Installed and ready to go. The instructions are lacking but do give you enough information to figure everything out. One point to note, it doesn’t tell you which camera connection is the front. The GREEN connector is for the front camera, the BLACK is for the rear. Lots of cabling so that you shouldn’t have any issues deciding where you want to put everything. I connected the power source to my distribution block and tested the on..off functions. Works great, starts recording shortly after ignition is turned on and obviously stops recording shortly after ignition is off.
I mounted the GPS antena just behind the wind screen and the remote button just under the front brake reservoir.
Rear camera I mounted under the rear signal lamp housing. I modified the bracket that the system came with so that I could use the bolt that holds the housing in place.
Front camera I installed under the front headlight bucket using 3M tape. Not sure if I’m totally sold on that location. I may Fab up a small bracket that I can use on the bolt that secures the horn in place.
Next step is to take it out for a spin and record some video and take some photos using the remote.
Next the App..very easy to use and a much better way to set up your DVR. When it asked for the micro SD card it refers to it as the TF card. Insert your card, go to settings and select format. It will indicate that the card was removed then re-inserted. It doesn’t give you a confirmation that the card has been formatted, don’t worry, it was. After that set up the settings and forget about it. One thing I did notice is that the first time I turned the unit on it did not start recording automatically. You need to hit the record button in the app or on the DVR and don’t stop recording, just turn off the ignition.
On the DVR tab of the app, select the HaloCam wifi connection and then go back into the app and you will see the live recording. Once connected in the app you can easily download all photos and videos to your mobile device.
The components seem well made, the cameras are solid. The DVR seems a little cheap but as I have it stored under the seat I’m not to concerned about it. The DVR is not waterproof but does come with a handy little silicone sleeve. All other components are waterproof.
I’ll give another update as soon as I get some video.
Cheers
