|
|
Last year Vort had a post about an accident and was looking for advice about a camera set up to record the rights and wrongs in the event of the worst case scenario on a spin. He asked about these
http://www.nortek.co.uk/bike-bro-dual-camera-motorcycle-dvr/
which seem perfect to do the job but they are now discontinued. Anybody know anything similar available.??
It is for my daughter who rides an electric assist pushbike and was clipped and knocked off today by a hit and run cage driver who I will find and I will......... Thankfully she is absolutely unhurt apart from being scared shitless and the bike is grand. But it could have been a different story and I will point that out to them when I find them.....
I know go pro and all are good but I would like something that can be wired in and always on when riding and front and rear view seems like such a good idea. Anybody got any recommendations? Most of what comes up on ebay etc are good little cameras and amazing for small money but you have to take them off to charge them from your pd and don't overwrite when sd card is full
I have a go pro myself but it is not fit for this purpose and whatever she gets I think I will also use on my own bike and bicydle so if anybody has any ideas? |

Not sure if this of any use, but one of the guys that comes out on our extended trips ride a GS panzer. He had tried various cameras from drift to go pro’s, he now has adopted a system that has a central control unit and employs two remote camera’s front and rear, the camera head is very small and unobtrusive and once fitted you don’t have to remove like freestanding cameras. However I don’t know the size of the control unit, it activates as soon as you power the bike up and start recording. If this sounds like what your looking for, please let me know and I will endeavour to find out more. Pleased to hear she is ok _________________ Bimota DB10, Suzuki TS250, Kawasaki Z1A, T120 Trton, AJS650, KTM690 Duke |

Hi Glen, that is the sort I was looking at as think the freestanding ones are just never going to work.
Could you find out what he has/thinks, as that would be of great value |

Hi Stuart,
This is the link for the camera I mentioned, however it appears that I misunderstood the spec, it has one camera front or rear and a central controller. Billy has fitted two cameras and two control units. He says the picture quality is very good but they are not cheap. The system activates the moment you power up the bike, he is very pleased with them and has no hesitation in recommending them.
