American legend motorcycle dash camera
I took the American Legend Waterproof Dash Camera off the bike today because it is an unreliable, faulty and expensive piece of junk. On the ride home today, the rear camera only recorded a one minute file and then nothing for the rest of the 40 minute ride.
This morning on the way to the office, it recorded a car coming up from behind seemingly looking to undertake me. The video showed the approach then the next video in the sequence was about 10 seconds out, so it actually missed the juicy bit where the car was only a couple of feet away from the rear of the bike as I moved over to block his progress. This also occurs on the front facing camera, where there is a delay between videos of up to 10 seconds.
The rear-facing camera view disappears from the monitor regularly. When this happens, the videos it creates (when it creates them) are unreadable and cannot be opened displaying an error message that the system doesn't support these types of files.
I have checked all the cable connections and all seem to be secure.
I have tried reformatting the SD card, playing around with settings including file time lengths, but no change to the fact that it records randomly sized videos from a split second to over 6 minutes in length. Funny that, considering the max video file length in the settings is only 3 minutes.
Unreliable and seemingly a poor quality product. Very disappointed considering I paid top dollar for it.
No response from the "support" email either. Won't buy anything from this outfit again.
