 Great idea, but bad decissions and too limited
By Markus Egger
This product is a great idea. A little wearable camera. Who wouldn't want that?
Well, unfortunately, there are a number of flaws with this device.
For one, the quality is not very good. 15 frames per second and low resolution. This means your videos are not going to look as good as the example videos. Also, the camera has a more or less narrow field of vision. It would be much better if it taped a wider angle, because you are not going to be that good at aiming the thing. (You may kinda see the effect in their sample video on YouTube where the guy proposes to his girlfriend and video tapes largely her chest... it's involuntarily funny).
Also, in some manner the camera would need a severe effigy stabilizer. I have no idea how that would work with a camera like that, but the reality is that people move their heads a lot and very fast and with the low frame rate and resolution, that is a problem to begin with, and even if that was better, humans watching your videos are still going to get disoriented or worse, unless you severely restrict your movements.
The device also doesn't seem to be very sturdy. My ear-plug share broke off the primary day. Granted, I wore it under an ice hockey helmet (and Looxcie even says it isn't meant to be a ruggedized product). But it's not like I took a shot to the head. It was just pushing it under a comparatively tight helmet that did it, disappointingly.
The worst aspect of this product nevertheless is what will have to go down as one of the oddest technical and business conclusions of all time: The camera requires a smart phone to operate. You may now use an Android phone as well as an iPhone. That is mandatory. I have no idea why. Granted, it is a cute to use the phone display as a view finder. Kudos for that. It is also nifty to be competent to quickly upload 30 second snips of video to all kinds of sites. I like that as well and may think of a great deal of uses for that. But I may also think of a great deal of scenarios where I need more. And you don't get that.
You have to use the phone to do all video editing. The camera has galore proprietary internal storage mechanism you can't get to unless you turn your buffered video into snippings of up to 30 minutes of video. So you use your phone to scan back and forth in videos to cut them. If you have ever employed the iPhone video player, you know what a pain that is. Now when you do that, the video is still stored on the camera.
And grabbing these video segments is SLOW. I think what happens is that the phone grabs video segments from the camera, puts them together into a video file, and then puts it back onto the camera. Or perhaps it just in some manner instructs the camera to do this. Either way, it takes forever. (You may likewise download videos to your phone, once they are saved as snippets. That is even slower. Downloading 5 minutes of video to my iPhone took 15 minutes or so... and then it crashed the phone). Which is no huge surprise really, because neither the camera nor a smart phone has sufficient power to do a lot of video editing. And your segments are fixed to 30 minutes max.
And if it is more than a minute or 2, it is too huge to just upload to web sites like YouTube of Facebook. So what you will end up doing is this: You have the camera recording (which is a bit fidgety, but OK). Then, you use your phone to try to edit the segment you want. You then wait for that to save (like 10 minutes or more). Then, you repeat the same thing with your next 30 minutes. Except it is closely inconceivable to find the right stitching points. If you want all 5 hours of video, you need to make at least 10 segments. More likely 15, since you will have trouble with the overlap. You do the math on how long that takes. Then, once you are done, you plug the USB cable into your computer and download the videos. Well, commonly it takes a few tries for a Windows 7 machine to recognize the camera as a storage device. But then you may download your video.
Why the heck they would not use a PC to concede for editing and view finding is totally beyond me. They could have applied PC Bluetooth. They could have applied the USB cable. They could have produced a powerful app that grabs everything on the camera and then you could have done innovative editing effortlessly on the PC. Or they could have leveraged existent video editing software. And processing videos that are more than 30 minutes would not have been a problem at all!
Oh, and you better not alter your phone. Because if you alter your phone (which most people... particularly gadget freaks that are likely to buy this camera... do often) then your camera may be useless. Or who knows? What if Looxcie's software (which only runs with some difficultness on the iPhone now it seems) won't be upgraded to the next version of the OS? Then you are stuck with a camera that may only record 30 second segments of video, because that is all it may do without a phone.
