Lovely people great product

The customer service people are lovely to deal with. I ordered a pro bullet cam 17th Feb and a cree light and a spare battery. As they were upgrading there was a delay in sending it which i accepted. They kindly emailed me some information to get me ip and running and the camera is great.

Amazing products, great customer care

Purchased a pro Cree helmet light. It was super bright and covered a big area which is what I wanted for mountain biking at night. Unfortunately it stopped charging so contacted them and they asked to send it in. After couple of days got a message back saying the light was faulty and I will be getting a replacement. Great customer service on top of already great product, what more could you ask for. Would definitely recommend their products to anyone looking for a bright bike light.

Great customer service

Great customer service, took the time to call and explain/discuss the option that would work best for my 12 year old daughter. Timings were really tight due to the cameras just coming back into stock but the Chilli team made sure it was with me ready for my daughters birthday. Thank you so much!

My brilliant bullet camera

I’ve had my bullet camera for about a year and it’s brilliant, the video is really clear. It’s also easy to use. An added bonus is the rapid response to queries - usually within the hour. I highly recommend them

Chilli Technology; a great company who make great products.

Chilli Technology sell very well made and reasonably priced lights and cameras for cyclists of all disciplines. They are of high quality and work exceptionally well. I have bought 3 different lights and the bullet camera, as have some of my friends, and we are all extremely pleased with how the products perform.
They easily compare to much more expensive brands and are better value.
In addition to the high quality products their customer service is of the very highest level, which makes dealing with Chilli Technology so enjoyable.

Good lamps, great service

I have bought two of thier cree front bike lights. They function very well. The 'elastic band' fitting to the handlebar appears a bit temporary but has not been a problem in practice.
One light did develop two issues after a year or two of moderate use:
1) The plastic part which fits between the lamp and the headlamp cracked, perhaps the screw was made too tight
2) One of the two switches became unreliable.
Although my unit was out of guarantee Chilli Tech customer service posted me a replacement lamp free of charge.
So no complaints from me; happy to recommend.

Head torches and service

Bought some headlights from them; there was a defective switch and the team sorted the problem out really well.
The test of a good company is not when everything goes well, it’s when there is a problem and how they resolve it.
I gave ***** because there was not an option for 6!
Highly recommend their product (soooo bright!) and service.

Good value and excellent after sales

Bought a pair of bullet cams for my cycle commute, picture quality is ok considering the price, has been good enough for reporting incidents to the police, but sound isn't great (though that does mean no-one can hear me swearing!). Customer service responded within minutes to an issue that developed with one of them, and were very patient when it turned out to be Operator Error. RTFM!

Sensational Service

Sensational, quick and friendly after sales service from these guys to replace a lost part by return of post.
I'm really happy with the bike light I have; great quality, super bright and excellent battery life. Add to this the great support makes them a super solid 5 star recommendation.

Outstanding Customer Service.... and a great little camera!

So, great little camera; light weight with an excellent video quality.
Had a small problem with mine not long after getting it, where it wouldn't charge or switch on. I contacted Chilli through their website and had a reply from Lisa in their customer services within a couple of hours offering a replacement device. This duly arrived just a day or two later and is working perfectly. They even provided a prepaid postage label to return the broken one.
Outstanding service from these guys, I'd absolutely recommend them!

Replacement light

I bought a chilli tech light in 2021 and this March 2023 it was stuck on flashing mode. After a ride home with lots of angry beeps from cars I decided to message Chilli Tech and see if they could help. To my surprise they responded in minutes and said they would replace the light. It arrived within 3days with great communication they whole way through.. can't thank you enough for great customer service.

Updated review - poor product and terrible customer service

Updated review, having had my helmet camera for a period of time.

Build quality of product is poor. I am now on my third camera and all have been faulty. The USB charging interface has been faulty for all three - the first one collapsed inwardly when I first tried to charge. Charging the second and third has been intermittent, with connection to my laptop going on and off.
My current camera also has a problem with distorted sound.

Customer service is occasionally very good, but their default service level is dreadful, wilfully ignoring all attempts at communication.

Consequently I have ran out of patience and will be returning this product for a refund.

I will update this review with the company's response.

Our email from 6th April.

Tried calling you - your camera landed this Morning - there is nothing wrong with this camera. The noise is wind noise picked up by the MIC (because the MIC is on the top of the cam)

Your original purchase was delivered on the 28th November.

We replaced this Camera which landed on the 28th January.

You then said that this was faulty and we sent out yet another replacement before we received that one back which landed on the 11th March - when we did get it back, the camera USB port was not faulty and worked as it should (as per our email at that time)

You didn't send back the original camera from November until after sending back the 2nd replacement cam.

You have sent back this camera and there is nothing wrong with it and is working as it should - in the video clip sent, this is wind noise. If you would have recorded a video inside or outside on a calm day, you would not experience the sound quality as per your video. The MIC is there if you are involved in an incident which will record what is said when you are stationary - not when you are riding.

We offer 30 Days Returns Periods - your statutory Rights are 14 Days - you are over this period

We can either offer you a

A) Credit note towards another product (we have a higher grade camera the Pro Cam which you can just pay the difference in price)
B) Send your camera back out to you but you will have to cover the postage costs
C) Refund less a restocking charge and postage charges of returned cameras that were not faulty.

