Hard wiring camera

[robbie]

Had a front and rear facing video camera for Christmas,as always you need to download the instructions, when i phoned the company about where to take a switch feed to power it they recommended the tail light, can any one tell me if cutting into the bikes wiring affect the HISS system ? any help would be great.

Sorry I can't help with the wiring Robbie but interested to know what cameras you're fitting please?
I'm looking at the Nextbase Ride camera as a permanent fixture but this is only front facing.

Thanks

Hi Beetlejuice the set is called HD DIGITAL DVR and can only be bought online from.NORTEK BIKE BRO. my daughter said its the first ad that comes up. around £140

Use either your front or rear option connectors, Black wire with a yellow trace is ignition feed and green goes to earth.

I agree with Bruggen, the tail light is a led one so low power is needed. Use option connectors seems logical!

That does look neat. What's the quality of the video like?

I fitted the Nextbase Ride a few months ago, and despite it being only forward facing, it is HD quality, has excellent night-time recording and is Wi-Fi capable so I can easily download to my phone too.

I would like rear-facing too, and am (still) awaiting delivery of a slim, helmet-mounted camera, which is crash-sensitive and makes an alerting text in case of a crash with your GPS position.

Technology eh? Hard to keep up with it!
