NAVMAN MIVUE 820D MOTORCYCLE DASH CAM WITH FRONT & REAR CAMERAS
Motorcyclists have been attempting to record their rides since the advent of the first action cameras. But with limited battery life and storage, along with the often dreaded realisation that you hadn’t pressed record when something seriously cool (or seriously dangerous) happens, they just don’t do the same as the dashcams now commonplace in cars.
But Navman reckon they’ve come up with a serious solution (there have been plenty of dodgy attempts by no-name companies over the years) to give high-quality video footage from the front and rear of your motorcycle with their new MiVue M820D.
The set-up comes with discreet front and rear cameras which enable you to capture your ride in Full HD 1080P at 60 frames per second for high speeds shot in Super MP4 which saves files every two seconds, reducing any chance of corruption. It has Sony’s premium STARVIS™ sensors front and rear capturing amazing detail in low light, superb contrast and rich colours, and with its built-in GPS and 3-Axis G-Sensor, the footage is tagged with precise location, along with direction of impact and speed.
And with a company like Navman working to find a solution for video on motorcycles, they’ve managed to come up with a system that offers so much more than simply recording your ride. The footage can be accessed, downloaded and shared instantly from the MiVue™ Pro app, even when out on a ride using a dedicated Wifi network, you can record a ride in timelapse, condensing a long ride into a short, high-speed video clip, and you can share your ride as a GPX route for others to follow.
But the coolest feature has to be the “PARKING MODE”. With front and rear motion detection, any movement around or knock to the motorbike will trigger a recording so riders have the proof they need to hand to their insurer to enable them to chase down the person who damaged their bike. With ‘smart parking’ mode enabled, the dash cam automatically monitors the bike’s battery voltage and power usage whilst protecting your bike and will switch off once a threshold is reached to stop excess draining of the battery.
There are also premium safety camera audible alerts included with fixed speed and safety cameras and school zones, which can be updated via the MiVue™ Pro app as often as every month.
Easy to install, the device is hard-mounted and hardwired to the bike, so it never needs to be disconnected to charge, while a small control box fitted to the handlebar allows the rider to control the camera and also features a small microphone.
The distributor of the new Navman MiVue M820D in New Zealand is Whites Powersports and they have given BRM a system which we’ll be fitting to our longterm Suzuki V-Strom 800 shortly. Be sure to check back to check out our reviews.
