Proof bp100 motorcycle camera

[dash riposki]

This is an inexpensive single channel motorcycle camera sold online in asia.
Around 45 usd.

I didn't expect much for the price. If this turns out to be reasonably functional and reliable, it's a option for budget minded types....if it is being sold outside of asia. (?).
It is intended to be mounted on the mirror stalk, and comes with weatherized power cables to hardwire, and plug into a usb-a power port.

I am running mine from a USB power port on my Honda pcx until I decide if it is worth keeping on the bike permanently.

The memory card is in the same o-ringed port the power cable screws into.

The app has access to files and minimal settings.

You are limited to 1080p30, or 2 k.

Initially I had it set to 1080p30.

Changed to 2k

Looks like I bought a 45 dollar potato.
😕

Changed to 2k, cleaned the lens.

Not very sharp.

The bp100 has not been working reliably.

Have the flashing led that indicates operation, but no files for a few days.
There led indicators appeared to display normal recording.


The mounting method of the camera means you need a wrench to remove the cam, and re-tighten the mirror. Annoying, and the mirror being properly adjusted and not loose is important.

It's not impossible to remove the card from the mounted camera, but the card is prone to be dropped....or maybe launched a few feet away.

I will fumble a bit more.

I had a traffic 'incident' yesterday that would be nice to have video of, but it's not there.

Local overtook me in no passing zone entering roundabout. I used some rude English with him, he stopped in the roundabout, and said something back.
I continued on my way....he overtook in another unsafe area. Welcome to Thailand.

I was hoping to have the audio recorded, also.

Aaaa yes the old seem to be recording ploy.
A memory from the old school dashcams i can easy be without.

That's really frustrating when you think you're recording and you're not.
