What's your Recommendation for the Best Dash Cam?

[BGetz]

So after my Uncle’s wreck on his Spyder RTL, I believe I’m going to put a camera on mine.
Looking for your recommendations based on experience.
What I’m seeing out there isn’t good as they work intermittently or have difficulty hooking up/staying connected to the phone.

I'm looking for something that will connect to my phone and have forward and rearward facing cameras.

Thank You for your help.

There's a little over a ton of dash cams out there, and only research will help you find the one you may like the best. I run an INNOVV helmet cam because I want to see what the cam sees. But that's not for everyone's liking, so it all comes down to personal preference. Of course, you could run both helmet and fixed cams, and that would cover just about everything. Most folks with prior experience go simply with front and rear cams and leave it at that. Good luck in your search, because I think there are more cams out there than there are motorcycles. LOL

I use the Viofo motorcycle dash cam. It has front and rear cameras.

INNOVV is the only dash cam I use on all my bikes. No more pesky batteries that die, or forgetting to turn them on/off.

I added this to my 2023 F3-L SS in April of 2024, been great so far, quick button to turn on the wifi to connect to my phone and download video. I put the main unit under the rear trunk and hid the wifi button under the rear seat so that I can reach it without removing the rear seat.
The only gripe I could have is that the front camera turned a copper gold color.

I've been looking at these. How easy/hard was the installation?

That depends on how "clean" an installation you want. I prefer to hide all wiring, and mount the cameras where they are less obvious. I've used Innovv systems on my 2015 RTL, 2020 RTL, and now on my 2025 S2S. I've also installed them on various F3's. There has always been sufficient wire supplied to mount the cameras and hide the wires. I currently have the N1Pro system (which has been replaced by the N2) to gain Android Auto in addition to the dashcam function. Also, this system can be used to show the rear camera view all the time if you want.

As jetfixer said, I have them on all my vehicles and it depends on how much work you want to do to make a clean and professional installation. For the Spyders, all the body panels have to come off... you only need to do it once!

Both our truck and car had dashcams and were involved in accidents. Camera footage absolved us at being at fault. I installed an Innovv K6 this spring on my F3. Only issue was the need to extend some wires as I connected to the accessory plug under the frunk. Pleased with the performance. Rear camera is 1080 and front, 2 k. I was able to read license plates on vehicle behind me when stopped. I bought a bracket from Innovv to deal with the angle of the area between the dash and windshield. I already had a Zumo XT, so the K6 was ideal for my needs.
