PARKVISION Bike Camera Mirror 4.3" AHD 1080P

Riding for 4000 km round France this spring on our tandem, we fitted this camera the "wrong" way round, to give my partner on the back (the "stoker" in English) a view of the road ahead that wasn't just obscured by my back as the "captain" blocking her view in the front. So, the camera on our tandem is mounted facing forward, not back, on the handlebars at the front, and the screen is on the stoker handlebars just under the front seat. See pictures. Even if there isn't all that much detail on such a small screen, and the viewer on the back has to get used to the idea that the image is mirrored, left being right, and the right side of the view ahead being on the left, it worked brilliantly. The brain, interestingly, does adjust. The battery life was good, though keeping the screen plugged into a powerbank is NOT a good idea as you're riding, since with us this ended up breaking the screen's charger port. For the back end of our six-week trip the device couldn't be used. However, the reason I'm happy to give this item a full five-star review reflects its basic design, its light weight, its long life, its simplicity of mounting, and the superb customer service of Parkvision who replaced the defective screen not just with one item but three! Meaning that if the charging port goes south again, we can have a backup. It does seem that this item can be bought a little more cheaply from other sellers in China. But if you're looking for excellent support and a team that clearly cares how customers experience them and their procucts, then it's probably worth the extra expense.

UPDATE May 2024: In addition to the review I wrote (below) after purchasing this bike camera 8 months ago - I have to say that the customer service has been outstanding. I needed a new bracket for the camera and the Parkview team could not have been more helpful, courteous and speedy with the assistance they gave. 5 STAR customer service!!! This product is a must for safety! It gives superb vision for vehicles approaching from behind. Very sharp colour pictures and easy to install. I have already recommended it to colleagues who also cycle to work in London. The safety factor is also about seeing potential muggers approaching from behind which led me to buy this in the first place. I couple of guys wearing balaclavas came from behind on an electric bike to mug me of my Brompton. There was no way of seeing them first. This camera allows me to glance and look behind easily. FYI thanks to a brave passer by, the muggers were unsuccessful!

I've been using this for a few weeks now. Overall its a great piece of kit to use as a rear-view mirror on my bicycle. Installation is simple, very much plug-and-play. Cable tie the cables to the frame, the camera clamps easily and is very adjustable. The screen clamp is next to useless though, I replaced that for something a bit sturdier as the weight of the screen was too much for the original, In my case I tried my best to tighten it as much as possible but ended up stripping the thread, plus the knob is small and fiddly. Battery life is fine, I can easily get 2-3 hours out of it without recharging, my rides are seldom any longer. There is no infrared though, the camera relies on ambient lighting to show you what's going on, so far I've had no issues with this though, but if you cycle in complete darkness, you will not see much, looks fine with street lamps though. Sunshine is an issue, you will need to angle it out of bright sunshine to see the screen, not a lot you can do about that. Overall I would rate this as a good purchse, saves having to look aver your shoulder all the time, plus you can charge it on the go on your e-bike.

Very good quality product. Robust screen and strong clamps. Neither the screen nor camera wobble even off road. Very easy to fit to bike. Screen is very clear. You can change the brightness. Excellent in the dark, the images are very clear. Camera angle is good so it gives a good view of the road. I'm finally able to do right turns safely as I am confident that I can see everything much clearer than glancing over my shoulder. Highly recommend this product.

Easy to fit , very clear screen Makes cycling safer.

The assurance provided by this accessory, offering a clear view behind at all times and preempting overtaking vehicles, is truly commendable. Personally, I find it superior to radar systems or traditional wing mirrors. However, regrettably, after only six months of intermittent use, the display ceased charging adequately, and its operational duration is now limited to a mere 30 minutes before shutting down entirely. Consequently, this deficiency renders the product ineffective for commutes exceeding this duration. For individuals utilizing an E-Bike equipped with a USB power port for continuous charging, integrating this accessory undoubtedly enhances safety. Nevertheless, for those without such provisions, its advised to opt for a conventional mirror and conserve expenditure.

Camera was great until we had heavy rainfall on a long bike ride, water has managed to get into the screen and the screen is now broken. For 80 pounds I would expect it to be waterproof. Update: after contacting the seller with the issue i was facing they kindly offered me the option of a refund or another option was to send me spare replacement parts from customers who sent back or slight package damage so they couldnt sell, i choose to receive the parts as i now heavily rely on this camera when out and about on my bike, they sent me 3 kits, 2 screens work and 3 cameras work so i will be able to swap out parts when needed, the seller kept me updated at all times and was extremly helpful, i could not recommend this seller highly enough. thank you.

Op mijn elektrische fiets gemonteerd camera onder het zadel en beeld op mijn stuur. Ik beveel dit aan zeker voor ouderen die een beetje onzeker zijn op de fiets en moeite hebben met naar achteren te kijken. Koop ook het extra kunststof beugel erbij om het scherm te bevestigen aan het stuur dan heeft het wat ruimte. De accu gaan lang mee. Wil de fietscamera niet meer missen Had eerst spiegeltjes. die zijn te klein. Trillen. En staan altijd verkeerd. Gaan los op den duur. Dus geef papa of en mama een fiets camera cadeau. Ziekenhuis kost meer.

Très facile à installer et à utiliser, il y a juste un petit défaut sur l'écran (un tout petit point noir) mais cela ne gêne pas du tout, le câble de connexion pour la caméra est suffisamment grand même un peu trop. L'image est très stable je trouve cette appareil très utile et suffisamment efficace en complément de rétroviseur, livraison rapide et soigné je vous recommande vraiment cette article pour m'a part, je ne peut plus m'en passer le petit moins c'est le temp de charge entre 4 et 5h pour une utilisation sur 3 jours a peine

Acquistato per sostituire lo specchietto sulla Mtb che puntualmente con le vibrazioni si spostava. Con questa telecamera abbiamo risolto egregiamente il problema. Buona visione e regolazione in base alla luce solare. Direi pienamente soddisfatta tant'è che ne abbiamo acquistate altre 2. Super anche il venditore che ha inviato una mail per eventuale contatto in caso di qualsiasi problema avremmo riscontrato.

Überrascht bin ich von der Kamera. Einen Vergleich mit einem Spiegel sollte man dennoch nicht machen. Zwei zu unterschiedliche Syteme. Hier mal meine Eindrücke. Stabile Ausführung, leicht zu montieren und abzunehmen. Das 110° Objektiv gibt den gleichzeitigen Blick für die rechte & linke Seite frei, ohne viel Verzerrung und damit eine leichtere Einschätzung der Entfernung. Das Display ist klar und einstellbar. Natürlich kein hochwertiges Handydisplay und wie bei einem Handy auch bei hoher Sonneneinstrahlung schwerer zu erkennen. Das Bild ist flackerfrei. Das Gerät ist bei mir auf den Rahmen montiert (s.h. Foto, Herrenrad). Somit werden keine Vibrationen und ständige Blickänderung durch Lenkerbewegung erreicht. Laufzeit ca. 5 Std. Wer eine längere benötigt kann eine Powerbank anschließen, ein Parallelbetrieb ist möglich.

Ottimo prodotto.
