This unit is a beast! Very well built, high quality parts and very nice video quality! I like the fact that the control unit the DVR is located inside of the bike in case of an unfortunate accident. It’s pretty difficult that that unit would get destroyed, I like the ease of the install. The cables are long. Tuck them away, just take your time with that. It’ll be worth it. The video quality is outstanding on the 4K. The 1080 P is very good as well. I like the fact that I can get the rearview camera on my “phone” as I’m riding, it gives me an additional ability to see directly behind me! I can recommend this system. Read more
After a simple but involved installation; removing fairings, routing/securing cables and then testing, testing & more testing, it was obvious the unit I received was defective... in that it would not shut off. Rather, it would shut off as designed but would start right back up, regardless of key on/off or yellow wire powered or not. I thought maybe the red/yellow wires were swapped or mismarked as I read affected some units, but that wasn't the case. I contacted support and after a couple back/forth communications and convincing them it was the 'you, not me', they said they would replace it, and I only needed to return the main unit & cameras! I was super relieved I didn't have to tear-down to uninstall the cables, but I was still bummed I thinking it'd be several weeks before I could use it. Once I provided them the tracking number, they quickly shipped a new (unopened retail-box) unit that arrived in only a couple days. Plugged-in the new head unit and installed cameras in my mounts and I was in biz! It worked as expected and am happy with the performance. The hardware seems to be of high quality, there's ample cable length to accommodate any configuration.... and the software/app works ok, but has room for improvement- which I assume will be coming. I've a couple 'wishes' and recommendations to improve: - I can see wanting to pull the card to download videos on pc. I understand the interior of the head unit needs to be sealed to the environment, but wow, the card cover screws are too tiny, too easy to lose and best only be removed on a bench. It'd be great if the card-cover were held in place by compression.. say, a spring clip in the external housing/mount, applying force as the unit is slid in. Or something, anything to allow easily accessing the card. - I requested they add a 'disable auto-record' toggle in the app settings. - Add sort/view options in videos/albums in app; ability to sort by size and to change to 'details view' showing only filename, as it contains the timestamp and which cam; A or B. - (Update) - PLEASE, MOD THE FIRMWARE TO ENABLE THE UNIT TO STAY ON AFTER KEY IS OFF, AS LONG AS IT'S CONNECTED TO THE MOBILE APP 🙏 To avoid having to keep the ignition on during long downloads, and for testing or just wanting to record with engine off. Overall, I'm happy with the purchase and would recommend anyone who's considering to go for it! Read more
Ease of installation: Depends upon how meticulous you are; the installation can vary from easy to complex. If you’re extremely particular about the installation, you can make the process more difficult than it needs to be. If you have an old bike where appearances are negligible, the process can be extremely easy. I think I may have made matters harder than it needed to be but I’m happy with the finish installation. As you know, bike design variations are many. I wanted my front camera location to be discrete with a decent field of view – I found such a place & needed to determine the best way to mount it. The rear camera required a different approach, I had to fabricate a bracket (as best I could manage) and install both cameras with some forethought employed. This was me making the installation harder than it needed to be. Given a different brand of bike, my method of installation would have varied accordingly. Picture Quality: I am very happy with the picture quality. Before purchasing, I looked at several different vendors’ product, watched the online You-tube videos, etc., with a burning question in mind – “Is 30 fps fast enough to give me a good video rendition of what it’s capturing at 45, 55, or 70 mph? When you think of an action camera, they have frame rates that exceeds 30 fps – and a photographer knows that the higher speed frame rates allow for pictures that will not be blurred – to my surprise, the software employed with this dashcam makes for taking good quality pics at 30fps, even when doing 70 mph. That was very important for my needs! Camera Quality: I’m going to say, excellent! To clarify, I am speaking of the camera lens – it’s small, think about 1” dia. x 1-1/4” long. I own an action camera & it’s just a little bigger (3x, maybe) than the Vantrue F1 camera lens. There are several differences between the two. Regarding power, I don’t have to change a battery after 90 min or so as I do with the action camera. When I turn my bike on, the camera automatically turns on & start recording. If I ride 6 or more continuous hours, the camera will record video accordingly – how much video you get to keep w/o it being over written depends upon the SD card size. My one disappointment is the speed at which it x-fers data via Wi-Fi, it’s slow. Even so, I feel it will serve the purpose for which I bought it, satisfactorily! If saving a day trip video, plan on removing the SD card for a computer download, the volume of data can be quite large. I’m still learning about the product and its functions, so I can’t comment on the other features at this time. Customer Service: I am very pleased with the Customer Service that I have received. We had difficult start & I believe that was due to differences in thought processes. I was being meticulous and seeking a spare part, my description of that part was confusing to describe but once made clear, they were extremely helpful in getting me what I needed. Read more
Installation: It took me about 45 mins to install all the equipment required. You obviously need access to your battery compartment. Wiring was a breeze, I took extra time to tuck in the wires nice and neat. The bracket for the handle bar is solid. Video quality: The 4k camera is very nice. Image stabilization is good...not Go Pro Hero good obviously but still very good. The rear camera is only 1080p, I find this to be a bonus because it saves memory space when you are looping your recording. 1080p is good enough for most situations anyways. Ease of Use: Once properly set up, the system operates very smoothly. No issues with video playback at all. I double secured everything with zip ties just in case. Conclusion: This product is worth it if you consider everything that it comes with....compared to other video cameras system, this is an all in one and is a great value. Read more
The media could not be loaded. Bought this a gift for my daughter. She loves it, says it works very well. Installation was fairly easy. Excellent video recording! Highly recommended Read more
