The SJCAM SJ8 Pro is SJCAM's flagship action cam model that rivals the best GoPro and DJI cameras. The razor-sharp Ultra 4K resolution captures everything in the finest detail and on the large 2.3-inch touchscreen LCD screen, operation is super easy. The newly developed 6-axis image stabilisation also ensures that the images hardly shake or vibrate and the 5GHz view makes the connection to your phone lightning fast.
The SJCAM SJ8 Pro is equipped with the best image sensor that guarantees the sharpest image quality during the day and in the dark. The Ultra 4K resolution records all details super sharp so you don't miss a thing. The 720p 240fps super slow motion also lets you capture the most spectacular events.

The SJCAM SJ8 Pro is equipped with two screens on which all information is visible. On the 2.33-inch Touchscreen LCD screen on the back, you control the menu super easily. The 1.3-inch TFT screen on the front shows video information such as recording time and available space on the SD card.
The SJ8 Pro's lens is equipped with a newly developed 6-axis image stabilisation, making this action cam's images exceptionally smooth. Shocks and vibrations are largely counteracted, making the camera perfect for off-road videos or on motorbikes.
Besides the standard shooting modes, the SJ8 Pro also has a motion detection mode. With this feature enabled, the camera will standby and start recording only when a motion is detected in view. This makes the camera ideal for use as security when your car is parked.
Perhaps the biggest advantage of an SJCAM as a dashcam is that it has a rechargeable and removable battery. So - unlike other dashcams - you don't need to connect the camera to power in the car to film with it.
You simply charge the 1200mAh battery via the mains using the USB cable provided. Fully charged, it allows you to record around 100 minutes (70 minutes in 4K 60fps). For more recording capacity, an extra battery and Dual charger are optionally available (see accessories).
The SJCAM SJ8 Pro has various recording options, including Car mode. In this mode, you use the SJ8 Pro as a dashcam where it automatically switches on and off when you connect it with the optional car charger (see accessories). Loop recording needs to be turned on to automatically overwrite the oldest videos for new ones when the SD card is full. If you prefer to use SJCAM without connecting it in the car, you will have to start and stop recording manually.
The SJCAM SJ8 Pro comes very complete with several self-adhesive holders. This makes it easy to attach the camera to the windscreen or dashboard in the car. An optional suction cup holder is available for the windscreen to take the SJ8 Pro out of the car complete with holder.
The SJCAM SJ8 Pro is equipped with 2.4GHz and 5.0GHz Wifi, making connection to your phone super-fast. Via the SJCAM App for iPhone and Android allows you to change settings and view and quickly download videos. To connect to the SJCAM, you need to be within range of the camera and Wifi must be activated with the Wifi button. Using the Wifi settings on your phone, you can then connect to the SJCAM's Wifi network.
The SJCAM SJ8 Pro supports Micro SD cards of up to 128gb (not included). This is good for around 6 to 10 hours of 4K 60fps videos. With Loop recording enabled, the oldest footage is automatically overwritten for new ones when the SD card is full. This keeps the camera recording continuously and the last 6-10 hours of videos are always saved (with 128gb card).
The SJCAM SJ8 Pro has a large viewing angle of 170˚, allowing a large area around the camera to be recorded. For Car mode in particular, this is useful so you can capture every situation you see as a driver.
The SJ8 Pro lets you choose from multiple video effects to capture events in different ways. To capture longer events such as a car ride, sunset or construction process, you can use Time lapse where a picture is taken every second and later played back as accelerated video. For fast events, on the other hand, use Slow motion mode to make details more visible.
With the included waterproof casing, it is possible to use the SJ8 Pro up to 30 metres deep. So feel free to take the camera with you while diving or snorkelling.

 ChannelsThe number of cameras or “channels” the dashcam uses to film. A 1-channel 1CH dashcam films only the front and a 2CH also has a rear camera. A 3CH has an additional interior camera and a 4CH dashcam often consists of four separate cameras.

 ResolutionVideo resolution indicates how many pixels the videos consist of. Therefore, the higher the resolution, the larger the videos are and the more details can be seen. For example, 4K refers to the number of horizontal pixels (3840) of the video.

 Night visionThe quality of video at night or in low light conditions is mainly determined by the image sensor used in the dashcam. Some dashcams also have infrared LEDs, but these are mainly effective at short distances for interior cameras, for example.
|
|
 Viewing angleDashcams always have a round “fish eye” lens with a wide viewing angle so that a larger area around the camera is recorded. So a wider viewing angle means you capture more but also results in some distortion at the sides.

|
 Image sensorThe image sensor used determines the resolution of the videos and is the biggest determinant of dashcam image quality.
|
|
 ProcessorThe chip or processor is basically the computer or brain of the dashcam. It converts the images into digital video files (usually MP4 or AVI). Along with the image sensor, it is a major determinant of the quality of the final videos.

 WifiWifi allows you to view images on your phone or tablet within range of the camera (5 to 10 meters) without having to remove the SD card from the dashcam.
|
|
 GPSA dashcam with GPS records the current speed and location while filming. The speed can be displayed at the bottom of each video, this can be useful in determining the question of fault in an accident.
|
|
 Parking modeA dashcam with parking mode secures your car when it is parked. To use parking mode, the dashcam must be connected with a permanent power cable at the car's fuse box or to a Powerbank (see accessories).
|
|
 Parking mode typesIn parking mode, a dashcam films in a way that consumes less data and power such as in Time lapse (1 picture per second), motion detection or vibration detection. The dashcam automatically switches to this mode when you turn off the car's ignition.
