View Life Through Your Eyes, Not a Viewfinder
Looxcie is an extension of your eyes, continuously recording everything you see. There are no tiny viewfinders, screens, or buttons to worry about--once turned on, Looxcie records it all. With Looxcie, you won't be stuck behind a camcorder; you'll be fully present in the moment.
With the free Looxcie App, Looxcie turns your compatible device into a viewfinder, remote control, and video editor. Simply turn on Looxcie, personalize the fit for your ear, and use the smartphone viewfinder to align Looxcie with your field of vision. After that, you're free to carry on with life. Looxcie features automatic focus, automatic light adjustment, and a broad field of vision. It does all the work, so you're free to focus on what's really important.
Freedom to Capture Life's Unexpected "Looxcie Moments"
People buy video cameras to remember special events, such as graduations, performances, and sports events, but more often than not, they fail to get the spontaneous moments that make those events so special. With Looxcie, you capture everything as you live it, so you'll never miss those "Looxcie Moments."
See something memorable? Simply press the Instant Clip button on the headset to save a clip of the last thirty seconds. If you want to share a moment immediately, you can use the Instant Share feature of Looxcie to email the clip or post it to Facebook, Twitter, or YouTube. Simply press and hold the Instant Clip button on Looxcie, and Looxcie automatically sends your clip via your iPhone or Android smartphone to your favorite site. With Looxcie, social video is effortless.
Looxcie is simple to use. There's no worrying about buttons or whether the device is recording. Just wear Looxcie and relax. You won't even notice it's there until you see something that you wish you'd captured on video--and then you'll realize that you already did.
Automatically Stores up to Five Hours of Footage
Looxcie has enough storage for five hours of continuous video capture, so you can wear it without worrying if you'll run out of storage space. Once the five-hour storage capacity is reached, new video automatically replaces the oldest video. That means you always have the most recent five hours.
Looxcie also features up to four hours of permanent clip storage. When you want to save a special moment, create and save a video clip--even while the camera is still recording video--by pressing the Instant Clip button.
Capture, Edit, and Share Right Away
Once you've recorded video with Looxcie, editing and sharing it with others is a cinch. You can edit video clips directly on your iPhone or Android phone and share them with others via email, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube.

You can also connect Looxcie to a PC or Mac via the USB connector, giving you access to all of your saved clips. Please note that a supported iPhone or Android device is required to create and save clips from the temporary storage, and that only saved clips may be accessed from your PC or Mac.
High-Quality Optics with Wide Field of Vision
Looxcie records in the HVGA format at 15 frames per second for quality video optimized for mobile devices. The lens provides a wide 62-degree field of view, so you won't miss any action.
Customizable Earpiece for Stability and Comfort
Looxcie is designed for comfort, featuring a bendable earloop with memory wire for a personalized fit. Three sizes of hypoallergenic earbuds are included, and the earpiece swivels 180 degrees for wear in either ear.
Works as a Bluetooth Headset
Looxcie is also a Bluetooth headset, so you have one less device to carry. When you answer calls while capturing video, Looxcie automatically mutes the audio on the video to keep your calls private.
Looxcie is backed by a one-year warranty.

Looxcie LX1 Wearable Bluetooth Camcorder, iPhone and Android Compatible Reviews
| 112 of 122 people found the following review helpful  Great idea, but bad decissions and too limited, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Looxcie LX1 Wearable Bluetooth Camcorder, iPhone and Android Compatible (Wireless Phone Accessory) This product is a great idea. A small wearable camera. Who wouldn't want that?Well, unfortunately, there are a number of flaws with this device. For one, the quality is not very good. 15 frames per second and low resolution. This means your videos are not going to look as good as the example videos. Also, the camera has a somewhat narrow field of vision. It would be much better if it taped a wider angle, because you are not going to be that good at aiming the thing. (You can kinda see the effect in their sample video on YouTube where the guy proposes to his girlfriend and video tapes mostly her chest... it's involuntarily funny). Also, somehow the camera would need a serious image stabilizer. I have no idea how that would work with a camera like that, but the reality is that people move their heads a lot and very fast and with the low frame rate and resolution, that is a problem to begin with, and even if that was better, people watching your videos...

But this device actually records better video than I expected. Of course, maybe I just had low expectations. I think really though, I just had realistic expectations and the Looxcie has met or exceeded those. I was thrilled to see this device in the pages of Popular Science a couple months ago, then bummed to find out that it was not available for the iPhone at that time. Luckily they got the iPhone version ready before the Christmas season and my wife hit a home run by making sure it was under the tree in time.I've only been using the Looxcie for one day so far (since Christmas), but I've recorded a bunch of clips and also downloaded the entire video buffer (a welcome new feature) to my Mac (a very simple process) and the video looked quite good. Yeah, it's a little grainy, but not bad... Read more 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful  LOOXCIE ROCKS!!!, By Shannon (Walnut Creek, CA United States) - See all my reviews This review is from: Looxcie LX1 Wearable Bluetooth Camcorder, iPhone and Android Compatible (Wireless Phone Accessory) I was so excited when I first saw this product since I've been looking for something like it for so long! I've seen other similar products, but they are so bulky and not at all practical. Looxcie is immediately different in that it is so easy to handle. But Looxcie isn't just a camera, it's a bluetooth headset too. This thing is unbelievable! I was able to make calls and answer incoming calls. And as if that wasn't enough, this is almost a "too good to be true" product given its great price point and ease of installation. If you have an iPhone or Android, you can download it from the control panel where you usually pair bluetooth-devices. Be sure to download the FREE apps from Appstore or Android market (just run the app - it's that easy!) There's two apps - LooxcieMoments and LooxcieCam. I liked LooxcieMoments best as it records constantly in the background when you wear the device and put it in record mode. With one press of a button you save the last 30 seconds. I used this...
