NextBase Ride BikeCam Manual de usuario
Instruction Manual
INTRODUCTION TO USING YOUR BIKECAM
The Nextbase range of cameras have been designed specifically with ease of use in mind, it is
recommended NOT to change the default settings, which have been carefully selected to give the
best performance for day to day use.
Basic operation.
The BikeCam is set to record video continuously, in files of just 3 minutes in length. There is no
gap between each video file. This means that each video file is a manageable size should you need
to download and send to your insurance company etc. Eventually your MicroSD card will fill up with
video files but don't worry, the camera automatically deletes the oldest file to make space for new
recordings. This way you never run out of space and have plenty of riding historical evidence saved.
Typically a 16Gb card will store the last 2 hours of riding footage.
The Time and Date are automatically set upon the camera from satellite data, however it will always
set Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). For summer months where the clocks are brought forward or for
driving in other countries, adjust the time in the General Settings Menu (Time Zoneone / DST) to
account for the time difference from GMT by adding or subtracting 1 hour etc, if required.
There are 3 modes of camera operation. Press the MODE button to select accordingly.
Video. The default mode when the camera is turned on, for video recording.
Photo. Allows you to take still photographs.
Playback. Allows you to view recorded video or photographs upon the cameras LCD screen.
Automatic Start / Stop Technology. The BikeCam senses power supplied to the cigarette power
socket as soon as the vehicle ignition is turned on and will start to record automatically.
When the ignition is turned off, the BikeCam will perform an automatic shutdown process.
1. Tips for capturing best video footage:
1.1 Reduce the amount of sky in the picture, by angling the view of the camera towards the road.
Too much sky will make the road appear darker due to the automatic exposure compensation.
2. Tips for stable memory card performance:
2.1 Periodically reformat the memory card. Every 2-3 weeks we recommend that you reformat
the memory card. This will wipe any files from the card and set it up afresh for continued use
with your BikeCam.
Of course, you should only do this AFTER you've downloaded any files from the card that you
may want to keep, as formatting the card will remove all content. Press MENU twice and
choose the Format Card option. Follow the on-screen instructions accordingly.
2.2 Switch off the BikeCam before removing the SD memory card, to prevent the chance
of damage being caused to the memory card or the files stored upon it, turn OFF the
BikeCam before removing or inserting the memory card.
3. Tips for using the playback software:
3.1 Copy files from the memory card to your PC and view the files from your PC directly, using
the supplied playback software.
3.2 Connect to the BikeCam using the free FinalCam application and view the recorded video files
upon your smartphone or tablet.
