Excellent service

Excellent service , even though I had made a mistake in setting up the camera with the SD card they immediately rectified my problem with replacement camera at no extra cost. Highly recommend and would deal with them again.

Great Service From Chilli Tech

Contacted Chilli Tech to see if I could buy an end cap for my bullet cam as I'd lost mine. Received a reply within hours advised that two caps had been sent out free of charge. From my email to the delivery, less than 24 hours.
Great service, great product. Would recommend and purchase from again.

What great people to deal with.

What great people to deal with, this is how customer service should be! Lost the end cap off the camera today during my commute, one email and a new cap posted out the same day!
I've had a couple of their cameras, I've fallen of my bicycle a couple of times all by myself and been hit from behind by a driver of a car who wasn't paying attention. The camera kept recording the whole time and is still in use today. Great kit for a great price.

Video record button ceased responding

Video record button ceased responding. Customer service did too - no 'phone. They kept it for several weeks then insisted it was perfect and showed video. It was still dead when they returned it. It eventually transpired the SD card had been removed. I say Chilli lost it, Paul says I took it out. Untrustworthy.

Edward - You purchased the WIFI Camera last August 2023. You said "the second button on my helmet cam has stopped working" - we said, no problem send it back to us & we'll get that looked at and replaced.

You then replied "2 x Cameras in the post" - we asked "what was the 2nd one?" - no reply.

2 x Cameras landed - one which you purchased in 2021 and the WIFI Cam.

1. WIFI Camera - as soon as we tested it - worked immediately, no issues, we even sent you a video showing. We placed an SD Card inside the Camera and it worked 100% as it should.

Here's the video we sent to you https://youtube.com/shorts/K8loX6Pk6yE?feature=shared

Your reply "Why did you ask me to send it back? It works in my left hand with the edge of my other thumb nail. It never works with gloves, or on my helmet."

We asked for you to send the Camera back because you said the Button was no longer working, you never at anytime mentioned the above!

2. Older Camera - the SD Card inside this Camera was a 512mb old Nokia SD Card (not even 2gb!) - super old and was not formatted correctly. We formatted it and it worked straight away.

Timescale to turnaround: You sent the Cameras back on the 16th May, we received them and sent you a Facebook Message (how you contacted us about the issue first) on the 23rd May - YOU DIDN'T RESPOND UNTIL THE 30TH MAY! We replied immediately and then nothing until the 6th June....

We didn't keep your Cameras - you just never replied to our messages.

Our email to you:

Hi Ed

The latest WIFI Camera that you sent works 100% as it should. I shot this video showing https://youtube.com/shorts/K8loX6Pk6yE?feature=shared

The Older Camera - that is the one where the button is not 100% but does still work. The issue when you sent this one was actually the SD Card, it just needed reformatting and you were using a super small Nokia 512mb SD Card

Here's the link to cover the postage back to you https://checkout.chilli-tech.com/products/postage-charge/

We'll get them both sent out as soon as that's paid.

Best regards

Paul

Regarding SD Card - you sent one old 512mb Card with the older Camera only. I even mentioned in the Video we sent you that we placed an SD Card in to test (because there wasn't one in it when you sent it in) - we sent everything back to you which you sent in. I checked it all over personally - owner of Chilli Tech, nobody else - you didn't send an SD Card back in that Camera.

On Sunday 7th June, you said the Camera now works after you placed an SD Card inside the Camera - it is not dead and nor was it when we sent it back. You said "I put a very old 512 MB card in. The recording sequence now blinks as expected"

After looking at all historic emails from you, this really isn't the first time that you have sent a Product that was 100% working as it should - you sent the older Camera back saying it was faulty and you were in "PHOTO MODE, NOT "VIDEO MODE" - your reply "Well spotted, though I think that's probably a recent knock with repeated card removals etc."

I have no problem with simple mistakes and user error even though this costs us money in returning items back and also valuable time, but what I do have an issue with is you have not only cost us valuable time which could be used helping others but you have done this repeatedly and then accused us of losing an SD Card that was never in your camera......

If anything is our fault, we sort it out. We don't lose SD Cards and if we did, we'd replace it - that's how we roll.

It really all makes sense now looking at it all - you simply didn't have an SD Card inside the Camera which is why you thought the Record Button didn't work (it won't record if there is no SD Card inside the Camera)

Since 2021 until now - on every email and correspondence we have always supported you and helped when you obviously hadn't taken the time to read the manual or watch our videos.

You won't be missed Ed

Best regards Paul

Impressive product, and superb customer service

I was never sure about whether to get what is effectively a dashcam for my bike. I cycle regularly, often for long periods of time, and after being called all sorts of names by a dangerous driver in Wales I thought the time was right to invest in one (I bought two in the end)

The one I use almost exclusively is the 4k camera and the quality is superb. I was most impressed when I emailed with some questions and Paul phoned me back. Yes, an actual phone call, how refreshing and brilliant is that! He knows his stuff and he is really helpful!

Within literally about 4 days of using the camera I had a campervan almost take me out (video link below if not removed) - genuinely frightening stuff, so I submitted this footage to the police as it clearly showed it all in such fine detail including the number plates. Within days I had an email back to say that they had a successful case against the driver... (they aren't allowed to give details)

In summary, just buy one. I for one wouldn't ride anywhere without them

First class customer service.

I’ve had cameras from Chill Tech for all of our bikes and until recently they all worked perfectly. One of them developed a fault so I messaged Paul at Chilli Tech who sorted diagnosed the faulty camera very quickly, sending out a replacement the same day. That is customer service.

