Bike Guardian Wi-Fi - "double the
driving protection"
Said to "double the driving protection",
the Bike Guardian is described as the
"first 'dash cam' specifically for
motorcyclists".
Developed by Italian rider
communications specialist Midland and
launched onto the market at the start of
2019, the device doubles with a new Wi-
Fi camera that was unveiled at EICMA.
"Driving protection and camera control
are the main focus of Bike Guardian Wi-
Fi, which can be managed via an app.
The standard accessories supplied also
make it perfect to be installed on the
windscreen of a car.
"The term 'dash cam' identifies a camera
which records video of each moment you
are driving in traffic continuously, in order
to witness a problem, an accident, a
dispute, or a fall or other problem or
incident.
"For a long time, dash cams have been
reserved for cars and other multi-wheel
vehicles, but now these special cams are
also available for those who normally move
on two wheels.
"Midland was the first to put the compact
and lightweight Bike Guardian on the
handlebars. And Midland, again, is the first
to introduce a Wi-Fi version of the Bike
Guardian, which can be used not only on
motorcycles and scooters, but also in your
car".
Installation of Bike Guardian is quick and
easy - the cylindrical 'dash cam' is fixed to
the handlebars with the provided universal
support and it connects to the power cable
which, in turn, is connected to the ignition
key assembly or to a compatible power hub
already installed on the vehicle.
The Bike Guardian records on a micro SD
card (up to 64 GB) and has an internal
rechargeable battery with an autonomy of
around two hours. If your daily trips are
short, the battery life may be enough, but
the manufacturer always recommends to
power Bike Guardian via a cable, which is
the only configuration that automatically
activates the "video rec" as soon as you
switch on the engine (and, similarly,
switches it off when you turn off the
engine).
"What can the Bike Guardian see?
Everything in front of you and partly at the
sides while riding. The recording is in a loop
with 1080p full HD or 720p resolution. This
means that the content will be overwritten
as soon as the microSD has no memory left.
The purpose is not to lose any frame and to
record every instant".
