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.
1
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.
10
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.
11
SETTING UP CYCLEVISION HELMETCHARGING CYCLEVISION HELMET
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.
12
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.
13
CHARGING CYCLEVISION HELMETCHARGING WITH A POWER BANK
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
Battery LED status lights
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.
14
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
insufcient 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.
15
POWERING ON / OFF CYCLEVISION
BATTERY LEVEL INDICATOR
Power ON / OFF
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.
16
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
17
DUAL CAMERA FUNCTION
CYCLEVISION APP
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
18
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.
19
WI-FI, SISS AND PASSWORD
CONNECTING TO WI-FI
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.
20
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 trafc. 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.
21
CONNECTING TO WI-FI
USING THE APP
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.
FrontRear
Once the Wi-Fi connection has been made, close Settings on your
smartphone and open the ‘Cyclevision’ App.
22
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.
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.
23
USING THE APP
USING THE APP
The smartphone screen can be rotated from portrait to landscape modes
to suit user preference.
Landscape mode is the preference for viewing rearward approaching
trafc, because this provides a larger screen display.
App control button
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.
24
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.
25
APP SETTINGS
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’.
SettingsOther 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.
26
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.
Select Mirror Mode ON to view rearwards approaching traffic on the
correct side of the rider, as seen 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
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 Stamp
Select this from screen overlay of day and date time
stamping, if selected, this will appear in all the downloaded
vision data on the lower bottom part of the screen
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 terric 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.

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 denition 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.
31
TRANSFERRING VIDEO/S TO PC/MAC
BCB & CPU RESET
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 innitum.
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.
32
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.
Push this button to interrupt the power supply and reset the CPUs.
