OldShark 4K WIFI Sports Action Camera, Car Dash Cam Review

Extremely versatile action camera with masses of features and functions and great quality recording, this arrived in a pale blue Oldshark branded box that opened to reveal the camera case with a zip round the side. On opening it up it had cut outs in the black foam to hold all the parts and the camera, at the top it had webbing containing additional fixings, the manual for the camera and the selfie stick.


While I put the camera on charge with the USB lead supplied I had a good read through the manual which is glossy and very clear, none of this hard to read almost photocopy tat you sometimes see, the front of the manual is nearly all dedicated to showing you the accessories, how and what they fit to and how they link together all very detailed with good illustrations and diagrams showing what all the parts are on the camera all labelled, it then follows on to getting started which continues on the reverse side.


I went straight to the QR code and downloaded the WDTCam application to my Android phone all very simple and the manual walks you through connecting the camera to your phone via WiFi. Once the camera was fully charged I put a 16gb micro SD card in and ran through the settings on the camera then linked it via WiFi to my phone and opened up the WDTCam application, a very nice app giving you full control of the camera and allowing you to change the settings of the camera from the menu.

This isn’t just an action camera it also doubles as a dash cam and after testing it this isn’t just a ‘You can also use it as’ it has the full functions you find on most dash cams such as motion detection, loop recording, number plate setting etc so it is also a fully functioning dash cam should you with to use it as one.


I wanted to show as much recording as I could so first off put it on top of my monster truck and had a bit of a drive round and it handled this very well capturing some great footage, I then asked my daughter to take it out round the block on her scooter which also worked very well and then I gave the waterproof case a good test which it passed with flying colours no leakage what so ever.


I have added a video and will also add some pictures showing the unpacking, going through the menu on the camera, showing the WDTCam application in action, on top of my monster truck, my daughter going round the block on her scooter and an underwater case test. Please note the footage I got is crystal clear but due to size restraints I have had to reduce the quality somewhat and this also degrades considerable when uploaded but hopefully not too much.
