Most bike-mounted cameras can be run directly off of the bike’s battery. This avoids any recharging issues and the majority of bike-mounted cameras can even be set to start recording automatically when you turn the bike’s ignition. Live Video Source – this setting allows the user to tailor the ‘Live View’ or real-time display on the connected device for front or rear camera only, or a picture-in-picture (PIP) view with either the front view primary (PIP mode 1) or the rear view primary (PIP mode 2); in both latter instances the secondary camera view sits in the upper left corner. The remote control is fine, but the WiFi and manual record buttons are close together and not that easy to index with a gloved hand, so it’s possible to accidentally press the WiFi connection button.
Storage Media Access – open the pressure-fitted cover and use a fingernail or thin non-metallic object to push in the storage card slightly, activating the spring-loaded release that pops the card out enough for it to be grasped by its beveled edge and removed. The small USB-A interface SD-media reader provided in the kit is perfect for holding/securing the media. The features and specifications listed below are compiled from VIOFO media and information collected during this review. or 60 FPS you can speed up just fine, so you can get some ground covered, it will be fine for long stretches where nothing much change, other times you want normal speed, but these are all things you can play with in post production. In quieter riding environments the pin-hole microphones on the externally mounted DVR module (rear section of compartment hatch) and the Remote Control (left mirror stalk) do work to provide decent audio, but its not anywhere near travelogue quality, especially with a full-face or modular helmet worn.
The best motorcycle cameras to buy in 2023
Dual Channel 1080P – The MT1 applies dual-channel 1080P with Sony Starvis sensors to create a beautiful, vivid image of the road front and rear in various lighting situations by honing in on the details. Loop recording – The latest video file will automatically overwrite the oldest video file when the SD card is full.
VIOFO MT1 was designed with smart technologies that are designed to make them perfectly suited for use mounted on a motorcycle. You could get it via the following links. The MT1 can be used as a ‘set-n-forget’ dual channel video system for traffic or travel camera use and user interaction can indeed be minimal. But installing and launching the VIOFO App that is the user interface for the system is recommended, especially for initial configuration and if/when changes to systems settings need to be made.The first functional observation identified during this initial bench test involved the local VIFO MT1 WiFi connection – it can be cranky and is (typically) unwilling to activate, especially when other networks are within range. Rugged & Water Resistant – MT1 adopts effective IP66 class protection from dust and water. You can easily use it in the rain and any weather conditions. Exposure Value (EV) Front and Rear – adjusting EV values separately for the front and rear cameras can create better footage under different lighting conditions, e.g. – bright conditions to the front but darker to the rear. This feature is prevalent in most modern single and dual channel systems including other VIOFO products. But unless it is a ‘hidden’ feature that (yet) needs to be activated, ‘motion detection’, with or without the G-sensor activated, has not been a testable feature. While not that common on bikes, according to research carried out by Money Expert, around three million UK car drivers now own a dash-cam, which resulted in 5,000 cases of police action within 20 months.
If one is familiar with single or dual channel point-of-view (PoV) action camera systems, then the MT1 will be familiar. But if this is a first foray into mounting a system such as this on a motorcycle, or any other vehicle, then it’s good to understand the ‘what’, ‘how’, ‘why’ and ‘when’ of it all; so we’ll start first with a component run-through… Harness Connectivity – this layout is a bit ad-hoc for now, with the power, front camera, GPS and remote-control components leads exiting from under the plastic (just below where the seat sits) to meet up with the rear camera lead. Note: VIOFO A129 Plus Duo DOES NOT support BUFFERED PARKING MODE. Normal Parking Modes are available. I think i forgot to mention i am talking about my action camera, i dont think the K5 can do the same my Osmo action camera can do, like 4K / 60 FPS and 100 mbit, just to mention the 2 biggest things in regard to details. Before tightening up the compression assembly the camera body is rotated so the small White triangle is centred on top for initial orientation purposes. The compression ring and sheet screw assembly seems a bit on the light-side regarding strength, but after over two months of use nothing has moved or loosened off with on-road and frequent loose surface road travel.You are not going to get anyone to sit glued to a screen and watch for hours on end, normally peoples attention start to fade around the 10 - 15 minute mark, so my advise is to use accelerated speed, and maybe mix in some highlights in normal speed or awesome photos taken.
In 5 to 10 seconds the MT1 network appears on the phone’s WiFi listing and the connection is usually made on the first pass. With the VIOFO App launched and the camera connected the user interface is live – this procedure works about 80% of the time… The Remote Control provides the ability to control the (local) WiFi connection between the MT1 and network compatible device such as a smart phone while also allowing user or manual intervention of video recording for emergency purposes. Specially designed for motorcycles, the VIOFO MT1 is a dual-channel camera which allows for front and rear road recording at Full HD 1080P video resolution with Sony Starvis image sensors. Both lenses have a 170° wide angle which makes it possible to cover multiple lanes and capture more details than ever before, resulting in super sharp image quality and a crystal-clear video. In addition to the wide dynamic range (WDR) technology, the motorcycle dash camera delivers outstanding night vision footage even in low light. The device is also dust and water proof to an IP66 rating, meaning riders can use in all weather conditions without concern. Firmware Updating – in identifying a couple of early issues to the VIOFO Support Team, I was advised to update the MT1 firmware to V1.0 (20200408) that is accessible from the link.
New Arrivals
The 2019 Honda NC 750 X DCT, on loan from a friend for some pending test fitments of new SHAD TERRA Top and Side Master kits (pending wBW review) is the current longer term host for the MT1 system – at least while it is sharing garage space and being used along with an older 1975 Honda CB400F sibling and three Beemers of varying ages. And VIOFO recommends the ‘Low’ setting be used (as a start point at least) so that sudden falls or impacts are detected, but minor bumps or movement are not, minimizing unintended Emergency Mode activations.
