VSYSTO Dual lens helmet camera for Bicycle
This sports dash cam is designed for motorcycles,bikes, aims to improve safety and practicality, provide you with a comprehensive record when you use it. It will be the most considerate companion on your journey!
Note:
After receiving it, please use a USB cable to connect the 5V power bank and the recorder host to test whether it can record normally, and then install it.
The recorder will heat up after using it for a period of time, which is heat dissipation. It is a normal phenomenon, as long as it does not affect normal use, it will be fine.
A memory card is NOT included in the packaging. Please use a high-quality memory card of class 10 and above. Max Support 256 GB.
Due to the limitation of the communication protocol, some mobile phone models may not be able to connect to the WiFi of the recorder. If this problem occurs, you can try another phone or turn off mobile data and then connect to WiFi.
Solutions for WiFi connection problem on some mobile phones:
Android : Firstly turn off your phone’s mobile data and then connect to DVR’s WiFi. If the prompt“ Trust this Network” appears, you must click “YES”, because Android phone forbids mobile data to ensure the recorded video file transferring speed from DVR to mobile phone.
IOS : Allows the mobile phone to continue to use the mobile network after connecting to the recorder via WIFI, but it affects the speed of downloading the DVR’s video files to the mobile phone.
If there is no sound when viewing the recorded video on the mobile APP, please check whether the sound record is turned on on the Setting interface of APP. If it is not turned on, the sound may not be recorded. In order to avoid a lot of noise in the recorded video, our engineers adjusted the sound of the software very low, which caused the DVR’s record sound to be relatively small. Please set the sound sensitivity to “high” on the setting interface of APP, then you can hear bigger voice when the phone is playing the video. The volume needs to be turned up to the highest level when playing on a computer.

I thought this would be easier than getting hard wired ones and stop me from having to wire them into the ignition or adding a relay. They are good quality pair of cameras mounted on my motorcycle. They are a faf to take off to charge so now I’m using a portable power bank to charge them. They give around 4 hours recording time so enough. And you can record with the front while charging so if needs be you can charge and use at least one. Just wish they could be plugged in via a usb to my bike or a longer battery device added.
Overall I am happy with the camera and its functionality – it does what it says on the tin. Initially I did a fairly simple modification to the rear camera mount so that the camera sits neatly under my cycle saddle and doesn’t protrude to one side (drilled a couple of holes and used eletricuian ties). The camera doesn’t come with a TF card. I made the mistake of buying a cheap card (probably fake) which stopped working after it reached memory capacity. Initially I thought it may be a fault with the camera – but this wasn’t the case. The help desk were very responsive and helped me resolve this issue very quickly. So make sure you get the card from a reputable dealer.
The misleading bit about this camera is that you cannot record from both cameras while charging with the supplied Y lead (which incidentally needs looking after as you can’t easily get replacements) – only the front camera will record a picture if the charging cable is attached (the included instructions state that recording while charging is possible but neglects to state this is only from one camera). What that means is that you do actually have to remove the cameras from the bike to recharge them rather than charging in situ by leaving them plugged into the Y lead. Hence they are not quite as convenient as they could be if the cable/ cameras were designed in such as way to allow on-bike charging.
In terms of functionality, they do behave as described, though I have not accurately assessed the operational time from a single charge as I only use them for 25 minute commutes, but it does feel like around 4 hours in total is about right. The image quality is acceptable, but not brilliant, however at this price point, it is fair enough. The on-off switch is awkward to access and impossible to use with gloves on (and you may even struggle if you have anything less than nimble fingers), and does not have a very positive feel so you have to verify operation by checking the lights on the rear camera. The fixing bracket options are a bit limited. If you have a bike fitted with lights, bike computer, panniers or other fittings, finding somewhere to attach the cameras can be tricky as the included brackets are designed only for handlebar or seat post fixing rather than giving an option for seat stay, fork or other attachment point. Also the screw mounts tend to work loose if only done up finger tight (the lock ring and the angle adjustment screw are both designed for hand tightening), so I had to use pliers to apply enough pressure to get them to stay put. In fact, I have replaced the rear bracket with an after-market one which is metal and can be fitted on smaller tubes so I can mount it on the seat stay since my seat post is ‘fully occupied’ with saddle bag and light. The connecting cables provided are also a bit of a mystery – the cable from the rear camera is not removable, but is too short on its own to connect to the front camera, so you have to use the extension cable which perversely is far too long, so you end up with excess cable that you somehow have to bunch up and tie out of the way. It would have been nice if they had included some rubber or velcro cable straps with the cameras to assist with cable management too.
The enclosed instructions are reasonably clear, if a little misleading in places (as mentioned above). The USB drive mode only works for the front camera if connected to a computer using a standard USB-C data cable for instance, and not the charging cable, but this is not spelled out in the instructions. The wifi app seems to function as you’d expect (on an Android device at least) though I have only used it once and is not something I expect to need to use very often – its main benefit seems to be to change the camera settings as I certainly wouldn’t recommend using it as a live video monitor or for viewing recorded footage. In terms of build quality, the cameras seem to be robustly built with metal bodies and good quality cables, although the USB-C female sockets on the extension cable and charging cable seem a little shallow which prevents the USB-C male plugs from seating all the way in, which gives rise to a concern of moisture getting into the connection on the bike (a rubber cover for the cable connections would have been a good idea). The main thing that worries me is the lenses which are exposed to the elements, road dirt and stones etc., so I would have liked to have seen lens protectors and spares provided in the kit. As the device is fairly niche, I do not believe after-market lens protectors are available, so I am not sure what options there are for protecting the lenses long term. It is too soon to advise on the longevity of the product for this review.
All in all, I would say the cameras are good value and a good alternative if you do not want to fork out for say a GoPro arrangement, but do not expect premium features or quality at this price.

Good quality once viewed and then downloaded overall very impressed
