Fantastic Quality and high capacity Dashcam

I was looking for a Dashcam that would record 60fps at 1080p quality. Thankfully the Roadhawk HD-2 is able to do this and is able to offer high capacity storage as well. The software that comes with the HD-2 is simple and easy to use and allows you to see GPS and Speed information as well. It also comes with a event button on the back that allows to automatically store the last few moments of footage in an area on the card that can't be automatically overwritten.

The HD-2 may come at a premium, but you won't find a better Dashcam on the market today.

Great product, seems to be no Windows phone app

The camera is great. Arrived quickly, easy to install and easy to view files by putting the card in my computer. Video quality is very good. Just can't find a windows phone app to allow me to stream video directly from the camera, so I can't change the camera date and time settings, etc, nor look at files, etc, whilst on the road. This is a shame, but a common problem for us Windows phone users.

Excellent HD

I got this to record my long trips. Drove from Meopham Kent UK to Midleton Ireland and did a fantastic job of videos. I set videos at 30 min a piece which allowed me to edit. After that set it for recording to work with events in case something bad happens. Love the quality of videos. Don't need a video screen on it to align, thats just distraction. Point forward and go. Came with mounts that I fixed and use a alternate purchase suction cup mount which works great in other cars. Also got the the hard wire kit and implemented later, which is essential. Very happy with the RoadHawk, will definitely get another for secondary vehicle.

Great all rounder

Great quality footage and easy to use. I have had no issues. Some problems from my team have however included a difficulty to download files and a slow connectivity. But all in all a great product that most of us are going to get.

Road Hawk R+ camera

I'm dead pleased with my Road Hawk R+, so pleased I have just bought a couple more!

After a couple of software glitches early on that were resoled very efficiency by the guys at Road Hawk I have found this camera very effective for videoing biking activities.

I also have a GoPro and Drift Ghost and find the Road Hawk a more effective package. I recently took it on a 4000 mile trip to Russia and back and it recorded the whole journey without any problems.

I have the camera set up to start when the bike starts and overwrite the 32Gb card when it is full, set on 720p it records a whole days riding which I then transferred onto a hard drive ready for the next day.

The only two improvements I would suggest is 64Gb card capability and remote communication via Bluetooth or similar.

Never be without one

My family and I have been using Road Hawk cameras several years now. ( I upgraded to a RH2 but we also have three RH1's in other family vehicles.
So far, (solely due to Road Hawks), we have been able to successfully defend or pursue against
1) A car rolling back into my car at a set of lights, ( the other driver initially insisted I drove into him until I pointed out the in car camera. )
2) A child running out from the pavement into the path of a car .
3) Damage to my fathers car as he drove past a two violent drunks.
4) Successful recovery of significant vehicle repairs caused by a skip lorry who failed to stop after hitting the stationary car.
Why Roadhawk ? We were victims of a very expensive fraudulent crash for cash claim some years ago whereby a car was reversed into our stationary car at a set of lights. We were adamant that we wanted to fight the claim but because we did not have a camera and no witnesses our insurance company would not fight the claim despite the criminal nature of the incident and the ridiculous size of the personal injury claim.We were held at fault and incurred a massive increase in our insurance premiums and loss of no claims bonus.
Now we have the Road Hawk's this should never happen again.
Road Hawk are not the cheapest but the excellent picture quality plus the g force sensors and speed recording show exactly what happened and gives you the best chance of a successful outcome.
Be aware of cheap so called HD cameras with appalling picture quality that cannot even read other number plates in daylight and have negligible night vision.
I found Road hawk to have the best value night vision ability.
I have no hesitation in recommending Road hawk.

Roadhawk Dashcam

An excellent project. Only one problem I have had is that it will not accept a micro SD card in an adaptor.

Dependable, clear image camera

An excellent camera with a clear image and excellent customer support.
The only thing that would make this camera better is battery backup so that it recorded for x mins after the engine was turned off. I.e. To keep recording in a car park

Roadhawk

First and foremost, the memory capacity is not enough. It would be far better to have a hard drive under a seat, with a capacity of around 1.5-2tB - roughly the equivalent of 1-12,000 miles - or even 25000 to include company cars. That would provide protection from delayed claims "he knocked me of my bike 5 years ago". changing the SD card can be difficult because of the location of the camera. It's black and you cannot see what you are doing while facing the windscreen. In sunshine, it also gets knocked out of line by unsympathetic passengers.
The camera itself is not reliable enough: two new cameras in 16 months is not good enough. Roadhawk could end up as the Vauxhall of the industry: comes up with a class leader then sits on its laurels while competitors race ahead.

Road Hawk Ride R+ bicycle head cam

Excellent unobtrusive bullet headcam. Easy operation . Good software download. Stable date and day stamp unlike cheaper versions which lose their date and time. Good selection of accessories. Will definitely buy a further camera for continuous rear view monitoring.

Definitely one of the better Dash Cams on the Market

Overall I am very pleased with the RoadHawk. The horizontal design means that it can be located close to the mirror, and not cause any visual obstruction. Overall the recordings are of an acceptable quality, although like most dash cams you have to be fairly close to clearly record number plates. My biggest dislike was the original software for replaying recordings, where it did not string together the individual recordings into a single film. A later version of software is now available which does string together the replay. Within the family we have four different dash cams and I have to say the RoadHawk in my opinion is the best.

A very good little camera

The only negative thing i have is when the camera is mounted on the dash you are unable to see the 2 LED,s if there are on to let you know if it is running.i think they would be better fitted on the back of the camera so as they visible all the time. I know you have a chime when it is first plugged in, with the engine running and the radio on you don't hear it .

Great service, great product

My RoadHawk bullet camera has proven to be an excellent help to catch the driver that knocked me off my bike before he drove off. I'm never riding my road bike without this camera again.

Safe riding!
