GETTING STARTED
Congratulation on purchasing your Cyclevision advanced concept Cycling Helmet! But please remember No
bicycle helmet can protect the wearer against all possible impacts, ride safe, stay safe and please refer to SET UP
CYCLEVISION HELMET to make sure you properly adjust the Cyclevision helmet to suit.
For the best experience, we recommend fully charging the internal 3200mA Lithium Polymer battery before first use.
Full charge is indicated by illumination of x4 battery status indicator lights (page6 - item 18).
The Cyclevision helmet comes with dual integrated 32 GB memory cards which are not removable nor
upgradeable; one 32 GB Micro SD card is located within the front camera housing, the other 32GB Micro SD card is
located in the rear camera housing.
Each camera records in 1080p = 1920 x1080 x 30fps HD vision, each memory card is written at approximately 100Mb
per minute of record time; the vision data files are recorded in 2-minute loops; If the integrated memory becomes
full during recording, the older video files will be overwritten by the newer video file. This process (under normal
circumstances) will occur every 4 hours of recording time.
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 will result. Any attempt to open the camera housings will result
voiding of the warranty.

CAUTION
1 CAUTION: Cyclevision has been designed and tested to withstand moderate speed water injection at IP 67 level, this
is a mandatory condition for weatherproofing the device, however the helmet has not been designed for nor suitable
for, water sport, or water-based activity do not swim with or submerge your Cyclevision helmet
2 CAUTION: Your Cyclevision helmet can live stream vision to your mobile smartphone screen (when mounted on
the bicycle handlebars) for use as an electronic rear view mirror
The electronic rear vision as seen through the Cyclevision App has a characteristic called ‘video latency’ (Being:
The delay from the time the image has been captured & processed by the helmet PCBA, Wi-Fi to your mobile
smartphone, reprocessed and displayed as an image on your smartphone screen) of approximately 0.3ms
(milliseconds). Therefore, approaching objects as viewed through the Cyclevision App from your mobile device
screen may in reality be closer than they appear as a display on your smartphone screen.
3 CAUTION: The Cyclevision App has a ‘Mirror Mode’ setting (discussed in detail under App settings)
The mirror mode ensures that vision of rearwards approaching and passing traffic is in fact approaching and
passing the rider on the correct side (as viewed on their mobile smartphone screen) i.e vehicles which appear to
be approaching the rider on their right side, do in fact pass the rider on the right side (or vis-versa)
By default, the Cyclevision App ‘mirror image mode’ is selected ON. This is so the user can avail of this system
immediately without the need to enter into the App settings. The user must enter the App settings to turn the mirror
mode OFF and as such doing so (turning Mirror mode OFF) releases Cyclevision from any liability from any event
occurring from such action
4 CAUTION: Do not use the Cyclevision electronic rear vision as your ‘only point of reference’ when crossing traffic
lanes, visually and physically check actual traffic conditions at all times

HEAT SINKS
Your Cyclevision helmet has two Microprocessors built into the front and rear camera housings, which under normal
operating conditions may reach warm operating temperatures, (the same as a normal computer).
In order to cool the twin microprocessors Cyclevision has included in the design of the helmet two aluminium heat
sinks in the front of the helmet, located either side of the camera lens, and one aluminium heat sink in the rear of
the helmet located behind the head restraint mechanism.
It is perfectly normal and safe for these heat sinks to get warm to touch during normal helmet camera operation
and battery charging. (similar to your mobile phone being warm during extended use) The heat sinks will not burn
you, nor get warm enough to cause an ignition or set your hair on fire; the heat sinks are merely a conductive
means to remove latent heat away from the microprocessors and vent to the atmosphere
Do not touch the heat sinks while the helmet is in use.
Whilst the heat sinks will not reach any temperature where they can cause irritation, they may at times feel
uncomfortable if touched during operation and battery re-charging, so for added protection the rear heat sink has
a mesh cover over it to prevent accidental touch (as shown in this picture).

