Installed the Bullet HD Biker cam
Posted: Sat May 21, 2016 6:38 pm
Bought one of the Bullet HD Biker cams on Amazon for $99. I've been looking for a "dash camera type" where I can constantly loop the video recording. Although the GoPro's and that awesome 360 Fly are great action cameras neither of them loop and the battery life is limited to 2-3 hours of recording.
Anyway, I have it installed. It was relatively easy as you just hook up the red wire to your license plate light wire (or something that only operates when the ignition is turned on) and then run the cables. The remote slides out as well as the camera so you can take it inside if you fear it might get stolen.
What wasn't easy is taking off all the plastic pieces of a CTX!
That took a few hours, although I was taking my time, going in and out trying to read the schematics for the CTX wiring.
I haven't used it yet but I plan to tomorrow. Should be a useful tool in case of any accidents or street mayhem!
And the only thing left is to get some kind of clip to hold the USB cable in place. I need the slack for when I turn the bars so I couldn't use the zip ties as they would tighten then loosen, depending on which side I turned the handlebars.
