Latest (2023 release) Chilli-Tech camera

A basic comment review is posted on YouTube for the latest Chili-Tech bullet camera that was released a few days ago.

This is the page with the deal pricing on (as it doesn't seem to be linked from the website homepage?): https://chilli-tech.com/content/bullet-cam-with-wireless-app-connectivity/

This is the video showing the camera, which the comments are on: https://youtu.be/10zVeaUtL4o

The pasted comment follows:
"My first impressions on the new camera are generally good. I can't comment much on image quality yet as I've only run with the cameras (not cycled) and it was low light and raining. Therefore there was a lot of vibration. My observations are:
1. Sound recording is much better. [GOOD]
2. The LED lights to show is recording are much clearer. [GOOD]
3. The camera feels lighter. [GOOD]
4. The WiFi function (using an Android phone) it's basic but works well. [GOOD]
5. Whilst the camera body is aluminium, the end cap is plastic and it has no hole to allow for a lanyard to be fitted for extra fixing security onto a bike. [BAD]
6. Because the control buttons are raised, the mount has to be positioned to hold the camera closer towards the lens, rather than in the centre, leaving it slightly less well balanced than the MKII camera [BAD]
7. The video files that are saved are given a filename like MOV0001.mp4. The previous MKII used the date and timestamp to create the filename which made finding the correct file much quicker and easier than this new naming convention. Hopefully this can be corrected with a firmware update in the future. But, for the time being, it's not as good as the previous system [BAD].
8. By using the app / WiFi connection, the time and date are set to that of your phone automatically. This is much better than the previous clunky method on the MKII [GOOD]

Overall, I like the new camera and if the image quality does prove to be better and the battery life is better than the MKII, then I am very pleased with it. Thanks Chilli-Tech!"
