About this deal

First job was to remove the old system that has done a great job over the last 3 years, producing content videos and also assisting in footage for rider training. Putting the two systems side by side you can see that the VIOFO is slightly bigger. Two adhesive mounts are included, along with a universal GoPro-style mount, enabling you to affix it to the top or side of your helmet, your bike or just about anywhere you’d like. The camera’s lens also rotates, allowing you to correct any tilt in your shot.

I have compiled a few drive sessions recorded in my car with a action camera, the longest was a 9 hour long drive, which i split up into 9 segments, and then mixed to 6 X speed so the 1 hour of driving only was 10 minutes to watch. GPS Info Stamp – this information records speed (km/h or mph) and coordinates displayed as latitude and longitude data.Video Quality – the fixed resolution of 1080p @ 30fps (HD) is a good default capture resolution for most applications or many needs including if a combination of traffic monitoring and travelogue is an objective where near to far focus capabilities are or can be key. One of the downsides to hard wiring cameras onto your bike is that there is going to be some disassembly required. If you are not very confident in removing fairing and the fuel tank then something to consider would be the additional cost of getting someone to for it for you. Budget for around 2-3 hours work. There will also be some electrical connections to make. The kit includes a power loom that comes with connectors to attach directly to the battery and a third wire that will need to be attached to a switched live. Tap into anything that comes on with the ignition. Key specs – Mounting type: Helmet, body, handlebar, bike; Max recording resolution: 5K 60fps; Recording medium: microSD card (up to 1TB); Size (WDH): 71 x 34 x 55mm; Weight: 155g; Reported battery life: Up to 60mins in 4K or 120mins in HD; Interchangeable battery: Yes; USB rechargeable battery: Yes Video recording is done based on timed, loop, manual or emergency conditions, with manual or emergency activation resulting in images or video being saved off to a separate folder on the storage card; this folder is not overwritten and provides a record of any event if needed.

But whether on the bench or on the motorcycles none of the activation settings for the G-Sensor (and no matter the Motion Sensor setting) resulted in any impact/forces being detected (with the system on) and Emergency Mode activated with files stored under Event-rec. Reinstall the memory card in the MT1 and turn on the ignition to activate the camera. When the system is booted up, the firmware update begins automatically – the Red LED on the Remote Control will go into multiple rapid pulse sequences as the firmware update is applied. The system will reboot itself and the firmware file automatically deleted. UPDATE DEC 2021: Unfortunately, a year later and there's still no sign of a fix, despite it requiring just a longer press on the WiFi button to activate it, or better still simply giving the option to disable the button altogether, and having WiFi only coming on for a few minutes when the ignition is turned on. It might not output broadcast-quality video, but the best camera is the one you have with you, so you can also pretty much guarantee you’ll have that clip of your best ride ever, or a meteorite streaking across the sky; those moments that usually happen just before you turn on the GoPro. With all that in mind, the Viofo MT1 represents very good value for money as a front and rear motorcycle dash-cam. And the 170-degree wide angle lens view from both cameras ensures that not much is missed, no matter whether the cameras are oriented front and rear or otherwise.

Front/Rear Lens (cameras) – sealed tubular housings, 26mm in diameter and 43mm in length have integrated sealed cables with Yellow coloured waterproof connectors. Manual Recording – a short press on the REC button (Red LED) on the remote control enters manual recording mode indicated by the LED going to a rapid Red flashing. I’ve set the WiFi connection that’s stored on my phone to not ‘auto-reconnect’ as for now, if the button’s accidentally pressed, the WiFi will of course take over the data connection that might be in use for navigation. I noticed this when my TomTom’s traffic data stopped working. Many VIOFO systems are designed for the larger four-wheel plus platforms, although one or two others, like the F1 4K WiFi Action Camera should have good applicability for outdoor activities, powered platforms or otherwise. With 170° wide angle and dual Sony Starvis sensors delivering 1080p at 30 fps, the MT1 delivers amazing video quality to protect in the event of an accident.

Remote Control & Auto Turn On/Off The remote control can start manual emergency recording and control Wi-Fi connection, it has a built-in microphone to realize audio recording. The MT1 power cable has the ACC detection function to automatically start/stop when the engine is on/off, no need to manually open it, convenient and fast. The MT1 features built-in Wi-Fi connectivity which together with the intuitive VIOFO app, allows users to easily and instantly view the real-time recording, manage files and change settings using their phone. The global dash-cam market was valued at USD 2.8 billion in 2019, so it’s big business, with 36.1 million units sold in that year alone.Boasting a battery that supports up to four hours of 4K recording or a whopping seven hours of Full HD recording off of a single charge, the XL Pro can record full trips without the need for spare batteries or hardwiring. When space is needed on the microSD storage card the loop recording function automatically overwrites the oldest files (one at a time), stored in the default cont_rec folder, but the Manual Recording ( manual_rec) and Emergency Recording ( Event-rec) mode folders are not overwritten by the loop recording function. 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 MT1 uses a super high-quality capacitor to ensure continuous power supply for extended recording duration. The MT1 could power by 12V direction power straightly. The power cable includes ACC function to support smart turn on/off function automatically. The DC-1’s standout feature is its dual-lens design. With a pair of Sony Starvis IMX307 imaging sensors, this helmet-mounted camera can record what’s in front of and behind you simultaneously. It’s capable of recording two streams of 1080p video at 30fps or, using the front lens only, it can record at 1440p at 30fps. The camera offers up to 2.5 hours of recording off of a single charge and, while the battery isn’t interchangeable, it can be topped up with a USB power bank.

Featured Products

The VIOFO MT1 Motorcycle Dash Camera is a dual channel or camera recording system featuring two round lens or camera modules that record still or video at 1080p (1920×1080 pixels) or full HD resolution at 30fps, a GNSS (GPS) module, handlebar or body-mounted two-button Remote Control and 12V DC power supply harness with ignition (switched) sensing. The second option takes a bit more physical effort (kind of) – remove the storage media, put it into a PC-connected reader, like the one supplied, access the main DCIM folder and ‘ cont_rec’ folder. The Hero 11 is compatible with a vast range of accessories. For motorcyclists, GoPro offers helmet, chest and handlebar mounts, along with standard adhesive mounts that can be used to attach the camera directly to your bike. Founded in 2011, VIOFO identifies itself as one of the top manufacturers of dashcam systems featuring quality high resolution systems with unique designs and premium functionality. No matter if we ride alone or ride together, one of the best, and most popular accessories used by motorcyclists as well as those participating in other powered and non-powered outdoor activities is a video camera or cameras.
