Used daily for 2 weeks and am impressed.
Before buying the Brifield BR1 I had paid half as much money for a Chinese manufactured item ( no names but "Robert likes a lot") that I used for a few weeks but was a major disappointment. Don't make the same mistake as me, here's why you should buy the BR1.
I assumed that a camera designed for Security/Police personnel would cope with movement. I tried various methods of securing the Chinese cam but just got blurry video. Never recognize a suspect from those videos! The BR1 comes with chest and shoulder straps and fitments. Image quality is very good and superior to the Chinese camera. I am a Behavioural Dog Trainer and have a great photo, taken from a video, of a dog biting my thumb. Needless to say I wasn't staying still at the time either. Sound quality is very good too, on the video mentioned above you can hear me very clearly!!
The BR1 is easy to operate whilst wearing gloves, something I cannot say about the other one and the camera top red light makes checking the camera status a doddle. I have to look at the camera front on the cheaper camera, which is far more annoying than it sounds. Battery life has been amazing so much better than my old action cam and the storage is far more than I need, but good to have.
I have used it in the rain and the dark without any complaints.
Don't have any real issues with the Brifield camera. But I would like a remote fob. It would bring more versatility to the BR1 I got used to having one attached to my belt and I used it a lot. Pity the camera it operates is not so good.
The BR1 is a quality item and, in my honest opinion, well worth the money.
