Bike Cam & Motorcycle Camera Summary

What's it all about?

4Kam offers a range of bike camera equipment to suit the needs of both sports enthusiasts and TV production personnel alike. We've been working with mini bike cameras and onboard cameras for many years so we know just what it is you're looking for. Almost all 4Kam products are our own design and specification so you can be sure its just right for the job. Among our other products we have a range of 'Action Ready Packages™' on offer which are ideal if your looking for a full kit. We also have a wide range of accessories too.

The following text will explain a little more about what to look for when buying a bike camera. Although it will be referred to as a Bike Camera, a Motorcyle Camera, Bike Cam or Onboard Camera will perform in the same way.

How does a Bike Camera Work?

Put simply a bike camera is effectively an 'eye'. For the eye to be able to remember what it sees you need a 'brain'! Now we don't sell brains exactly but what we do offer is a mini recording device, our DVR. The DVR (Digital Video Recorder)is connected via a cable to the helmet camera, the DVR will record what the camera sees.

There are a number of alternative recording devices that you could use as anything with an analogue input (av-in) will actually work. It's important though (especially if you are doing extreme sports) that the recording device you use is a 'solid state' recorder. If it isn't the recording may get corrupted if the device is subjected to vibration. For more information on this check out our FREE BIKE CAMERA GUIDE!

Why is the Bike Camera separate from the DVR?

Your camcorder has both the 'eye' and 'brain' in one case doesn't it? We could do this with a helmet camera too but it would be much bigger and heavier making it hard to mount on your helmet or the chain stay on your motorcycle for example. By keeping them separate the bike camera can be small and light making it not only easier to mount but less likely to get damaged in an accident. If you are unlucky enough to crash the footage of your 'wipe out' is safe as whatever happens to the helmet camera the DVR will be safely tucked elsewhere out of harms way!

Its unlikely you'll ever need this as Bill Callister will demonstrate but it is worth bearing in mind!

4Kam Motorcycle Cam and Bike Camera - What's on offer?

4Kam Motorcycle Camera & Onboard Camera

There is now a 4Kam in use on every continent around the globe. We're quite proud of that, plus it means we must be doing something right! By selling more of a smaller range (but of the most popular equipment) means we can get it just right and at a lower price for you too!

46Kam Bike Camera

The 46Kam Bike Camera is our special edition camera for bikers. The 46Kam uses the same high specification chipset as the 4Kam and is housed in the tough aluminum case. The difference between the two is that the 46Kam comes with special edition graphics in a Rossi-esque design making it that bit more special!