Keep freeze…

Works when recording but keep freeze all the time when you check what has been recorded. Had the advised memory card, reinstalled the app several times, followed all advise from the customer support, issue not resolved.
First I thought might be because I've got Android, but then realised it keep freeze even when I check on my laptop.
Sometimes I can check all my journey without problems but very seldom. Most of the time it keeps freezing and I use the little pin provided to reset the camera five-six times (at least!) when checking the journeys records.
Video is quite pixelated, photos are okay.
I still use it and I hope, if anything happens, I would be able to get a proof even video is quite pixelated, but I'm going to bin it after I get better camera.
Reported several times to the customer support but issue never resolved and no more help offered. Once you buy the camera, the communication fades out and you are left by yourself.
Overall, I wish I spent more money for more reliable camera.

Update, I completely stopped using the camera, records are not clear, not always you can see the number plates.

Hi Paul, on my email you posted it's clearly saying that the camera KEEPS FREEZING and needs resetting all the time! Also, if you check our correspondence you will see how long has been between my email with the enquiry and your answer.
In addition, your response to my last email comes after I left negative feedback (which I very very seldom do). Your offer for upgrade comes a little bit too late. I don't trust your technology anymore.

Hi Mimi - just checked and we did reply to all emails. Just re-read your last one

"Hi Paul,

I put 32gb card today and went out for a half hour cycling.

The difference I noticed is that the clips on the app get open much faster, downloading is faster too but the camera still freezes when I open the records one after the other, almost every other records.

At least I've got the records, feel safer somehow.

Kind regards

Mimi "

To be honest, scanning your email, it looked like you'd solved it!

1. Download the Videos - should open and view those files with no issues

2. If the Camera keeps freezing when opening each file, no problem, we can switch for a replacement

3. The standard Camera covers most needs and captures Car Registrations required BUT as you may know, we also have a 4K Model which is a Higher Specification and also record at 60fps at 1080p - that one is +£28. You can send that Camera back and you can upgrade to the higher spec camera - this page explains the differences https://chilli-tech.com/content/4k-wireless-bullet-cam-for-cycling/

Let us know which option works best for you.

Best regards

Paul

Great product and customer service!

I bought a camera a while ago and its great, It does exactly what is needed. I found the online videos easy too follow and they helped me understand how to work it. I recently gave the safety cord a try, which when tied on to your helmet would stop the camera falling and hitting the ground if it was to fall out of the already secure helmet strap which you can secure to the top of the helmet. Now after my ride I lost 1 part of the 2 part safety strap. I was gutted as it made me feel alot more comfortable riding, knowing if worse comes to worse, my camera isn't leaving my side. I went and contacted Chilli Tech and explained the situation. They responded in great time and they were happy to help. I paid a few quid for postage and packaging and a few days later I received not only 1 but 3 parts of the bit I had lost/miss placed. If I was unlucky enough for the same thing to happen again and even another time I would be alright. The customer service was fantastic and the products great for the price. I would highly recommend Chilli Tech if you don't want to blow your bank to bits and still get a good quality video and picture taking opportunities when you're out and about cycling.

I found difficulty configuring the Bike Cam at first…

I found difficulty configuring the Bike Cam but after some panic emails from me, Paul phoned and within a couple of minutes sorted my problem. Camera is excellent, clear pictures and picks up sound. Not being a competent pc user I couldn't find the videos on my Windows 11 pc at first but my techie daughter soon resolved that by telling me to look for them in File Explorer and there they were.

very impressed with the service (and the cameras!)

Bought two cameras a little while ago. As a non-techie, it took me quite a while to get round to using them. The ports on one seemed to be misaligned - seemed to distort the SD card and couldn't record. Contacted Lisa at Chilli-Tech and very quickly got a replacement, no issues, no quibble, no hassle, and very helpful too = super service. Am very impressed with the cameras - they're perfect for my requirements (essentially a 'dash-cam' for my bicycle).

Good, reliable and economical bike cams; great service even post-warranty

I've used a MKII bullet cam for years - clear video (see front cam on road.cc 'Near miss of the day' 806), battery lasts 4 hours or so and carrying a spare battery doubles that. I've found it a much better front cam than more expensive and less reliable options I've tried. A second MKII for a different bike recently failed after the 1-year warranty expired. But Chilli sorted that quickly with no fuss or cost. I recently bought their newer wireless cam, too, for its longer battery life (although you can't swap the battery to double that), and so far so good. Operation and set-up of the cams isn't completely obvious at the start, but Chilli's on-line videos clearly explain what to do.

Responsive, friendly, helpful

Initially disappointed with the camera I purchased as it wasn’t working correctly. Chilli Tech were great though. Responded to my email, tried a few things to see if we could get the cam working and were quick to say send it back. They got in touch after a couple of working days to say they were sending a replacement,

Chilli cameras

Bought camera and spare battery last week for a very good price. It was speedily delivered and easy to set up. Much guidance is available both from Chilli's own site and you tube 'how to' videos.
Most impressive is the quality of recorded image and battery life, particularlyat the selling price.
Support from Chilli is first class and I have no hesitation in recommending both the company and the product.

Excellent product! Bullet Cam Mk2 is brilliant and easy to use. I had a problem with mine - self inflicted - but it was soon resolved by Paul. Customer service and support from Chilli is superb. I've had six catches with mine that the police have followed. I definitely feel safer with it on my rides.
