Hi all,
As per title. Ideally ones with good backup and support as well if it goes wrong.
Something you can hardwire.
TIA.

I still use my roam2 I bought 5 years ago. Cost £130 and my instinct I just flip it on every time on go for a ride. Generally it lasts a week (I commute all year round) in terms of battery and space.
I'm sure you can get better quality cameras for the same price. Just stick it to your helmet and it'll be better than hardwiring anything.

Cheers both. Asking for a friend who has a sidecar and he wants it hardwired to the ignition so it turns on when he turns the bike on.
Thought about this which is used for pushbikes:

Asked about hardwiring it.
Besides that he's been recommended one but reviews do not rate the company if it goes wrong.
Alternatively there's a nextbase one in Halfords for £150. Anyone any experiences of that? Obviously support will be good because take it acknowledge, send it off or get a new one etc.

I have a Roadhawk hardwired to start and stop recording with the ignition, but looking on there website the other day it looks like they no longer make it 
On my next bike I am looking at fitting the Innovv K2 dual camera system innov-k2-technical-specifications
I was going to get it originally but at the time they didn't have any UK/EU dealers but that has since changed so although expensive it looks like a great system.
I believe that the Nextbase Ride has now been discontinued, according to my local Halfords they, (Nextbase not Halfords), had lots of problems with them.

What about this, it's for road bikes but he's now thinking about a helmet cam as he rides different bikes:

Anyone ever used them?

Helmet cam look at the Drift range.
Those are the ones he was considering I believe but had heard rubbish reviews on lack of support. They are brilliant until they go wrong he says.
Passed it on. Can't see helmet attachments though.

I use a GoPro hero 4 session (little square one) monted in front of my mouth on my helmet.
Really good quality 1440p recording, but the battery only last about an hour and a half.
I just use it for my commute to work and back just gotta remember to charge it.
I appreciate that doesn't help the OP at all sorry, just thought I'd chip in and get +1 post lol.

Similar stick on system to GoPro using 3m stickies curved and flat and comes with one of each but to buy more isn't expensive.
On my Shoei Neotec2 I use a curved mount, on my Caberg Tourmax its a flat mount.
All mounts here: https://driftinnovation.com/collections/mounts
Cheers for the input. Something to think about because he may be able to hardwire a fused waterproof connector in.
If he hardwires a go pro or a drift as they're desirable items 100% somone rips it and the mount of the bike
Agreed, when the 4k works it's awesome but it's so unreliable.
Had mine since they first came out, worked fine for a couple of months then problems started.
Customer care is none existent.
However bought the latest Drift £129.99 - so far so good.
He'll be switching between bikes so will be a quick connection like motorbike trickle chargers can have a permanent connection to the battery that you just click into i.e. optimate.