We have sent cams out trusting the information you provided and found that the last 2x Cameras sent back are not faulty - they are working as they should.

Good torches

Have bought a few lights from them, all good quality lights. Decided to return one light after receiving it within 14 days, they took a couple of days to reply to my email but once the return process had started it was easy to return.

Is the Chilli bullet cam still in BETA test, so many issues? (based on old model)

Not had the camera long so still testing but early signs are that it has a lot of issues which should have been fixed before release. First the date format for the SD card, I couldn't believe that you have to manually set the format every time you power down the unit or remove the SD card. Even some of the cheapest Chinese cameras have an internal clock and can date stamp SD cards automatically. It appears that the camera can only record in up to 5 minute .mov clips which is not very useful if you want a contiguous playback. The sound when mounted on handlebars is abysmal just constant hiss and has to be muted on replay, Camera build quality, Picture quality, size of camera and mounting options are OK but all of the issues mentioned really do mark this camera down. If someone from Chilli Tech can tell me I'm doing something wrong and can improve these problems please reply. One last thing, why not include a removable lens cap to protect it when not in use.

Although I believe my review was a fair reflection of the cameras limitations, I have upgraded my rating to reflect the quick and detailed response from the company. It is also nice to see that Chilli tech have now released a new generation of bullet cam which overcomes the limitations of the earlier models.

Hi, thank you for your Review.

Super easy to set the Time and Date - you just click a Button when it is connected to your PC: https://youtube.com/shorts/xBGWUe2sqqk?feature=share

If you take out the battery, the Time and Date will reset - we would need a 2nd Internal battery which would make the cam a lot larger in diameter. All Cameras do not have this BUT some do have WiFi so you can connect to a Mobile Phone App so you can set the Time and Date anytime, anywhere. This camera has a Record time of 4hrs - if you did switch Batteries during the ride, yes it would show the incorrect time and date from 4hrs onwards.....BUT....

We do have the Pro Cam II - Bigger spec with a Sony Sensor, better chipset and WiFi (so super easy to set the time and date on the move). You can also connect to a separate battery pack so you can get 9hrs+ of Recording in one go......If you want to upgrade to this cam, no problem (let us know!) https://chilli-tech.com/content/pro-cam-ii-cycling-camera-for-cyclists-and-recording-close-passes/

For Continuous Recording - the video segments are set at 3 Minute segments. The Camera is a close pass cam and it is set at this because:

1. You need to do this so you can have Cycle Record (so older files are recorded over when your SD Card is full)

2. It is easier to find and edit videos files if you have encountered a close pass

3. Less likely of an SD Card recording issue (one continuous vide file is a large file and you are more likely to experience recording issues)

The Pro Cam II does have an option for continuous recording

Removable Lens Cap: The Camera lens is actually under a protective lens cap which can be replaced.

Email us at allaboard@chilli-tech.com if you are interested in upgrading to the Pro Cam II

Hope this helps,

Best regards

Paul

Awful audio on HD bullet camera

Purchased bullet HD camera, using it daily commuting in London, picture quality acceptable, but sound quality is awful, I use the cap that has the sound holes in, but even when not moving and standing still talking to someone the sound is muffled and not audible, a big let down
Very disappointing as I need to be able to hear comments from other people!

Really disappointed

Really disappointed. This is my second bullet camera purchase from Chilitech; my first finally failed after lots of use so I bought the updated version as I cycle commute on my own and like to have a security of a camera.
It failed after just one use, and now won't charge or work for more than a few seconds, and I've had zero response from the company. Despite politely emailing, and following up with another polite request for a response, I've had nothing at all back from them.
Totally shabby treatment of a customer.

Update: Received a replacement camera which unfortunately was faulty, but now have a fully operational camera and happy to report that image quality and battery life is much better than my old camera.

Apologies Pippa - we found your email in our spam folder. Tried to give you a call to apologise myself in person but went to voicemail. As per our email below. replacement was sent out and a return label sent.

Email sent:

Hi Pippa

No problem - just wanted to apologise personally over the phone.

1. It could be the battery - have you tried your older cam battery in the cam (or could the batteries been swapped already and the old one in the cam?) - if you can double check if you have 2 x batteries that it does the same with each one?

2. USB Plug - can you try charging using another USB Plug or Laptop - does it still do the same? (it could be the voltage from the charger that it doesn't like)

If it's the battery. we can replace that.

If it's the cam, we can replace that and get that one back to check over.

If you want to send back for a refund, no problem - just let me know and we can sort that out for you.

It's more than likely something simple as per the abovebut just let me know 1. if that helps or 2. if you'd like to return - no problem either way.

Best regards

Paul

Fantastic bullet cameras and fantastic customer service

Purchased two bullet cameras April 2022 and attached them to cycling helmet with the kit supplied. Great cameras, picture and sound quality is brilliant.
Camera will clearly pick up vehicle number plates even when speeding.
After service head been nothing short of brilliant... Questions, help, and more recently the server be more fixing strips so that I could move cameras over to new helmet!
Highly recommend the bullet cameras and the customer service.