This whole decision so boggles my mind, that I would in truth like to meet the person who made it, because you actually don't often get the prospect to meet persons that think and reason rather so differently from the rest of us. It would be a meeting I would never forget, I am sure 
Anyway: I considered giving this product only 2 stars. But on the other hand, it is not all that expensive. And it is kinda nifty in what it does. If only they hap PC software, it would be much better. The overall conception is awesome. I will surely buy a newer one once they have HD and higher frame rates and such. But for now, it is just a nifty gadget that has potential but doesn't in truth rather do what you are hoping for.

 I think this thing works great for what it is...
By Seattle_BassMan
Hey, if you're expecting HD quality video on a device you wear over your ear...well, you're kinda out of luck at the moment (though I'm sure that's coming in the not too distant future). But this device in truth records better video than I expected. Of course, perchance I just had low expectations. I think in truth though, I just had realistic expected values and the Looxcie has met or exceeded those. I was thrilled to see this device in the pages of Popular Science a couple months ago, then bummed to find out that it was not available for the iPhone at that time. Luckily they got the iPhone version ready before the Christmas season and my wife hit a home run by making sure it was under the tree in time.
I've only been using the Looxcie for one day so far (since Christmas), but I've recorded a bunch of clips and also downloaded the entire video buffer (a welcome new feature) to my Mac (a very simple process) and the video looked rather good. Yeah, it's a little grainy, but not bad. It's surely better than my capacity to do not forget each detail of each moment. Also, it looks like they have a new feature coming to iPhones that adds 30fps at 480 resolution, so the quality will be even better (granted with a shorter record time).
I've never seen a device like this before, so I'm more than willing to live with it not rather being everything to every one at this point. I'm sure it will get better and even at it is current stage I'd say it's pretty darn good. The biggest downside for me is that it seem rather huge equated to a standard bluetooth headset. I was concerned that I would get a lot of weird looks and stares from people. But, I speedily realized that most persons either were not concerned with what I was wearing on my ear or just thought it was an old school blue tooth headset. I do wish it was a bit littler though...but I'm sure that will come in time as well. Overall I'm rather happy with the device so far. 6 of 6 persons found the following review helpful.
 LOOXCIE ROCKS!!!
By Shannon
I was so excessively affected emotionally when I firstborn saw this product since I've been looking for something like it for so long! I've seen other similar products, but they are so bulky and not at all practical. Looxcie is without delay dissimilar in that it is so easy to handle. But Looxcie isn't just a camera, it's a bluetooth headset too. This thing is unbelievable! I was capable to make calls and answer incoming calls. And as if that wasn't enough, this is almost a "too good to be true" product given it is great price point and ease of installation. If you have an iPhone or Android, you may download it from the control panel where you normally pair bluetooth-devices. Be sure to download the FREE apps from Appstore or Android market (just run the app - it's that easy!) There's two apps - LooxcieMoments and LooxcieCam. I liked LooxcieMoments best as it records constantly in the background when you wear the device and put it in record mode. With one press of a button you save the last 30 seconds. I applied this over and over when my 8 year old was attempting to explain to his big sister what Viagra (based on a mercantile he had seen). It was hilarious and I never would have been capable to do the story justice without the Looxcie!!! And speaking of kids, you may likewise edit the clips on the phone and percentage them - clips may be up to 30 minutes long. Although the quality isn't as good as video, you need to know that this product isn't meant to be employed that way. It's fundamentally a "re-do" resource that is competent to capture the times when you will have to have had the video camera on! Given that, the quality of the Looxcie-footage is perfect.
Looxie is exceedingly easy to use. I can't overstate this since I am not peculiarly good at this type of thing - I'm a stay at home that just wanted to capture moments from my kids' lives! I did need a lot of tech help because, as I said I'm not good at this type of thing, and I can't tell you how outstanding they were. They were courteous, didn't talk down to me and distinctly explained the fix (I made an error in use).
Go get the Looxcie and start out having fun! At $199, there is no reason not to!!! See all 29 client reviews... |
