Dashcam for motorcycle

[Lord Popgun]

Alain, no I don’t own one. Been wanting a Innovv K2 but they are pricey and some have had problems with them. After you posted I went to the BlueSky website and read about yours. And saw the password. Then on Amazon there was a post about the old and new password. Since one guy posted it was wrong in the manual, I figured yours was too.

I may be pushing the buy me now button on Amazon for a DV988 in a short while...

Seemed like a high quality product and very easy to install. Only issue I had was the WIFI but thanks to you it's now resolved.
When I could not connect to the wifi, (I only tried it a few times) I easily gave up as it was getting late in the evening and already put 5 hours installing it.
I was waiting to contact them on Monday but your intervention saved the day. Thanks again for the tip.
Let me know I can give you some hints to save time installing it when you get yours.
Regards
Alain Lee

Thanks Alain! I ordered it last night.

Some insurance company is offering a discounted rate if you get their app in your phone. Sounds great, but, they will know your speed at all times by the GPS and their data collection, which could be used against you in a court of law. Be advised.

I always l laugh when I see their ads telling you how you can "save money" by letting them spy on your driving habits. They neglect to mention how the rates can go the other direction based on that same information.

Forum members would like to see your pic, while standing in front of your CB or ST...whenever camera is installed and operational...don't delay, please. TY

I am glad that my CB is now equipped with a dashcam as witness to defend myself in case if I did not make it.

Yesterday while riding in the back countryside roads, one white BMW within a convoy try to overtake the vehicles ahead of him, crosses the double yellow lines and came into my lane straight at me.
(I was doing around 110 kph and I am assuming that he must be doing the same under full acceleration). I flashed him with rapid successions of high beam flashes and luckily he quickly steer into the soft curb lane to my right side.
All this was recorded, just too bad his license plate was illegible as he was at an angle to my camera lens.

Oh boy!! my pants must have been wet at the time, this as$%^& driver did not even stop.

The video is too big to show the incident, however, I did some screen capture to explain the situation.

To be safe, maybe I should get myself a mazda MX5 sports car in the future.

 

[Inhouse Bob]

Wow. So glad you weren't hit. I don't think a Miata would have helped in this situation. Head on is not cool, even in a car.

 

[Lord Popgun]

Wow! I better get mine mounted soon. It came a couple days ago.

 

[the Ferret]

geez that's pretty bad.Glad it came out alright for you Alain.

Nice shots alain, even a partial license plate would be useful in piecing the puzzle together, this guy may have done more of these maneuvers so it may be worth following it up with law enforcement and make the roads safer as a result.

Thanks for your kind words Gents.

I am still shaken and will not be riding this long weekend.

The video is too long (3minutes), I will try edit and to put it on Utube and leave the link here at the next opportunity to watch the whole 10 seconds of he**.

 

[peterbaron]

Geeez Alain :huh:, what an idiot driver.
Stay safe!!!!

 

[Cormanus]

So glad you’re OK, Alain. A genuine pucker moment.

That F..... needs a a couple months in jail, loss of license for a year after that, couple with some substantial fines.

No plea bargain, if it were up to me- no trial!

I would report it to the police. With the vehicle model, partial plate reading, date and time... I'm sure they can find him if they want.

I don't know in Canada. If it was in England, there is a recording camera everywhere!

 

[pdedse]

So the cam takes video looking back as well?

 

[Lord Popgun]

It does. It comes with 2 cameras and a dual recorder. No, I haven't installed mine yet so no dancing video PB.

 

[Gone in 60]

Wow! And I thought L.A. drivers were bad! That is crazy. I've always had the idea for a camera setup in the back of my head. When I had my unfortunate, but luckily minor left-turn incident earlier this year and the offending driver contested liability, I really started looking at them again, as it would have been a big help.

Your experience is exactly why I'd want a camera. Good on you for keeping your head on straight!
