Both web looks similar, but on www.sjcamhd.com, there is a page for "security check" so you can make sure that you bought the original one. (http://www.sjcamhd.com/safe/)

If you are familiar with Chinese products and brand like NooSy, Yoobao, or Jackly, they did this because most of their product get cloned so they made a specific page to check the serial number.
At the page, you can check whether the S/N on the product came up at the system, and how many times do that number come up (this to prevent other vendor copy and mass produced their product with one original S/N).

It's a good news for future buyers, because they can check the S/N at to confirm originality.
Looking forward for this!

Where can I find the serial number on my camera?

Where can I find the serial number on my camera?

I think the serial number will be on future camera manufactured in 2015. Usually, it will be on the packaging box on a sticker. If you bought the old batch, there won't be any serial number for security check.

For older models the serial number can be found inside the battery area S/N SJCAM2014.....

So is sjcam.com the official site?

Tnx for useful information

SJCAM.com is the 'official' site for main distributor for SJCAM products.
SJCAMHD.com is the 'official' site for the factory behind the SJCAM products.

Tnx for useful information

No probs. It's useful to fight against counterfeit products.
This method is very common for Chinese brand that already settles, but hate to see fake or clone from their fellow Chinese company (not being racist here).

just been trying to check mine, but as the serial number has 3x letter I or number1 and 2x letter O or number 0

hafter some time, I gave up trying to work out which was which as it kept saying it was a forgery

I read the bar code next to the serial number and that came up with http://www.sjcamhd.com/safe

 

[jokiin]

I wonder how long before there's a shipment of these all with the same serial number

That's exactly what I am wondering....

My recent purchase has a fantastic picture and night time ability..... and it checks out on the sjcam security site, came with sjcam stickers and the "red" sticky pad..... has the correct sized waterproof case and box.....sj cam battery and even a rubberised front panel with sjcam written on it.... firmware starts up with sj4000 and is version N20140929v01 etc ( the v01 suggests it has the old screen ?)


but....

Inside it has a 2013 front mode button circuit board with no sj cam written on it..

I was hoping for the "video lapse" feature, but its not there..

minus the 2 wifi settings it looks exactly like this in the menu s/ on screen..

Looks like you got an SJ4000 (non wifi version). It doesn't have videolapse/timelapse menu.

As for sjcamhd.com/safe, I was hoping it could be more like what Yoobao did to prevent fakes.
It will shown off how many times the serial number was checked, so we can know whether this is the real deal or fakes using original serial number.

Downside of that is that if someone buys a fake and checks first, then they think they have a real one, then when the guy/gal with the real ones comes to check they can see its already been checked once and thinks theirs is a fake. So I don't honestly think that is a good idea.

Don't think so.
The s/n is protected under scratch sticker, so if one buys the original, he/she would've known that it has been checked or copied.
Besides, I don't think someone who obtains the original, in order to make copies, would sell them again.

The verification check worked for me, i had no issues with 1's, I's, 0's or O's. Maybe your camera is a fake.