SETTING UP AND WEARING CYCLEVISION HELMET
Warning! Cyclevision helmet must be adjusted before each ride.
The Cyclevision helmet must feel comfortable on the head; if not the helmet straps must be adjusted to ensure a
comfortable firm fit.
The helmet is designed to be retained by a strap under the lower jaw
To be effective, a helmet must fit correctly and be worn correctly. To check for correct fit, place the helmet on
head and make any adjustments indicated. Securely fasten retention system. Grasp the helmet and try to rotate it
to the front and rear. A correctly fitted helmet should be comfortable and should not move forward to obscure
vision or reward to expose the forehead
Step 1 –Retention System
Before putting on the Cyclevision helmet, completely loosen the rotary retention dial, place the helmet on your
head and rotate the dial ‘clockwise’ to tighten the helmet for a snug and comfortable fit. The helmet should not
feel loose on the head. Rotate the dial ‘counter-clockwise’ to loosen
The Cyclevision helmet should sit level on your head about 2 cm (or two finger widths) above the bridge of your
nose.
Step 2 – strap and slider adjustment
Connect the male/female retention strap buckles (page 12 - items 6 & 7)
The straps can be adjusted to lengthen or shorten them for a secure fit so the helmet is firm on your head and the
straps maintain a firm fit under your chin.
The side strap sliders (page 12 – items 5) can be adjusted to form a comfortable ‘V’ shape under your ears.
The helmet should not be worn sloping back off your head.

SETTING UP AND WEARING CYCLEVISION HELMET
LIMITED IMPACT PROTECTION
Helmets cannot always protect against injury. Even a very low speed accident can result in serious injury or death.
Any time a bicycle helmet has been subjected to a severe impact it should be discarded and destroyed, even
though any sustained helmet damage may not be outwardly visible. Since this helmet is made of polystyrene foam
with internal plastic strengthening frames, there is still a chance that the frame may be broken internally and if the
shell is damage it may be penetrated by sharp objects.
HELMETS CAN’T PREVENT ALL HEAD INJURIES
Some head injuries are not caused by impact, but by other influences. In some instances, you can destroy
something precious just by vigorously shaking it. You don’t have to break the helmet to destroy the contents.
Helmets cannot prevent this type of injury.
HELMETS CAN’T PROTECT WHAT THEY DON’T COVER
This bicycle helmet will not protect the neck or any area of the head it doesn’t cover. It cannot guard against
spinal or other bodily injuries that may result from a minor or major incident, accident or event
YOU SHOULD ALWAYS:
1. Wear your helmet low in the front to protect the forehead.
2. Fasten your buckle and tighten your chin strap.
3. Check your adjustments every time you wear your helmet.
4. Store your helmet in a cool dry place.
5. Wear a helmet designed for what you’re doing.
6. Ride Safely.
FINAL CHECK & PRE-SET CAMERA ANGLES
The Cyclevision helmet must be properly secured on the head without rocking forward on the eye and/or
backward on your head.
Correct helmet fitting not only provides you with the correct level of protection in case of a crash, but is necessary
for the proper quality of the video recording.
The camera angles have been carefully pre-set into the helmet and are not moveable, the angle of the camera
lens has been designed for the helmet to be correctly worn as depicted below, if the helmet is slopped backwards
off the head then the vision capture angles will be incorrect.
Whether you are riding in an upright position (as on a mountain bike) or facing down (as on a road bike) the pre-set
camera angles will record the events around you correctly if the helmet is positioned correctly
Cyclevision cannot be held responsible for poor vision data capture if the helmet is not correctly placed and
secured on the head, as specified in this manual.

