About this deal

This is unfortunate – the marketing company that got the opportunity put in place has been very good in relaying correspondence but the only response received about anything was that a posted (but not previously identified) firmware update for the MT1 would be a good thing to have installed – that simple query and response turned out to be a big positive. User Selectable Data –virtually all camera systems record pro-forma or selectable information as data sets along with the video/photo media captured. There is no doubt that any or all recorded information can be both positive and negative in nature depending on any subsequent review or use; it’s truly a personal choice as there is or may be consequences… A 32GB Micro SD card is supplied as standard, so with a one-minute clip from each camera taking up about 121.2MB, expect to get just over two hours of footage.

Bike-mounted cameras, on the other hand, always record from a fixed position and will typically focus on the road ahead. These cameras can often be hard-wired in, negating the need for batteries. Many can also be set to constantly record whenever the bike is running, making them the best option for those seeking a dash cam-type camera for reassurance while on the road. Right now we find that recording and editing in 2,7K gives us the advantage of a better quality than Full HD (noticeable even when downgrading the final product to Full HD) and the freedom of cropping (zooming in using parts of a recorded segment), easier also when rotating a picture and keeping the frame format. Loop Recording – this is the default mode when the camera is activated, with the LED showing a solid Red. Loop time frames of one (default), two, three, five and 10 minutes are selectable using the VIOFO App. When space is needed on the microSD card, the oldest files are automatically overwritten, one at a time, as stored in the default cont_rec folder. The helmet-mounted camera offers 4K recording at up to 30fps or 1080p at up to 60fps and the captured footage is crisp, clear and detailed. It can also shoot still images with aburst rate of eight pictures per second or, using the time-lapse option, it can be set to take a still every one, two, five or ten seconds.Harness Layout & Connectivity – wasn’t an issue with this short-term installation with the component cables secured temporarily along the edges of the side and upper fairing panels. The long cables facilitate routing while the mated connections are solid and waterproof. Only the size of the connectors needs appreciating depending on how they will be routed. G-Sensor – kind of another ‘is it there or not’ feature. The MT1 is identified as having a G-sensor mounted inside the DVR module, and if activated under the VIOFO App, it should sense and measure impact forces. I have compiled a few drive sessions recorded in my car with a action camera, the longest was a 9 hour long drive, which i split up into 9 segments, and then mixed to 6 X speed so the 1 hour of driving only was 10 minutes to watch. It might not output broadcast-quality video, but the best camera is the one you have with you, so you can also pretty much guarantee you’ll have that clip of your best ride ever, or a meteorite streaking across the sky; those moments that usually happen just before you turn on the GoPro. With all that in mind, the Viofo MT1 represents very good value for money as a front and rear motorcycle dash-cam. Remote Control & Auto Turn On/Off The remote control can start manual emergency recording and control Wi-Fi connection, it has a built-in microphone to realize audio recording. The MT1 power cable has the ACC detection function to automatically start/stop when the engine is on/off, no need to manually open it, convenient and fast.

Another advantage gained with WDR activated is that it provides a clearer focused view of small details – license plates or signs in very brightly lit conditions or when transitioning low to high to low light areas so often experienced in moving through built-up or urban areas. Note: VIOFO A129 Plus Duo DOES NOT support BUFFERED PARKING MODE. Normal Parking Modes are available. The 2019 Honda NC 750 X DCT, on loan from a friend for some pending test fitments of new SHAD TERRA Top and Side Master kits (pending wBW review) is the current longer term host for the MT1 system – at least while it is sharing garage space and being used along with an older 1975 Honda CB400F sibling and three Beemers of varying ages.But while waiting for some pre-release camera products to arrive for early testing, a new(er) product offering, from VIOFO, the MT1 Motorcycle Dash Camera was offered up as a review opportunity and gratefully accepted.
