Getting ready to install a Dashcam specifically designed for use on bikes. HaloCam M1. Unit comes with two cameras (front and rear), 1080 @ 30 FPS. a DVR and a remote. The main unit will reside in the air filter box as I’m running a RamAir filter. Everything is waterproof except for the DVR. It comes with a sleeve to protect it. All settings, features, controls and video/photo viewing and downloads are accessed through an app on your phone. The unit also comes with a GPS antenna to track your route. Once I get it installed on the R3T I’ll post some photos and do a little review for those who are interested.
Interested to see how well this fits, and works for you. Especially in the long term..I've gone through a couple cameras. I assume it's powered from a switched source i.e. records on loop while the ignition is on?
I've had front & back cams for a few years now, they're 1080p @ 30fps too, but as barbagris says are a little outdated at this stage, so I'm on the lookout for 4K cams to replace them with.
Mine were made for cars so i had a job waterproofing them.
But I do have USB cables running from them to under the seat, so i can plug laptop into the bike and view/download footage with just the seat off.
These days I also have a chin-mounted battery powered 4K 60fps GoPro for short trips, it gets fantastic footage both night and day, but ain't a blackbox cam since it's not fitted to bike and switched power.
Here's one from another company. The DVR is also waterproof and it comes with other stuff. https://www.innovv.com/innovv-k2 - tis not cheap though. - still only 1080p though. The Halo M1 is cheaper.
No not really, it’s a dash cam not a sports cam like a GoPro. All I need to do is make out licence plate in the event of an incident. If I want outstanding video I use my GoPro.
