Technical features
In itself, the manufacturer of this cam is probably quite unknown to most people. But he does not only produce cameras but also many other electronic accessories as for example computer elements.
The waterproof Gembird ACAM-W-001 WiFi Full HD camera can be used as an action cam and a normal camcorder.
With a Full-HD video resolution at 30 frames per second and 2 megapixels, you get great pictures. The maximum operating time is about 3 hours.
The model doesn’t have Bluetooth but has WLAN, a USB 2.0 interface and an HDMI output.
Design and appearance
The design corresponds to the look of a conventional camcorder. The dimensions are as follows: 8.7 cm (width) x 5.5 cm (height) x 4 cm (depth). The weight is approximately 142 grams.
The small photo lens of the camera is in the front area and the 1.5 inch display of the Sports Cam is on the right side.
The camera is fully waterproof with its IP68 housing, so you don’t need an extra protective housing.

Conclusion
GoPro-Cams are the market-leading action cameras par excellence. As a rule, they deliver enormously high-quality shots, but they are damn expensive and not everyone wants to spend that much money.
Therefore, there are now many cheap brands that have also become established because the cams are cheaper and also have a lot to offer. The Gembird ACAM-W-001 WiFi Full HD Actioncam belongs to such low-priced models.
We were very impressed by the long battery life, which is much shorter in other action cameras. The resolution could be a bit higher, but apart from that the model is really super!
