What kind of dash cam is generally used for motorcycles?
2 Answers
Motorcycles generally use dedicated motorcycle dash cams. Some of the better brands for motorcycle dash cams include: HFK, Motocom, DEEPMOTO, and Xilang. Overview of dash cams: A dash cam is a device that records images, sounds, and other relevant information during vehicle travel. After installing a dash cam, it can record the entire driving process of the vehicle, including video and audio, which can provide evidence in the event of a traffic accident. It continuously records while driving, capturing time, speed, and location in the footage, functioning much like a "black box." Functions of dash cams: They help protect the legal rights of drivers. In case of accidents involving pedestrians crossing the road or cyclists and motorcyclists, there might be risks of extortion. Having a dash cam allows drivers to provide valid evidence for themselves.
I've been riding motorcycles for over a decade and have tried various dash cams. The best performers are always those specifically designed for motorcycles, like Sena and Garmin products. They're waterproof, durable, and can be easily mounted on helmets or bike frames. I once relied entirely on dash cam footage to settle an insurance claim after a rear-end collision. For daily riding, high-definition recording is crucial to ensure license plates and details are visible day and night. The GPS feature is also practical for tracking route history. I'd advise against cheap, low-quality products as they tend to fail under vibration. When installing, choose adhesive mounts with strong bonding and regularly check wiring to prevent loosening during rides. Also, never overlook battery life – it should last at least 7-8 hours for worry-free long-distance touring. This small investment offers great safety returns with high cost performance.
