This is a decent device. It does what I wanted (take still shot pictures, take video with sound, and do audio recording). Despite the settings that say video 1080HD, photo 40Mp, the quality of the images and video does not appear to be as good as that. The audio sounds okay enough for such a device. I also like that you can disable Loop Record (which writes over what was written once the card is full), and that it supports night vision. And since it has a rotating lens (180 degrees), it also supports Image Rotation so the image is displayed right side up. And the battery seems to last, but I'm not sure about 10 hours yet. So all good. Except the SD card that comes with it. It is junk. I used it maybe three or four times, and it basically no longer responds. I lost an entire day of data. The device doesn't even think there's a card installed. I tried another quality card, and it works fine. I contacted the seller as this is nonsense. This isn't that cheap of a device, and I even paid the extra $7 to get the 64GB card. The description says "Comes with a high quality 32G/64GB card. " Not true! I wouldn't buy again, or certainly do not waste the money for the larger SD card, as it is junk. Let's see if the seller stands behind their description, and sends me a quality product replacement card. With a SanDisk or Micron card, I would raise the rating of this device. But so far, they don’t even respond. To sell something at this price point, and include some crap SD card, forcing you to have to go out and get another one, does not wash! So my recommendation is avoid this product. Do not reinforce this kind of business practice.

The company Boblov contacted me and informed me that they are working on a new SD Card, so I think it is clear they are aware of the issue. They offered me a refund in the amount that covered my purchase of a quality SD card, which I accepted. This is a fair and acceptable response on their part, and shows they stand behind their product and take care of customer issues very promptly! I am bumping my review to 5 stars. Not because I got some money back, but because they recognized the issue and took care of it immediately. I personally don't understand why they don't just ship with a decent card to begin with, but at least they didn't leave me hanging. But other than the issues I had with the SD card, the A22 really does do everything I want. Yes, the video and photo quality aren't the best, but it is about what I expected. I like that is has an LCD display (which I didn't mention above), so I can see what I'm taking a picture of, and I can disable loop recording, which I do not want (many don't allow you to disable this, which doesn't make sense to me). Also, given that the lens can rotate, the software does allow you flip the recorded image, which is great. I only wish there was a way to update the firmware to keep the device running at its best. I also wish the clip were a bit better. Also note, the clip has a magnet in it. Not super strong, but it can be very handy. Overall, I'm very pleased with the device and the company's response to my issue. I now recommend!
