Which model do I have?

How do I determine which model I have?

 

[jokiin]

spec would likely be correct as shown on the box, it's the knockoff version, not from the original manufacturer

 

[David Sheets]

Is the version up to date?
My version is: B40.20160311.001

If the camera powers up without being plugged in it is the battery version not the capacitor version.

Also B40 is the cheaper version.

if it's working ok I'd say leave it alone, other versions of firmware may not work correctly for your hardware even though they may look the same externally

Has this on the side of the box: Safego

When turned off, it stays on for under a second. Says goodby nearly imidiately, and shi]uts off.

battery version can be turned on when not connected to power, capacitor version won't power up

 

[David Sheets]

It won't turn on without the power connected.

It won't turn on without the power connected.

probably the capacitor version then

the box looks similar to the viofo a118c but does not actually say a118c - i agree it's a copy. but as long as it uses a novatek chipset it should be ok. the REAL cheap knockoffs use some other chipset that provides inferior video quality.
