Guys,

Any recommendation for dash cam / helmet cam?
For recording riding trip up to 12 hours per day.

Not meant for socmed content creation.
Just want to play back certain scene, or incidents.

Those Insta360 / GoPro has lousy battery life but good quality video.

For fixed cam on front / rear bike, view point is a little low but no worry about battery life.

Haiya... difficult when over ANALysing this...

Any recommendation?

Get a fixed front/rear cam. Can check out the HP M500. I'm personally using a Blueskysea B1M but the HP seems better.

I'm using hp m500
Good video quality

As for helmet cam, recent reviews lean
more towards to DJI action 3.

GoPro seems to have some freezing/hang issues when it is hot

I'm using an Akaso 7 V2. Audio still sucks. But video is decent. 1 battery can run for about 3-4 hours on 720p. Using with the dash cam mode (looping) on the camera. I can plug it to my usb charger and can record indefinatly. It was cheap. Paid slightly over 500 after discounts. And can use for other action recording.

The akaso 7 is waterproof itself so don't need another waterproof housing.

But for convenience and always on. Only way is to get a built in system.

My solo riding trip so far had been pretty "long",
start early, pop by places etc., hang out etc.

12 hours is the max I need to provision.

Yes.
That's one of the reason I use the dashcam

The main reason is that I need rear video footage as well.

Of course you can. You can buy the usb charger online for cheap..usually between 30 to 40bux and wire it in yourself.

There are a few ways you can go about it.

Find a switched power line and tap it and use a relay to power the USB charger. That's the safest way to do it. And when your bike is off, you don't need to worry about power drain.

I have my switched relay powering up an extra aux fusebox where all the other accessories terminate to (aux lights, 2nd usb pigtail..etc). So everything has its own fuse. Once I turn ignition off, everything shuts off. I am planning to change out the normal relay to a timed delay relay...but lazy me, have not gotten off my butt to do it yet.

The separate relay and fusebux allows me to separate the circuit of the powered accessories from the rest of the bike electronics. So easier to troubleshoot if things go south in the future. The relay gets power from the battery. The switch power line, just turns on/off the relay so it isolates your main wiring from the load of your accessories . This has a side benefit of also not having a mess of wires terminate to your battery.


Just to note, if you use usb to power your action cam, it won't be waterproof as you need to keep the charging port door open. So for long term, a built in system is better.
