Sharper Image SVC410 - does it even exist?

[IHazABone]

My family recently bought a Sharper Image SVC410 for my Dad, as he's big on ocean kayaking, skiing, surfing, etc. and he's always wanted a mountable camera. However, upon coming across some difficulties with setup, we tried looking it up. It appears as though something under this name does not exist. It's a meager camera, as well. But there was nothing on the Sharper Image website, nothing on google, nothing of the sort anywhere. It was bought from Future Shop in here in Canada. Does this thing even exist, or is it a knockoff of some kind?

Evidently it is produced by Southern Telecom. Here is a link where you can request support: http://mycusthelp.com/SOUTHERNTELECOM/_cs/RequestOpenCI.aspx?sSessionID=66262272JANMLGVLEOTGRFLMGZ[PVBDUROZTZPGZ&rqst=9&ST_BRAND=The%20Sharper%20Image

Hm. That's weird. It says nothing of Southern Telecom on the box, manual, or product. I would have thought that Sharper Image, being the child company, would have it on their website.

You would think so but if you look at the user guide it is for the Sharper Image camcorder. While doing a Google search I came across that it was manufactured by Southern Telecom but branded as a Sharper Image product. They have several user guides for similar Sharper Image models.
