You get a <a href=\"https:\/\/electronics.woot.com\/warranty\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"open in a new window\" rel=\"noopener\">90-day Woot Limited Warranty<\/a>, which isn\u2019t long, but at this price, it\u2019s hard to complain. It records in 1080p with a 125-degree field of view, offering sharp, color-rich daytime footage. At night, it switches between full-color video (though the colors reportedly appear a bit washed out) using built-in spotlights and black-and-white infrared video, depending on lighting conditions.<\/p>\n<p>For storage, the C402 supports <a href=\"https:\/\/zdcs.link\/9yXmr0?pageview_type=RSS&amp;template=content&amp;module=content_body&amp;element=offer&amp;item=text-link&amp;element_label=microSD%20cards&amp;short_url=9yXmr0&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Flifehacker.com%2Ffeed%2Frss\" rel=\"sponsored\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"open in a new window\">microSD cards<\/a> up to 512GB, but you\u2019ll need to buy one separately if you want local storage.
