A motorcycle dashcam is a compact and robust device designed to capture every moment of your rides. Tailored to the specific demands of motorcycling, it mounts easily on handlebars, the dashboard, or even the fairing. This specialized camera ensures you record all the action and scenery, offering protection and adventure in one stylish package.

Today, our blog will explain why you need a dashcam, how to choose the best dashcam for your motorcycle, and recommend the best dashcam for you. Let's get started!

Is it worth having a motorcycle dashcam?

Yes, installing a camera on your motorcycle is a good idea for several reasons:

1. Security
Recording of incidents or accidents for insurance claims and legal evidence.
2. Vlogging
Documenting wrinkles for personal use or for sharing on social media platforms.
3. Navigation
Review of sequences for studying and improving driving techniques. However, as we all know, different people focus on different things. I believe wise people would not put themselves in dangerous situations.

Authorized institutions

Here are some studies related to the use of CarPlay to reduce road accidents:

1. AAA Foundation for Highway Safety (American Automobile Association)
The organization's research revealed that Apple's CarPlay and Google's Android Auto infotainment systems are less distracting for drivers than the built-in infotainment systems designed by automakers. During a phone call, CarPlay and Android Auto are on average 24% faster (5 seconds) than the cars' original systems, and 31% faster (15 seconds) when setting up navigation. This difference is crucial for drivers because once a driver takes their eyes off the road for more than two seconds, the risk of an accident doubles.
2. Texas A&M Transportation Institute
A research study published by this institute in 2014 showed that when drivers send text messages manually or using voice assistants like Siri while driving, their reaction time is twice as long as in a normal state. This indicates that even with features like voice control, CarPlay can still distract the driver and increase the risk of an accident.
3. University of Utah
In 2014, researchers from this university stated that there is no significant difference in driver distraction between hands-free calling and direct calling while driving. Both can endanger road safety, and voice assistant applications like Siri may even be more distracting for drivers, and their level of danger to road safety is also higher.

How to choose the best camera for a motorcycle?

When choosing the best camera for your motorcycle, several factors must be considered. First, image quality is crucial. Opt for a camera with high resolution and good low-light performance to capture clear footage in various conditions. Durability is also important, as it must withstand vibrations and the elements. A wide-angle lens is beneficial for covering a larger area of ​​the road. Additionally, consider storage capacity and the ease of accessing and transferring recorded videos. Finally, ensure the camera is easy to install and won't interfere with your riding.
