyway,as we suggestion,you can option SJCAM sj4000 or sj5000 for keyword to source it;

 

[estore009]

The wireless configuration file is on the Misc folder on the card and is named wifi.conf
You can open the file in a text editor and look for options.

The Android and iOS application is named LinkinEyes.

Today,we have a access to test its APP with my Iphone6+,and find its screeshot is not so clear as SJ4000 Wifi,is it the problem of iphone display problem?

 

[Mtz]

Is not clear because the streamed video resolution and bitrate from Sj5000+ camera to wireless device is low specs: low resolution, FPS and bitrate. You can see the numbers and letters from overlay image is good quality, so is not any device problem. Is just the way Ambarella is streaming the wireless part of video. You can see in camera settings that is possible to record dual stream. Try to copy the second stream (the smaller created videos) from SJ5000+ card on iPhone memory and play from there. You should see the same quality like on the wireless streamed video.
But the main videos are recorded with great quality but these videos are not streamed because too much data for a Wi-Fi connection.
