Motorcycle DVR Dash Camera (DV188).
This unit costs around £80.00, and its the best money I have spent on my bikes. Like any DVR camera system it basic job is to record video why you riding around, with dual 1080p cameras you get front and back video footage at a great 1080p rate which is plenty for number plate reading.
The unit is easy (most cases lol) to fit, it main unit you mount wherever you like, under a seat (this part is not waterproof but the rest is) or like me next to my windshield screen, so rain doesn’t get to it. Then you plug in the cameras to the wiring harness and use the sticky pads or screws to mount the cameras were you like and then tidy the wires up and hide them. Then you just run the power wires to a 12 volt source, direct to battery or to an ignition point so it powers up when key turned (like I did, hence the above easy fitting comment, it wasn’t easy for me on my bike).
Once powered it automatically starts recording onto a micro sd card (extra) max 64GB. You then have a control cable with a button which lets you select the view on the main 2.7 inch screen.
You can have pic in pic or just pic, so totally 4 views. Front with back in corner on screen, Back with front in corner on screen, or just front or just back. I love having this set showing rear view only as it then becomes a great 130 degree rear view mirror for blind spots. After checking mirrors I then check the screen for blind spots and then the lifesaver, it really works well and give great piece of mind when riding, also for a general check who is up ya arse this is perfect for.
I would recommend this type of unit to every biker, just for the piece of mind knowing its recording what happens in a case of a crash, not only that but the rear view screen side is so handy to see if you been tailed closely. If you wire it to your ignition then you can set it to power up automatically, so as soon as you turn your key and start your bike the camera system is booting up and recording without needed to touch the device, and with its (very small) built in battery it gives it enough time when you switch it off (it knows this too if wire to ignition) to save the last file, and shut down itself on the battery, so you know it’s safely. The remote cable allows you to switch camera modes easy, so this is wired and mount close by, it also uses this cable as a microphone so it get the sounds from this. So best location out of direct wind. You also can lock a file with the remote, so if something happens you can lock that file so it won’t record over it (has a loop recording) as well as many other setting in its menu system.
Really can only say BUY IT NOW, well worth it.I don’t use this system for my public videos I use a dedicated helmet camera for that. Also check out the other reviews on similar dvr system I brought.
