THINKWARE Sports M1 Dash Cam for Motorcycle ATV UTV, FHD Dual Channel, EIS, Built-in WiFi, Auto On Off, Loop Recording

I have this system mounted on a 2018 Goldwing Sport , The Brain box fits under left side cover and sits next to Battery on a little ledge perfectly so no seat to take off to access card all the wiring fits under the seat the front and rear camera cables have a pro video quality multi pin waterproof connectors the remote controller is hard wired with a flat cable I attached the controller on the right side frame just behind my leg I can easily access it while ridingit has a half moon switch to make app connection and the other half moon operates the quick record if you want to record a section of road or twisties beach whatever it runs for about a minute and can be accessed without searching the loop video I have the front camera mounted up under the headlight cowl , It's nice the cables are not overly long just right for a motorcycle or ATV not a car or truck and the M1 is aircraft quality build heavy and solid with image stabilization and excellent night vision and a 140 degree view not so wide (170) like some that distorts the video and shows front of fenders and such , The Cameras are not tiny but not obtrusive , Both cams need to be plugged it to operate system and have come to appreciate the rear video more than I thought , Some have mentioned that the power wires are thin and they are but pre tinned wire with a soldered tip just right for slipping under a switched 10 amp fuse and I zip wrap it all down snug not overly tight so things can flex a littleI see no issues if installed correctly I am posting just a pic of the rear camera I installed with just the VHB tape on a removable filler tab on the front cam hanging upside down I drilled a small hole in the tape pad and used a small screw into plastic to double duty install it being it's basically just above the front wheel , I will try and post a couple more pics of front and remote switch a little later if someone wants to see themThis is by far the best quality Vehicle cam I have seen like Nascar quality

I have no idea how this camera works because I cannot get it to work on my phone. It worked once and never since. I followed the directions exactly as explained in the manual (the manual is completely outdated). First of all, there is a QR code for downloading the app. I did that and it lists about 10 models but not my M1. I tried all of the available models and none worked. I went to the internet and it told me that the M1 can no longer use the Thinkware Cloud App (even though the QR Code that came with the camera downloaded exactly that). I then uninstalled the Cloud App and installed the correct app. I was able to connect the M1 to wi-fi and I got an image from each camera. I proceeded to install and mount the cameras but the next time I activated the app it told me that I needed to connect to wi-fi. I did that but nothing works. In fact, the system keeps closing the wi-fi connection and reverting to my home wi-fi router. I have tried this at least 50 times and only end up with frustration.I bought the M1 because it was expensive and I WRONGLY assumed it would be a good product. After a full day installing, I want to rip it out of my bike and throw it away! The app is a piece of shit! Don't buy this system, there has got to be better out there.

The media could not be loaded. **Update** A little less than one year later, the rear mount failed, the adhesive mount tape literally separated in the middle with one side still stuck to the fender and the other side stuck to the mount. The camera bounced around behind me until one of my riding buddies pointed it out forcing me to do an emergency roadside cameraendectomy. Waiting to hear back from the manufacturer because overall I really liked this camera and all its features.So far this dash cam has lived up to all the hype and expectations. It was really easy to install and really easy to operate. The most difficult part was finding a spot to mount the cameras. I will start with the bad, all of which can be overcome, and then move on to the good.Cons1: The cable on the camera comes out the back of the cameras which severely limits where you can mount the cameras. At least for my application it would have been better if there was a 90 degree connector at the rear of the camera2. The camera angle is only adjustable on one plane...If you don't have a good flat surface to stick the mounts to where you can get it pointed in the right direction, parallel to your line of travel, it becomes difficult.3. You only get one chance to stick the mount...be very, very diligent in choosing your spot. Although they provide extra 3M pads, removing the old pad when you find you need to move from your original mounting spot is an exercise in futility. I repeat...be very diligent in choosing your spot.4. Camera's were bigger than expected which make them impossible to be inconspicuous.Note that most of my cons are with mounting the camera. Because of the limitations of the mounts, I ended up using a Go-Pro helmet mount to mount my front camera, that was the only way I could get enough clearance for the cable coming out the back of the camera to clear the back of the fairing.Pros:1. Easy to wire up. I had no problems wiring up this system to my 2014 FLHXS Street Glide Special. I connected the power to the system fuse which has the added benefit of turning the camera when the bike is disturbed but shutting down with the switch.2. More that enough wire is provided3. The Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) works like a charm. (Sample video attached)4. Image quality is excellent.5. App is minimalist and provides all you really need without a plethora of superfluous features that you don't need6. Go-Pro standard mounts fit the camerasBottom Line: This is an excellent camera that is well worth the money. My original mounting spot was between the forks which was a huge mistake that highlighted exactly how rugged the cameras are. I have a dent in my fender now but not a scratch on the camera...well built.

I've been using this for a few years now on my Goldwing and wanted to let others know how great the product has been. The M1 has great video front and back, the record function is simple to use, even with gloves on. The company has also stood behind their product when I was having a strange issue and went out of their way to be helpful. Installation on the Goldwing wasn't easy due to all the plastic panels and that I wanted it as hidden as possible but the entire units design was made for motorcycling. You're not trying to make an automotive product work on a bike, each part is made with a bike installation in mind. Very satisfied after years of use.
