QUICK GUIDE
LET’S GET STARTED
Congratulations on purchasing your Cyclevision Helmet. Please refer to SETTING UP CYCLEVISION HELMET to make sure you properly adjust the Cyclevision Helmet to suit.
For the best experience, we recommend fully charging the internal
3250mA Lithium Polymer Battery before rst use. Full charge is indicated
by illumination of 4X battery status indicator lights.
The Cyclevision Helmet comes with dual integrated 32GB memory cards and are not removable, upgradable or interchangeable. Do not attempt to open the helmet to change the cards under any circumstances. The housings have been sealed and damage to the housings, camera and PCB may occur. Any attempt to open the camera housing will result in voiding of the warranty.
Each camera records in 1080p = 1920 x 1080 x 30fps HD Vision. Each memory card is written at approximately 100Mb per minute of
record time, the vision data les are recorded in 2 minute loops; if the integrated memory becomes full during recording, the older video les will be overwritten by the newer video les. This process (under normal
circumstances) will occur every 4 hours of recording time.
The Cyclevision Helmet also records sound and the microphone holes must never be poked with foreign objects or damage to microphone components will occur.

WARNING! The Cyclevision Helmet must be adjusted before each ride.
Step 1 - Retention System
Before putting on the Cyclevision Helmet, completely loosen the rotary retention dial (1), place the Helmet on your head and rotate the dial to
tighten the Helmet for a snug and comfortable t. The Helmet should not
feel loose on the head.
Step 2 - Position
The Cyclevision Helmet should sit level on your head about one or two
nger-widths above your eyebrows. The Helmet should not be worn
sloping back off your head. Tighten the retention system until the Helmet feels snug.

Step 3 - Buckle Strap Adjustment
Connect the male/female retention strap buckles, centering them under the chin. The straps can be adjusted to lengthen or shorten them so the
Helmet stays rm on your head and the straps maintain a rm t under
your chin.
Step 4 - Side Strap Slider Adjustment
The side strap must be adjusted using the slider to form a “V” shape under and in front of the ears.

Charging the Battery
The Cyclevision Helmet comes fully assembled with an internal 3250mA Lithium Polymer Battery.
The Battery is fully enclosed in its own separate housing and is not removable from the Cyclevision Helmet. Do not attempt to open the Helmet to change the battery under any circumstances. The battery housing has been sealed therefore damage to the housing, camera and PCB may occur if tampered with. Any attempt to open the camera housing will result in voiding of the warranty.
To charge the Cyclevision Helmet plug one end of the USB cable into any wall power outlet, we recommend a DC5V - 2A USB charger adapter, and place the other end of the Micro USB cable into the REAR Micro USB Port.
Do not plug power into the front USB port – this will not result in battery recharge and may damage the electronics.
Step 5 - Final Check
The Cyclevision Helmet must be properly secured on the head without rocking forward over the eyes and/or backward on the head.
This does not only provide correct protection in case of a crash but is necessary for the quality of the video recording. Both the front and rear camera angles are preset for correct helmet positioning.
Cyclevision cannot be held responsible for vision data capture angle differences if the Helmet is not correctly placed and secured on the head.

Battery LED status lights
Battery recharge will commence immediately once the USB cable is plugged into the rear USB port, and the rear Battery LED status lights will illuminate indicating the battery is recharging.
Charger Requirements: Output current: DC 5V 2.0A
If using a Power Bank to charge the Cyclevision Helmet, turn ON the Helmet and make sure it is in RECORDING mode, then plug-in the Power Bank connection.
Note: If charging the Cyclevision Helmet by Power Bank whilst in RECORDING mode, the charging speed will be very slow due to
insufcient charging current given from the Power Bank.
The Cyclevision Helmet can be topped up with a Power Bank once the Helmet has been turned on and is operating correctly.
Turn the Cyclevision Helmet ON let the 10 second start sequence
complete. When both red LEDs are ashing, plug in your remote Power
Bank to the rear micro USB port, the Helmet will now be accepting a power top up whilst continuing to record.
The Cyclevision Helmet has a 3250Ma battery. The useable life can be extended approximately by 1000Ma for every hour. For example, a 2000Ma power bank will extend the runtime for approximately 2 hours if fully charged.
WARNING! DO NOT USE A POWER BANK TO CHARGE THE BATTERY IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT. DURING CHARGING, THE TEMPERATURE SHOULD NOT BE OVER 45°C.
Note: Both USB ports are open to the weather. They are both sealed
inside the helmet and are of waterproof nature so no damage can be done if water is sprayed into this area.
WARNING! DO NOT PLUG THE USB CABLE INTO BOTH THE FRONT AND REAR USB PORTS AT THE SAME TIME UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES! THIS WILL DAMAGE THE ELECTRONIC CIRCUITRY. DO NOT SWITCH CAMERA ON WHILST HELMET IS CHARGING AS IT MAY CAUSE CAMERA TO OVERHEAT.

