Folks. Had my camera for a month. Needed a waterproof camera and looked forever for one. It's going to be the ants pants but I'm still working on problem solving it.
Some points.
You should update the firmware via the Internet to the 2016 version or nothing will work. (I've just found there is a later version than the January one and will try that) Didn't see anything advising that in any documentation I got with the camera.
Don't try and start it without the camera lens attached or it'll beep consistently even with a card in it.
If after update, you can wifi into your phone app afterwards, you can set the time (it takes the time from the phone) of write the time on the txt file
Make sure you set the format on the phone to 24 hours not am/pm. I found that the new firmware bin file disappears after first upgrade so it appears you don't have to delete it.
I've had a heap of problems with finding a micro sd card that is consistent.
First one was an old 16gb card that worked OK then intermittent then failed completely and no amount of re formatting would get it to be recognized by recorder.
Second was a 32 gb Class 10 card I had for my go pro which always worked OK. That never worked at all on the Biker HD.
The most success I've had so far was with a 16gb sd class 10 card bought new from Dick smith last weekend straight out of the package (ie no formatting) The recorder writes the file structure and text file to the card from information on the recorder.
The way to tell is the DCIM folder is created on the card.
My latest issue is that the writing and turning off and on is so inconsistent, ie the camera will start but just not stop when I turn the bike off. It appears something happens which stopped the recording completely. I'll have a successful recording of the ride to work but it'll fail on the way home.
Not a camera for the feint hearted or non persistent. Picture excellent at 1080, a bit average at 720, sound picks up a lot of wind noise as the unit is mounted on the rear fender under the carrier. Great image stabilisation.
I've found you need to set the shock sensor for the least sensitive (2) or off else you'll fill your card with EVENT files which cannot be deleted via wifi app and wont be overwritten by the camera.
Just a bump on the road (on a motorbike) will be enough to trigger an EVENT.
I've also had issues from day one where the camera corrupts the video file. It's intermittent and annoying.
You cannot use the recording unit off the bike as a separate usb device to view files on the computer. The camera lens needs to be connected and this is impossible once its been installed on the bike (nothng to say you can't do it but never found a way to turn it on and have it recognised by PC). You need to take the card out and put it in a reader.
I'll give the distributor a call after Easter.
I've got it wired into the bike electrics so full power and have the latest style HDMI cable to the lens.
I've had to make sure the recorder is readily accessible while I problem solve it. Mounted at the moment with velcro and not the packaged adhesive. A 2 min file uses 138mb, 10 files 1.4gb and easy to fill the card with 200 mins (esp if EVENT files fill it up.) More to follow
Has anyone else experienced or solved any of these issues.
