Hello everybody!
As I'm brand new to this forum I would like to say hello at first ..if it not a correct directory please move to correct one...
I'm now on short Christmas holidays in Athens and recently buy a action cam (second in my life).... I have clone on SJ4000 since 3yers now but I I found recently pretty cheep camera... for 24Euro in a market between carrots
Can anybody will be so pleased to help me witch model is this camera ? ...Its says on the box action camera 1080p/30FPS... Quality is of the picture is s##t while overall looking is super.. ,lcd 2" is rather good...it have Wi-Fi access an I can easily put connection via android app Go Plus Cam....
The main question is: Can I upgrade the firmware (currently 20180418 v1.0) and boost the quality of this camera? I believe that it can record 60 fps in HD mode.... now it have 1080i /30fps or 720p/30fps
chipset is MPF9R64.00 other second chipset is SV6030P.... I have upload pictures...
thx Radek

Your cam is based on a low-end Generalplus chipset and probably uses an 1.3Mp sensor. So, I don't think the image quality can be boosted here.

Could you share a sample video? I wonder how bad it is.

Hello!
I'm also brand new to the action camera topic and it happend I bought this low cost camera, exactly the same (in Greek market between carrots).
I turned it on and tried, everything was ok (for this price). But after long winter that I didn't use camera at all, now it has white screen problem: video is working, screen - no. My laptop doesn't recognise camera, so I can only put info directly to the memory card.
Maybe somebody can advice what can I do (except to buy normal camera)? What model is close to this one?
Thanks!

not sure how to recover those dirt-cheap cameras. so hehe buy a "normal" camera -- a Rich F60 Allwinner V3 from Aliexpress USD ~$30, or an Eken H9(R) from Aliexpress USD ~$35
