Not knocking it, just pointing it out to other potential buyers.

I'm sure mine was a knockoff since the footage i've seen was definitely upscaled 720p, the mic is horrid, and it had a horrible beep which I disconnected. Totally worth the $25 price tag though.
I'm still not convinced the IR LEDS do anything. The night videos posted were in fairly lit areas. 6 LEDS isn't going to be wide enough nor powerful enough, but that's what headlights are for.
I'm eventually going to get a Blackvue soon though.
