of your motorcycling journeys.
MCDV2HD 1080P Motorcycle DVR 2
Before you start, please read the
following advice:
ŸChipatronic recommends professional installation by an auto-electrician,
motorcycle repairer or other suitably qualified person.
ŸThe owner may do installation, but will require a good understanding of
auto-electrical systems. If in doubt, have a professional installer make the
final (2 amp fused) connection to the motorcycle’s accessory power.
We accept no responsibility for damage caused by incorrect installation.
ŸThis kit includes a handlebar mounted controller which if fitted, requires
the rider to operate the buttons with their thumb. This controller should
not be used for novice riders or any rider not fully capable of operating
this without taking their hands off the hand grips. The handlebar
controller is not required for standard operation and if there is any
question on the ability of the rider to use this safely it should not be fitted.
ŸThe kit includes a GPS antenna which can be fitted to provide additional
data which is saved into the video file. This data will show the location
(GPS coordinates) and vehicle speed. The accuracy of this data is based
upon the GPS system and is not guaranteed by any external reference.
Once the GPS data has been received by the device it is embedded into
the saved files and cannot be altered or removed.
Recording and storage of your video
ŸBefore you can properly use the device you need to purchase and install
a micro-SD card, Class 10 or better (max 128GB).
ŸTo playback your video, it is best to insert the card into a card reader
attached to your computer or other device. Note that additional
hardware may be required to import video from any SD card to devices
such as tablets. A USB/Micro USB adaptor is included which will enable
connection to many devices but no all.
It is recommended that you purchase at least two micro-SD cards, if you
plan to review your videos regularly. Remove the current card and insert
the second one to ensure that video recording is not inadvertently
stopped due to the card not being put back into the DVR.
MCDV2HD 1080P Motorcycle DVR 3
It is recommended that you reformat the micro-SD card, at least once
every three (3) months to ensure best use.
ŸThe device is designed to record and store important data.
It should be installed safely and securely under the motorcycle’s seat or
in a weather tight compartment, where it will be out of the weather (rain
and dust) and is protected from tampering or theft. Please note that the
DVR does generate heat and should not be covered by tightly packed gear.
Carefully check the parts of the dashcam kit, as you remove them from
the box:
ŸThe MCDV2HD itself (“the device”), which is the core of the kit
ŸA mounting bracket for the device.
ŸTwo (2) video cameras, each with
extension cables and mounts.
The front camera is the larger of the 2.
ŸA handlebar controller (large red
buttons), designed to be mounted on
the handlebars using touch-tape
(Velcro™), with input splitter cable to
connect the controller to the main power
unit.
ŸA GPS receiver (to record location and
time).
ŸA power supply cable and power convertor box.
ŸUSB test and charge cable.
USB to micro-SD card adaptor.
It is highly recommended that the kit is assembled and tested in the
workshop prior to installation on the motorcycle to ensure a clear
understanding of the layout, connections and functions.
Your new micro-SD card should come formatted ready for use in the device.
The card may be formatted in the device if required. (Note: To preserve the
correct operation of the micro-SD card we strongly recommend that the card is
reformatted on a regular (three (3) month) basis.

Wiring Diagram - Layout
ŸVideo plugs are small and delicate. Rough handling or dirt can damage
them. During assembly the video plugs should be clean and carefully
aligned, then gently, but firmly pushed together. After installation (not
now) they can be taped to seal or use heat-shrink prior to assembly.
ŸThe above drawing shows where each of the parts of the kit attaches to
the device. You may wish to use the extensions supplied to reach
handlebar button and camera locations or ensure the GPS device can
“see” the sky.
ŸAttach each of the parts to the device now, but not the main power supply.
ŸUsing a USB power supply, we recommend that you set up the system on
a table or bench before installing on the motorcycle.
ŸA USB cable is provided to charge the internal battery prior to installation.
ŸOnce you are familiar with the parts, setting up and operation, you should
find it simple and easy to use.
ŸAll connections are done with miniature, multi-pin connectors.
MCDV2HD 1080P Motorcycle DVR 6
All cables are included and should be sufficiently long for standard
motorcycles. Excess cable should be coiled and held in place. Do not cut or
crush cables!
If you have not already done it, assemble all of the parts as per these
instructions and diagrams.
Advice on fitting the device to the motorcycle is at the end of the document.
You should now charge the internal battery, preferably using a power supply
with USB output.
Next you will follow the operating instructions using buttons 1- 4, to set your

select specific parameters, press the “UP” or “DOWN” buttons, then press
“OK” to confirm. Press and hold “MENU/OK” to Exit.
Please Note The DVR has been pre-configured to suit most users but it is
highly recommended to take a few minutes to become familiar with changing
to a different mode, selecting a parameter, setting it and confirming OK.
These are the steps that you will repeat for each of the parameters.
As long as the device is working properly, you only have to set these
parameters once. It is easier to do this setup on the bench, than with the
device installed under the motorcycle seat.

parameters then Press “MENU/OK” to confirm, press and hold to Exit.
1. Format
Caution: Use FORMAT with care. Selecting this option will delete all of the
files by reformatting the micro-SD card.
However, after regular use, it is recommended that the micro-SD is
reformatted at least every three (3) months. Ensure that any important
videos have been copied or downloaded to your computer before
reformatting.
2. Screen Off
The device will save battery energy by turning off the LCD (liquid crystal
display) screen. Under normal operating conditions, the device (and screen)
will be concealed under the seat (so you can’t see them anyway).
Off Screensaver off, so LCD will remain on
1 Min LCD will enter screensaver mode after 1min (recommended)
3 Min Camera will enter screensaver mode after 3min without operation
5 Min Camera will enter screensaver mode after 5min without operation
Note: When the device is in Screensaver mode, simply press any button to
restore the screen.
3. G-Sensor
The device is designed to be sensitive to shocks, such as vehicle impacts.
However, if the sensitivity is set too high, the device may be triggered by
minor events, such as hitting small bumps and pot-holes in the road. When
the device receives a shock, it automatically saves the video in a file that will
MCDV2HD 1080P Motorcycle DVR 9
not be overwritten. Under normal circumstances, each video file will be
saved as type REC.XXXX.AVI. Think of REC as being normal RECording. The
REC files will be overwritten by looping recording as the micro-SD card
becomes full. That is, these REC files are not protected.
Upon impact the video file name will be saved as EVE.XXXX.AVI. Think of
EVE as being an EVEnt.
G-sensor sensitivity may be set to either,
Off, High, Medium or Low.
We recommend that you start with Medium sensitivity, and see whether your
local road conditions are triggering the writing of EVE.XXXX.AVI files.
Reducing the sensitivity of the G-sensor, should prevent too many EVE files
being written.
4. Light Frequency
Light Frequency We recommend 50Hz, which is consistent with Australian
standards. 50HZ/60HZ
5. Date Format
Default is DD/MM/YY but you can change the format if needed.
6. Date Input
If using the GPS the device will pickup the date but you can check it and
change the date if needed by using the Up - Down buttons.
7. Time Input
Again the GPS should pickup the time but you can check it and change it if
needed or if you are not using the GPS.

can be set automatically by selecting the GPS time zone. By default this is set
to GMT: + 10 which EST. Remember that you may need to alter this for
daylight saving time.
9. Sys (System) Reset
Do not use unless necessary! Should a system error occur, selecting this
option will allow the MCDV2HD to be restored to the factory settings.
Please note that if this option is selected, you will need to go back through
the steps above to select your preferences.
