I received mine last night. Not much to report yet. The manual is fairly useless but the camera controls are not that hard to figure out. My only negative discovery is they won't pause recording by pushing the OK button. To get it to stop recording I had to hold the power button down and turn off the cameras. I emailed support last night and received a reply this morning with instructions on updating the firmware. I will use mine as dash cams so this won't really affect my use often. I put one in car mode and it starts recording when power is applied to the camera and stops when it is removed.
After ordering I found a link to a two battery charger with two batteries for $15. I would have ordered that along with mine to get the free shipping but since I didn't know about it or order with the other components I will hold off to see if there is any need. Probably not on my part since they will mostly run off my vehicle power ports. I did use my Samsung wall charger to top up the installed batteries and they were fully charged in less than an hour. Not sure how much charge was in them. They come out of the box with a battery installed and a spare in the mount package. They were nicely packaged.
Finally if I would have seen this for $10 more I would have ordered it instead. Bigger screen, higher quality video, and wi-fi.

One of these battery chargers would also be nice.

Final Edit and update: The video quality from the cameras I received are not as clear as the video I get from my current 808 #16 720P camera. I can't even read tag numbers from this video when the vehicle is stopped in front of me. Cameras are going back.
