Bike cam Video
« on: 21 March 2013, 12:17:20 pm »
Hi all


I think a couple of people requsted an example video from my bike after I had the cameras fitted.


I am still sorting out teething issues (waterproofing mainly), but I have an example video (turn the sound down!):

Where do you have your camera mounted? Is it on the handlebars between the clamps?

Its mounted underneath the headlights on the front fairing.


There is also one on the back undernath my top box, but it was pointing into the sky, so no video for that one :)

Really clear film on that. I quite fancy one myself to remind me of nice rides in my old age. What type is it, was it easy to fit?

Its not too bad.


Fitment is easy, it comes with the bracket, just a screw through the fairing, and the camera clamps into it.


If you search Ebay for ACT20, its the 720p version.

you're getting electrical interferance on that. looks like the picture is rolling a bit. that's a problem with the cheap chinese stuff.
an example:

at 08:44:24 you see the screen flicker just turning on the ignition, then it's obvious when the bike starts. fitting it inside my lid got rid of any interferance.

Its mechanical interference.

Because the camera has a cmos sensor, if you vibrate the camera body at the multiple of the recording framerate, you get this waveyness. I suspect if I rubber mounted it then the wavey ness would go away.

Mounting it on your lid solves this becuase it doesnt vibrate like the bike does :). To be fair though it doesnt bother me, the cameras are mainly for proving right and wrong in an accident.

Ahem...

Quote
Highway Code Paragraph 165

You MUST NOT overtake

*    if you would have to cross or straddle double white lines with a solid line nearest to you (but see Rule 129)

*     if you would have to enter an area designed to divide traffic, if it is surrounded by a solid white line

*     the nearest vehicle to a pedestrian crossing, especially when it has stopped to let pedestrians cross

*     if you would have to enter a lane reserved for buses, trams or cycles during its hours of operation

*    after a ‘No Overtaking’ sign and until you pass a sign cancelling the restriction.
 
  Laws RTA 1988 sect 36, TSRGD regs 10, 22, 23 & 24, ZPPPCRGD reg 24

I know. You can't write sarcasm on the
Net!

So your saying that you never filter to the front of queues

I was talking to a guy who had bike cams, he said he put a bit of tape over mic. hole to cut down wind noise, when going fast.

No, I'm saying (or the Highway Code is saying) that it's illegal to filter past the vehicle closest to a pedestrian crossing.

True and the bike cops i've spoken too have said they WILL pull you if they see you do this, remember just the lead vehicle.

It is illegal to exceed the speed limit too, actually a 125 cc bike will do this. :rolleyes

ACtually, this is a good reminder for me. I passed my test on my own, IE just booked the mod 1 and 2 and took them, with no prior training. Yes I should know that you cant do this, but its not something I have ever looked into to be fair (and I do it nearly every ride). So, I will only filter to the lead vehicle in the future.

Actually i didn't know until i did a bike safe course. Yes its in the highway code, but your test would of assumed you got it covered in the theory test.
Anyway you now know one way not to get caught by the fuzz. ;)
