Motorcycle Dash Cam Camera, Blueskysea DV988 1080p 30fps Dual Wide Angle 140 Degree Lens Sportbike Recording DVR with 4'' Touch Screen Rugged 32GB Card Loop Recording GPS Mode

I'v installed this product on my 2019 Kawasaki Concours 14. That bike has extensive fairings that hide the necessary wiring and cables. Might not be a good choice for a "naked" bike. Although there was nothing difficult about the installation it did take hours to properly install. The only tricky part for the average buyer is the fact that is a wire that must be connected to a +12vdc source that only is powered when the ignition is on. That turns on recording when the bike is started. The system also connects to the battery so that it has power continuously for the function that starts recording if movement (adjustable sensitivity) is detected. For the ignition trigger I found a AUX fuse position and removed one terminal, soldered the trigger wire to it, and reinserted the terminal. I was able to mount (adhesive) the GPS antenna to a horizontal surface just rearward of the seat. It does take quite some time to route the wires around and through the bike, e.g., the gas tank has to be lifted up so wires and cables can be routed under it. I mounted the rear camera on top of a license plate storage box and the front camera on the top of the instrument cluster just behind the windshield. I have a Helibars system installed on the bike. It has a 5/16"-18 threaded hole in the center of the bar clamp on top of the bike triple-clamp. I fabricated a bracket to mount the DV988 head unit in that location. There is a flat spot on the Helibars system just inboard of the grip controls where the small remote button was attached. Pushing the button briefly takes a still image and a longer push locks the recording at that point.

The unit did not last more than three days after the install. Bench test was good and post installation test was as well. Operated accordingly for a few days when the display turned off while viewing recorded video on the unit directly. Functionality was not recovered after completing the troubleshooting process. The labor involved with installing this device on a motorcycle properly will make you want to vomit at the thought of completely removing it let alone installing a new one again.

The media could not be loaded. Easy to wire in. Cameras are smooth enough, haven’t tried in twilight or darkness yet. Instructions are pretty standard for a Chinese product. As in, next to useless.App is clunky and not well done. But again, it’s a cheap camera system.

This is definitely the better of most of the dvr/ cams out there. I'm not tech savvy at all and even i could figure it out with the directions that come with it and a little help from YouTube. I do want to let everyone that gets this to put the white wire in with ignition fuse and I have my red wire in with my cooling fan fuse. Dont hook any of those wires directly up to the battery it will kill your battery eventually and really you don't want to hook anything directly up to your battery ever, and plus you don't need too. You can use a fuse adapter but its not necessary, just make sure the wires are in the correct side of fuse, in other words the power out side. And definitely make sure you test run everything before you fully install, this way you won't have to do it all over again. Also I want to give a big fat shot out to Vicki, when I cracked the dvr screen accidentally ( which still works btw) she was super supportive in helping me get a new one. FYI she is in China I believe so it takes a little longer to get a response, but with some patience rest assure they'll get in touch with you eventually. I will definitely keep doing business with this company and also I never leave reviews i hate and I usually don't give a rats ass but I owed it to that awesome lady across the pond for all the emails I sent trying to figure out what was the best options for me, like I said she was super supportive very patient and tolerant (; Thanks again for everything Vicki, i hope this review helps as much as you helped me. I hope we'll talk again someday.

I had high hopes of installing this Blueskysea DV988 motorcycle dashcam on my 2014 Harley-Davidson Ultra Limited, and I almost succeeded. I planned where I would install the cameras, the remote, and the GPS antenna. Then I disassembled my bike so that I could neatly run the cables behind the fairing and under the fuel tank.I picked a spot for the display monitor under the seat, and spliced the power cable into my wiring harness. After connecting all the cables I brought out my new iPhone SE 2020 with the dashcam app preinstalled. It took a few attempts to get the app to recognize the DV988 via WiFi. However, the video feed would not transfer to the phone.Rebooting both the unit and phone, re-powering, resetting the unit, reinstalling the app, resetting the phone's WiFi, etc., was a massive waste of time. Nothing worked. After 2 hours of troubleshooting, I gave up in defeat. Thankfully I did not mount anything with the 3M tape, so it was easy to remove everything to repackage it for a return.The phone app was poorly translated to English, and the onscreen menu for the DV988 unit itself is poorly thought out. The printed manual provided sparse instructions and no explanation of the features. For example, the only reference to the GPS unit was a single word: Optional.Another problem with this unit is the excessive length of cables, which you cannot splice to shorten. While too much is better than not enough, it was WAY too much. My Harley is a very big bike, and managing the excess cable was a headache. If you have a smaller bike, good luck.If you buy this dashcam, I hope it works for you. Unfortunately it was a total fail for me and a waste of a day. The only reason this review gets 2 stars is because at least the unit powered up and connected to the cameras. BTW, I am a very advanced techie. I build my own computers, networks, and I have advanced programing skills going on 35 years.EDIT: After returning the unit I learned that if WiFi calling is enabled on the phone it might cause the problem I described. By default, I have T-Mobile WiFi calling enabled. If your video feed will not connect to the app, try disabling WiFi calling and reboot your phone. No guarantees, but it might do the trick.
