M5 2K Body Camera

As a bus driver in the UK unfortunately I experience more abuse from passengers and drivers that drive dangerously. As my company doesn't have the newest buses the onboard CCTV isn't always there to protect me. With this body/dash cam from Boblov I hope to be able to protect myself from false accusations. I have been testing the Boblov for several days now and these are my comments: Pro's: - Very good quality of image. I recorded and tested on 1080/30 and 1440/30 and both are very good. - recordings on 1080/30 you can zoom in and out before you turn the camera on - The Battery lasted for 12/13 hours before recharging was needed. note: I filmed 8 hours on 1440/30 which have an influence on the battery. - Sound is very clear - Alarm works very well. One push and it makes a lot of noise :-) - easy menu and the options are easy to understand. No cons but…. - Because of the weight of the body cam, the short and long clips are not always keeping the camera in its place but you can solve it by getting a body camera vest or a magnet. I have to wear a normal shirt/uniform so I have been using the clip for being sucked on the window screen as I want to record passengers talking to me in combination with the dashcam. - I had to download another video player (MK Player) as the default Quicktime Player doesn't support the sound. Overall I am very pleased with this body/dash cam as I have been looking for a good quality one with a long battery life. I hope I never have to use the footage I am recording but if I have to I can count on a perfect silent witness!

After months of research I finally decided on the BOBLOV M5 and right out of the box I found it ready to go and surprisingly easy to use, video quality is really good, so good that I find 1080p to be more than adequate and maximisees space. I got just over 10 hours filming at 1080p out of the battery. On plugging it in to my Mac with the supplied cable a folder appeared with all my clips ready to view or edit it is really that simple. The supplied car mount is pretty good and the 170 degree video capture is great. All in all a great body cam and a great dash cam. BOBLOV you smashed it!

Picture quality and battery life are the best things about this bodycam. Easy to use and I particularly like the car mount so it can be used as a dashcam too. Easily transferred between car and body. You will need to pay for an additional magnetic mount if you need to attach it to your clothes as it is unstable without (shame it's not offered as part of the kit). Finally, the quality of the software you have to download for displaying your journeys on a map is awful! It simply doesn't work so I can't reproduce my movements on a map (especially disappointed since I chose the GPS version in order to do this). Lost one star because of this.

Six months ago I was not very aware of Boblov as a brand. I have used a few of their devices but the name of the company had not registered. In March I ordered an M5 2K for testing. This is a serious piece of kit not an amateur toy. Accordingly it needs some investment in learning how it functions. Try to use it like a Go-Pro and it will work but if you want or need a Go-Pro buy one, don't skimp and expect to get the same thing. This is a security device designed to be used to gather evidence. The M5 2K comes with a good range of accessories. I would recommend the magnetic mounthttps://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08J3N9Y5N/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 if you want to quickly transfer the camera between different layers of clothing. RECOMMEND: If the camera is still running the 2022 firmware, contact the friendly customer services email and ask for the latest 2023 firmware. It improves a number of minor glitches and makes the camera far more reliable to operate. NOTE: The interface/charging cable is Mini USB. Not commonly used but very robust compared to mini USB. Don't get caught out without a cable or compatible charging dock. Most retail outlets are very unlikely to stock Mini USB cables or adapters. There are plenty available online. I would recommend Lindy Anthra cables https://www.amazon.co.uk/LINDY-36721-Mini-B-Cable-Anthra/dp/B07FW6R31T/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?keywords=lindy+mini+usb&qid=1684314148&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1.

We have a reactive dog and although we take every precaution to ensure that she is always under control on walks, there have been occasions when others have not taken their responsibilities for their dogs as seriously as they should, and we have ended up in situations that could have been avoided if they had been responsible dog owners. Hence the reason for purchasing this camera. We took it for a test run today at a dog park in the wind and rain. The footage is very good, I'd set the recording quality to 2K and it is quite impressive, certainly clear enough should it ever be needed as evidence. The audio was hampered by a strong wind, but in the moments when the wind died down, our voices and others in our party could be heard very clearly without having to strain to hear them. The mics seem sensitive enough for evidential use if we ever need the audio. We also took some good stills with this. Works well in heavy wind and rain. Viewing footage on a PC is easy. Plug in the cable and navigate to the unit's folders, then select what you want to view/download. Managing the unit's content is also easy. I haven't used all of the unit's capabilities yet and I may update this review when I've had the opportunity to do so, but my experience thus far has been very positive and I am happy with this unit.

Tolle Bodycam zu fairem Preis. Bei diesem Modell ist, besser als beim Vorgänger, die Laufzeit der Batterie deutlich besser. Auch die Aufnahmen sind länger (20 statt fünf Minuten pro Video). Die Qualität der Aufnahmen ist auch super. Klare Kaufempfehlung!

Als Bodycam hat sie bei mir gut funktioniert. Jedoch als Dashcam im VW Golf,Passat +Opel Corsa+MERCEDES nicht brauchbar da die Frontscheiben zu steil sind. Mit einem Zusatzgelenk wäre es machbar.

Nice unit

La CAM e ottima posizionabile in qualsiasi posto, semplice da configurare, il menù della cam di può scegliere la lingua italiana,,,, utile per chi va in moto come nel mio caso e altri usi, per il momento tutto ok vedremo la durata della batteria recensito più avanti.... Unica pecca che non ha il wifi per poter scaricare i filmati sul telefono, poco male c'è sempre il computer l'importante e poter dimostrare nel caso di controversie. Il venditore Boblov molto veloce nel rispondere e a dare assistenza. Aggiungo a distanza di tempo che la batteria dura veramente tanto più di un mese con un uso saltuario quando vai in moto, ma la batteria aveva ancora una tacca, ho scoperto che collegando il cavetto in dotazione alla TV si vedono tutti i filmati con una risoluzione fantastica e che non ho impostato la massima risoluzione, qualcosina risente delle vibrazioni anche perché essendo fissata si vestiti con il supporto magnetico fantastico peraltro anche questo articolo veloce da mettere e da levare marca sempre Boblov, ma a riguardo le immagini sono più che soddisfacenti. In conclusione ottima,CAM ottimo venditore, velocemente a rispondere,e poi amazon una garanzia.

Nu bijna 2 maand dagelijk in gebruik. Ideaal. Op 2k gecomprimeerd doet slaat hij tot ongeveer 3 weken op. Via een programma kun je de gps met beeld bekijken en downloaden op je pc/laptop. Heel scherp beeld bij stilstaan maar bij bewegen is het wel wat minder. Geluid is ook prima. Makkelijk in gebruik. Hij kan stil filmen, dus zonder dat iemand het ziet (geen verlichting/lampjes). Alleen infrarood zie je dan nog wel aan staan als je deze gebruikt. De bij behorende magneet houder, welke apart gekocht moet worden, is ideaal en sterk. Je stoot hem er niet zomaar af. Gebruik hem ook als dashcam. Ideaal.
