Camera

[Furiae]

Hi all,

I am looking for a good camera to record my trips.

I was riding in Birmingham the other day and 2 cars tried to send me flying.

I am looking for one that is easy to install on helmet or motorbike. Decent quality recording must be able to read number plate from car in front. Night vision is nice add on bit not that much.

Are there also cameras that record when the bike is moved like when it's getting stolen *knocks wood* God forbid it should happen. Like one for a car?

*edit*

Oh and also know any good crash protectors for an mt09 abs?

Much appreciated.

How easy is it to install?

It was pretty easy to install.......but would require a bit more work if you want it hardwired to the bike. I put the camera bit under the nose fairing on my bike and the controller unit just above the clocks, behind the nose fairing. The holders for both parts attach to the bike with sticky pads that were supplied with the camera........

I use SJCAM SJ4000 wifi, permanently mounted with RAM B mount, connected to the PDM60 fuselless power supply:

You can use any fused USB power that you may have available on the bike.

I have used soldier iron to make a hole in the waterproof case for the usb power lead. The camera has car dashcam mode. Means I turn the ignition the camera is on. I turn it off the camera is off.

Note there are plenty fake SJCAMs. Mine is original from here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01CNVJVBC/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

If it is cheaper then £40 is a fake.

I use it for black box purposes. Wifi is nice because I can download any video from the camera to my phone withouth fiddling with the usb power connection under the seat.

If you want to read number plates you need Full HD 1080p resolution camera.
