About this deal

Earlier research by Aviva indicated that 17% of people who bought dash-cams did so because they’d previously been involved in an accident where they couldn’t prove their innocence. Storage Media Access –open the pressure-fitted cover and use a fingernail or thin non-metallic object to push in the storage card slightly, activating the spring-loaded release that pops the card out enough for it to be grasped by its beveled edge and removed. The small USB-A interface SD-media reader provided in the kit is perfect for holding/securing the media. Time Synchronization – can be set using the smart phone or device in use, with the default being the standard (detected) time zone based on the GPS feature if turned on Drift’s companion smartphone app allows you to live preview your shot as well as edit, manage and share your clips, and the camera is compatible with Drift’s external microphone. The MT1 features built-in Wi-Fi connectivity which together with the intuitive VIOFO app, allows users to easily and instantly view the real-time recording, manage files and change settings using their phone.

VIOFO MT1 is a dual-channel front and rear camera for motorcycle. It could record both road front and rear at Full HD 1080P video resolution with dual-channel Sony Starvis image sensor. Togethering with the wide dynamic range (WDR) technology, the motorcycle dash camera realizes outstanding night vision. Even in low light, it can record some stunning footage. Both of these lenses have a 170°-degree wide angle which makes it possible to cover multiple lanes and capture more details than ever. The result is super sharp image quality and a crystal-clear video. Nothing in the way of glitches or failures over almost three months of use on two motorcycles has occurred despite some minor bangs and harder (test) impacts to the camera pieces and the DVR module in attempting to activate and test the G-Sensor and Motion Detection features…to no avail.Device-wise, the iPAD Mini 4 and iPhones 6 and 8 had no issues in recognizing and connecting to the VIOFO WiFi on the first pass – data connection or other network connections existing or not; so the reluctance to do networking seems pretty much Android related… Storage Media Access – open the pressure-fitted cover and use a fingernail or thin non-metallic object to push in the storage card slightly, activating the spring-loaded release that pops the card out enough for it to be grasped by its beveled edge and removed. The small USB-A interface SD-media reader provided in the kit is perfect for holding/securing the media. Almost two thirds of those who completed the survey had used footage as part of an insurance claim, and just under a third said the footage had helped them prove they weren’t at fault.

Success!

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.

Yes, you can use a GoPro as a dash-cam, but you have to keep in mind that it might not be quite as reliable. The VIOFO MT1 Motorcycle Dash Camera is a dual channel or camera recording system featuring two round lens or camera modules that record still or video at 1080p (1920×1080 pixels) or full HD resolution at 30fps, a GNSS (GPS) module, handlebar or body-mounted two-button Remote Control and 12V DC power supply harness with ignition (switched) sensing. Some motorcyclists utilize a single or dual channel (or other multi-channel configurations) for singular use as a road user/traffic safety tool, enabling the rider to have stored video evidence in the event of an incident or accident; whereas others utilize these systems for concurrent applications – traffic monitoring, travelogue use, etc., for even more return on the investment. In working through all the MT1 features during bench testing and lots of subsequent road use, one feature seems to be performing poorly (if at all), while another, both identified in the User Manual seems to be missing completely. But whether these features haven’t (yet) been enabled or just don’t work for some reason isn’t known – more information is provided below. When space is needed on the microSD storage card the loop recording function automatically overwrites the oldest files (one at a time), stored in the default cont_rec folder, but the Manual Recording ( manual_rec) and Emergency Recording ( Event-rec) mode folders are not overwritten by the loop recording function.Getting your bike permanently rigged up for on-board video recording may not sound like the sort of thing you want to do but having a record of that car pulling out on you while you were perfectly in the right may go a long way to help with any insurance claim, but why else would you want one? Since its founding, VIOFO has continued to evolve its products in response to consumer demands using technology-based innovations, including video enhancements from full HD to Quad-HD and now 4K UHD, with dual channel recording, GPS, WiFi and/or Bluetooth in most of their systems. Many motorcyclists utilize multiple devices to capture multiple or all views possible and one only needs to look at some of the amazing riding and long-term travel related videos posted by users to understand the capabilities and possibilities provided by video capture products.

Two more multi-channel camera systems are sitting here in the review queue and at least two more expected – one is a product update and one is a new offering; all good in helping keep one occupied over the cooler months of the year (no mention of the ‘w…..’ word here) that often results in less riding time… But it also increases the chances of not capturing a (specific) short-duration event…like a fall or accident. The footage captured isn’t exactly cinematic: the picture can pixellate at speed and there’s no image stabilisation. It’s certainly very serviceable in a dash cam-type capacity, however, and the quality is respectable for the price.

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. In quieter riding environments the pin-hole microphones on the externally mounted DVR module (rear section of compartment hatch) and the Remote Control (left mirror stalk) do work to provide decent audio, but its not anywhere near travelogue quality, especially with a full-face or modular helmet worn.