Powering On: Press the On/Off button on the back of the Cyclevision Helmet for at least 1.5 seconds to power on. The camera start sequence will commence which takes approximately 10 seconds. Once the start sequence has been activated do not press the ON/OFF button again until the start sequence has fully completed.
The rear camera status light located to the top right hand side of the rear camera lens tube will illuminate as a solid Red light for approximately 4 seconds. Additionally, the front camera status light will illuminate red and follow the same start sequence as the rear.
Powering Off: To turn the helmet OFF hold the power button down for 2 seconds then release. The helmet will take 3 seconds and then shut down, all lights will turn off indicating power OFF.
Power ON / OFF
POWERING ON / OFF CYCLEVISION
Once the ON/OFF button has been pressed, the red front and rear camera status lights are illuminated, and all 4 Blue LED battery level indicators will illuminate for approximately 4 seconds, then revert back to display the remaining useable battery charge.
When fully charged the 3250 mA battery will run the helmet continually for approximately 2.5 hours without WIFI running.
4 LED lights = 4/4 full charge 3 LED lights = 3/4 charge 2 LED lights = 1/2 charge 1 LED light = 1/4 charge

During the start up sequence, both the front and rear camera status lights will go off for approximately 3 seconds, then come back on as solid red lights for another 3 seconds, after which the front and rear camera
status lights will start ashing, indicating that the front and rear cameras
are both in simultaneous operation and recording correctly.
If there is a solid Red light being omitted from either the front or rear camera status lights, then this indicates that the camera is not recording.
For example, once the helmet has been turned on and has completed
its 10 second start sequence, if the front camera status light is ashing
and the rear camera status light is displaying as a solid red, then this indicates that only the front camera is recording, and the rear camera is not recording.
To recap:
LED ashing Red - Camera Recording
LED solid Red - Camera not recording
DUAL CAMERA FUNCTION
Connecting to Streaming App
Your Cyclevision helmet functions in conjunction with the ‘Cyclevision’ App. Before using the Cyclevision camera it will be necessary to download and install the App onto your smartphone.
The ‘Cyclevision’ App lets you stream the footage from the Cyclevision Helmet during recording . This allows the user to use their mobile device as a rear view camera.
Download the free ‘Cyclevision' App from either:
Connecting to the Helmet
Turn your Cyclevision Helmet ON and open your smartphone settings. Search available wireless networks.
Please note that WIFI is turned off by default, a short press of the ON/ OFF button can turn WIFI on/off.
The Cyclevision helmet can stream live vision to your smartphone through the ‘Cyclevision’ App from either the front or rear cameras.
CYCLEVISION APP

WIFI
The Cyclevision Helmet is set by ‘factory default’ to the following:
For viewing vison from the rear camera: MTEK_b_WIFI Password 87654321
For viewing vision from the front camera: MTEK_f_WIFI Password 87654321
SSID
The ‘SSID’ and name of the viewing camera can be changed to suit the user i.e. MTEK_b_WIFI –change to- ROB_b_WIFI MTEK_f_WIFI – change to- ROB_f_WIFI
Password
The password (87654321) can also be changed to suit the users
preference; however just by changing the SSID name, is more than
satisfactory to uniquely electronically mark your Cyclevision camera helmet.
Refer to ‘Camera WIFI Settings’ for full details. This is found in App Settings.
WI-FI, SISS AND PASSWORD
After selecting either MTEK_b_WIFI or MTEK_f_WIFI, enter the default password 87654321. A small blue tick will come up next to the Wi-Fi network connection once it has successfully connected.The Password can be changed at a later date in the App settings.
The pairing of Wi-Fi with the ‘Cyclevision’ App merely allows the use of a mobile smart phone to be used as an ‘electronic rear vision mirror’ when mounted on the bicycle handlebars, suitable for the display of rearview
approaching trafc. The pairing of Wi-Fi is not necessary to continue
helmet recording functions. All vision and sound data is stored within the Cyclevision Helmet on twin Micro SD Cards and not in the App.
CONNECTING TO WI-FI
22
23
To show that either of the front or rear helmet cameras have been paired with your smartphone, the default Red camera status LED lights will
revert from ashing Red to ashing Green.
Once the Wi-Fi connection has been made, close Settings on your smartphone and open the ‘Cyclevision’ App.
Front Rear
CONNECTING TO WI-FI
The Cyclevision App start screen will appear and the rear helmet camera will connect to the App. This will take approximately 4 seconds and then live vision will be displayed from the rear camera.
Open the Cyclevision App
The rst time you open the Cyclevision App you will get the connection
screen, and the spiral connection icons will appear. In later times you will get a black screen while loading.
In this example we have chosen the rear camera to view Wi-Fi streaming MTEK_b_WIFI.
USING THE APP
24
25
The smartphone screen can be rotated from portrait to landscape modes to suit user preference.
Landscape mode is the preference for viewing rearward approaching
trafc, because this provides a larger screen display.
The large central Red App control button on your smart phone screen
will be ashing when in record mode. If the button is not ashing press to
activate the record mode.
App control button
USING THE APP
If the red control button within the app is ashing, so will the green
helmet camera status light, indicating the camera is in record mode.
If you press the ashing button so that it becomes solid red, the helmet
camera status light will also show solid green, indicating that it is not recording from that helmet camera.
If the helmet camera has been turned on and the front or rear camera
status lights are displaying one red ashing light, and one solid red light, then the associated non ashing camera status light indicates that the
camera is not in record mode and the user must change the settings in the ‘Cyclevision’ App.
The underlying reason the rear camera does not record immediately upon helmet camera ‘start-up’ is the ‘Auto Recording’ mode is not engaged. Go to ‘Settings’ and make sure ‘Auto Recording’ is turned ON.
USING THE APP

