“New motorcycle dashcam from Tanax, under 10,000 yen, small, light, and easy to install!” Long-time recording up to 6 hours

In the event of an accident, recorded video footage can be beneficial as conclusive evidence. Dashcams are becoming a necessity in automobiles. While dashcams for four-wheel vehicles are rapidly gaining popularity, their installation rate for motorcycles is not as high. One reason for this is the hassle of installation. While installation for four-wheel vehicles is completed by simply attaching the unit to the windshield and plugging it into the cigarette lighter (power) socket, most motorcycle systems require the installation of both the camera and the unit separately, and the power source is taken from the vehicle’s harness, making DIY installation difficult for users. The large number of parts required and the high price are another reason why dashcams are not widely adopted.

The AKY-710Lite, released by Tanax in December, is a one-body dashcam that combines the main unit, camera, and battery. The main unit is lightweight at just 101g, can be easily attached to the handlebars or brace bars, and has a built-in battery, eliminating the need for complicated wiring. It also comes equipped with a 2-megapixel camera and a long-lasting battery, all for just under 10,000 yen (tax included).

The built-in lens features a large aperture of f/2.0, comparable in brightness to a digital camera, capturing clear images even in dark places. The ultra-wide 122-degree angle captures a wide range of subjects. The 2-megapixel image sensor supports 2K/1080P multi-resolution, ensuring clear video at all times and allowing you to select the optimal image quality for your shooting needs. The built-in 1800mAh battery provides up to six hours of continuous recording. A waterproof charging cable is included, allowing you to power the camera via the built-in USB port or a mobile battery. The camera is also IP66 waterproof and dustproof, ensuring peace of mind even in sudden rain or dusty conditions.

Despite its light weight and low price, the basic functions are solid. Equipped with a G-sensor, it locks data to prevent overwriting when it detects a collision or accident, and even when recording is stopped, it automatically starts recording and records the moment of the accident if it detects a collision, so even if you are hit while parked, the moment is recorded. The main unit is attached to a bracket, so it can be easily removed and there is no risk of theft while parked. The quick release side is also secured with the included anti-theft screws, preventing theft and vandalism. With all this performance, 9,999 yen including tax is a bargain price with excellent value for money.
