I have three of these 808 cameras, bought with Christmas present

computer and view them.

There are two ways that don't need the disk:

- Connect the camera to your PC with the supplied USB cable

- with any luck your micro-SD card came with a full-size SD-card
carrier

Â* and then use a standard SD-card reader to read it like any other SD

Not yet had a chance to use them in the glider, but I have been
practising on the ground.

Same here.

There are some really useful websites which help overcome the
inadequate instructions that come in the box the camera itself.

IMO this is one of the best:http://www.chucklohr.com/808 Its a bit
chaotically organised, but it contains a huge amount of information
about the various camera models, using them, exactly what's inside and
where the bits came from.

I see eletoponline on ebay have HD 1028 X 720P cameras they sell with
class 4 memory cards. Do class 4 cards actually work for HD video?

I like the look of the 720p bullet cams sold by Dogcam:

....but at 100 squids a throw it is in a rather different price range.