How to access App Settings
Step 1 - Select the round yellow settings button on the vision screen. Step 2 - Select ‘Other Settings’ located under ‘Quick Settings’.
For example, if you nd the ‘Auto Recording’ feature is off, go to ‘Other Settings’ and you will nd ‘Auto Recording’ as the 6th option down.
Simply move the slide bar to the right to expose the green ‘ON’ mode. The Helmet will now function with the rear camera in operation every time the Helmet is turned ON.
Settings Other Settings
APP SETTINGS
The Cyclevision App has various other functions and controls including the ability to control the operation of either the front or rear helmet cameras, but also the mode of viewing and vision data recording.
Note: The red camera control button must always be OFF (not ashing)
before any setting or mode changes can take place. Pressing this button will turn OFF the associated camera while you make setting adjustments. Remember to turn the red camera control button back ON again after adjusting any of the App settings.
VIDEO SETTINGS
Video Display
This will mirror the current vision data capture mode that the App has been set to, and highlight in yellow.
Video Resolution
By default, this is set at 1920x1080 = equal to true HD recording and is not adjustable.
APP SETTINGS
Select Mirror Mode ON to view rearwards approaching traffic on the correct side of the rider, as seen on
your smartphone when mounted on
the bicycle handlebars facing the rider.
CAUTION : If the Mirror Mode setting is OFF rearwards approaching vehicles will appear on your smartphone screen on the
opposite side to the rider

Video WDR
Cameras with wide dynamic range (WDR) have special software that allows them to balance that lighting for a clear image. Select WDR to improve the overall exposure throughout your entire image. It enables the camera to pick up greater detail in dark shadows, while making sure that the highlights don’t get blown-out, the result is a natural looking video.
Video Exposure
The Cyclevision camera has terric ability to record astounding vision
clarity while riding directly into or towards the sun or very bright objects, by default the setting is 0.0, if riding in low light situations or at night, then select this option and change the setting to +2.0 this will do two things:
1. Lighten the smartphone viewing screen.
2. Open the camera aperture to allow more light onto the image sensor and enable low light recording
Remember when the Cyclevision Helmet or ‘Cyclevision’ App is subsequently shut down the last settings will be maintained, and if for example you rode at night and adjusted the App to suit, remember to readjust back to 0.0 for riding in bright sunlight, to prevent overexposure of the next loop of recorded image.
APP SETTINGS
OTHER SETTINGS

Viewing Your Video Footage
To playback your video, you must rst transfer the video le/s to your
computer.
Downloading Vision Data From Either The Front Or Rear Cameras
The Cyclevision Helmet has two separate high denition cameras, thus creating two separate video les each time you record.
Simply connect the USB Cable provided to the desired camera and connect the other end to a computer and turn ON the Cyclevision Helmet. Browse the internal memory card and select the video/s you want to transfer to your computer.
WARNING! DO NOT PLUG THE USB CABLE INTO BOTH THE FRONT AND REAR USB PORTS AT THE SAME TIME! THIS WILL DAMAGE THE SEALED (UNREMOVABLE) INTERNAL BATTERY.
TRANSFERRING VIDEO/S TO PC/MAC

Your computer will take up to 14 seconds to detect the Cyslevision Helmet camera and once detected simply follow the onscreen prompts to
download the vision data les to your storage area of preference.
The Cyclevision Helmet records in true HD 1920 x 1080 x 30fps which is equal to 100 MB per minute. This is a reference point only, environmental
factors may vary le size.
The vision data is recorded in 2 minute loop sequences, i.e. if the inbuilt
32GB memory card were empty and the camera activated the rst 2
minute loop will be recorded followed immediately by another 2 minute loop and so on. When the card becomes full the programming will dump
the very rst loop recorded (oldest loop) and replace it with the newest
loop, (and so on).
If you do not download the vision the loops will simply continue to
overwrite each other ad innitum.
A 32 GB memory card when full will download approximately 120 x 2 minute loops of vision and sound. This is why Cyclevision has kept the default card to 32GB, if we elected to install a 64 GB memory card
(approximately 8 hours of storage) it would require 240 les to be
transferred and downloaded and you may be quite annoyed at the length of time it takes to do this.
TRANSFERRING VIDEO/S TO PC/MAC
The Cyclevision Helmet has a reset button located on the top right hand side of the ON/OFF button.
If the helmet is not functioning correctly, refuses to shut down correctly or has any other troubling issues, use a paper clip and gently insert it into the hole and feel for the reset button, located slightly to the top corner of the reset hole.
