Posted May 25, 20241 yr I recently installed a Vsysto Q6L motorcycle DVR and thought I'd review. It comes with two wide angle cameras (1080p), power module/vibration sensor, CPU, manual switch, WiFi antenna and everything you need to wire it up on a T7. I think it also came with an 32GB SD card, but not 100% sure now. I put a 128GB card in it anyway – just pay attention to the SD class spec and I believe 256GB is the max. I got the option with the GPS unit. What that does is embed coordinate metadata into the video files produced. The system writes files for the front and rear camera in subdirectories "F" and "R". Popular tools like Dashcam Viewer can show you all cameras, possibly superimposed (like PIP) and a map with the GPS position of the frame. Front camera mounted underneath crash bars: Rear camera mounted under a rack: Manual controls/vibration feedback thingie. It will vibrate like crazy if there's something up with the system (e.g. SD card failure etc.). I left/right mattered when I installed it, but despite the markings, really just the color is referred to in the manual. If I can be bothered, I might rotate it 180 later to look neater. One of the buttons will make a "key" video. So if some exciting Shet happens, press it and you'll get an easy to find file for later. The CPU module fits great at the back. You'll want it there if you want easy access to the SD card (which is behind a rubber grommet on the upper side of it). Also pictured, GPS module. Mounted it on the outside facing the sky for now. WiFi antenna sits fine on that side bit under the pillion: Seat on: My "wiring job". There's a power module in there somewhere with a blue blinky that indicates if there's a vibration. I think the sensor is in the same module – if you poke at it the blue light goes on. If someone messes with your bike, and reaches the vibration sensor threshold while the bike is off, it will power on the CPU and start recording. The yellow wire was pre-stripped to connect as accessory sensor. I shoved that under the accessory fuse in the fuse box. Works great. All in all, very easy to install. Best feature is you don't have to think about it. It's just there and on when it needs to be. Other stuff: Comes with an app for your phone. You can connect the app to the DVR's WiFi and download selected videos. I think they're all MP4/H.264. It's way faster to pull the SD card and copy from your computer if you need a lot of them downloaded. It has voice feedback. It's a bit hard to hear it from under the seat, via my helmet and ear plugs though. Quality is pretty good. Time/day, the device ID and GPS computed speed is burned into the video. I'll try and download some examples and post it here if there's interest. It's not 4k, so making things out like a license plate is only going happen close by. But that's all I need.
May 26, 20241 yr Moderators Welcome to the forum. Looks like a nice setup. Assuming is has a loop option so it records over previous video so you don't have to clear the SD card when full? I have a Gopro mounted up front powered off the ignition that serves me well as a set and forget dashcam, but nothing for a rear view. Your setup is nice in that it has synced rear coverage as well.

June 10, 20241 yr Author Yeah it has a looping feature. I think you can set 1/3/5 minute intervals. I'm using 3 minutes. When the SD fills up, it starts replacing the earliest. I didn't realize GoPro has that! I'm having a ball with this thing.
