Or gift it to someone who wants it.

Consider it the cost of learning about these toy cameras.

Gives new meaning to several old sayings:

"Jack of all trades and master of none"

"Buying a pig in a poke"

Even their website does not give any specifications on the device.

................

Something to be sold by a huckster.

It slices, it dices, it crawls upon its belly like a reptile.

.............

Just chalk it up as "lessons learned" and put it in the trash.

I haven't used this much; seems the company itself has evaporated or otherwise fallen on hard times. I have downloaded lots of vid onto my desk top; but when I click on any of them, it won't play. Am I completely fubed on this or anybody have any knowledge/experience that can help?
TIA,

The marketing of the SupaCam was a fraud from day one.

A poorly designed/made product intended to be marketed by a huckster (flim flam salesman) at special events, for an exorbitant price.

There was no intent to support the product once it was sold.

Cut your losses and toss the SupaCam in the nearest trash can.