CHARGING THE BATTERY
Your Cyclevision helmet comes fully assembled with an internal 3200 mA Lithium Polymer battery.
The battery is fully enclosed in its own separate housing and is not removable from Cyclevision helmet.
Do not attempt to open the helmet to change the battery under any circumstances.
The battery housing has been sealed and damage to the housing, camera and PCB will result if tampered with.
Any attempt to open the camera housings will result in voiding of any and all warranty.
Recharging of the battery is via the ‘REAR’ Micro USB port (ONLY)
The rear Micro USB port provides a port for battery recharge and rear camera vision/sound data download.
The front Micro USB is only for front camera data download and does not accommodate battery recharge.
To recharge the Cyclevision helmet, use the Micro USB cable provided: ensure it is orientated correctly and plug
the small end of the cable into the rear Micro USB port, plug the other (larger – rectangle) end of the plug into any
USB connector socket.
Battery recharge will commence immediately once the USB connectors are plugged in and the rear Battery LED
battery status lights (page 13, item 17) will illuminate indicating battery is recharging, these lights may flash
intermittently during recharge.
Warning! -
Do not plug a micro USB cable to both the front and rear Micro USB helmet ports at the same time, as this will
damage the electronic circuitry.
More battery charging tips are on page 33, 34

BASIC OPERATION
The Cyclevision bicycle helmet’s innovative design means a one touch operation, press the on/off button, wait 10
seconds for the helmet camera ‘start sequence’ to complete, and you are ready to go with all the protection you
need.
However, behind any great device there is a level of detail that needs to be understood to ensure you get the
most from your Cyclevision dual camera helmet.
Please take time to read the following instructions before setting off.
TURN HELMET CAMERAS ON & OFF
Turn the helmet ON by pressing the round ON/OFF button (located at the top of the rear camera housing cover)
hold the button down for one (1) second and release.
The camera start sequence will commence; the complete start sequence takes approximately 10 seconds.
It is important that once the start sequence has been activated that the ON/OFF button is not pressed again until
the start sequence has fully completed.
To turn the helmet OFF hold the power button down for three (3) seconds then release, the helmet will take
approximately 3 seconds and then shut down, all lights will be extinguished.
Once the ON/OFF button has been pressed and released the RED rear camera status LED light (page 6 - item 16)
located to the top RHS (Right side) of the rear camera lens tube will illuminate as a solid RED light for approximately
4 seconds.
Additionally, the RED front camera status LED (page 4 - item 9) will illuminate and follow the same start sequence as
the rear RED LED.
Both front & rear RED LED camera status lights will then go off for approximately three (3) seconds, then come back
on as a solid RED light for another (3) seconds.
After which the front and rear RED LEDs will flash on/off indicating that the front and rear cameras are both in
simultaneous operation and recording correctly.
EDGE
Page 16
CVHC-01-01/02/03 Revision L Instruction Manual Revision-5 (13-01-2019)
HELMET START SEQUENCE RECAP
1. Press ON/OFF button for 1 seconds to turn cameras ON.
2. Front & Rear RED LED camera status lights will display as a solid RED light for (x4) seconds.
3. Front & Rear RED LED camera status light will go off/out for 3 seconds.
4. Front & Rear RED LED camera status light will come back on and display as a solid RED light for 3 seconds.
5. Front & Rear RED LED camera status light starts to flash.
Total start sequence = 10 seconds (approximately).
Pairing the helmet to Wi-Fi is not necessary to continue helmet recording functions, the vision and sound data from
both front and rear cameras is stored within the helmet on twin Micro SD Cards (Flash Drive Cards) and not in the
App.
Flashing Red front and rear camera status LED indicators show to the user that the helmet is recording
simultaneously however there is no smartphone Wi-Fi pairing active (at present).
BATTERY CHARGE INDICATOR
At the same time as the ON/OFF button is pressed and the RED front and rear LED camera status lights are
illuminated, all four (4) Blue LED battery level indicator LEDs (page 6 - item 18) will illuminate for approximately four
(4) seconds, then revert back to display the remaining useable battery charge.
When fully charged the 3200-mA battery will run the helmet continually for approximately three (2.5) hours
Four (4) LED lights = 4/4 full charge
Three (3) LED lights = 3/4 charge
Two (2) LED lights = 1/2 charge
0ne (1) LED light = 1/4 charge
For example
1. Press ON/OFF button for 1 second to turn cameras ON.
2. Row of 4 LED battery level indicator lights will display as a solid blue LED for 4 seconds.
3. Example: - If battery is ½ charged the row of 4 LED lights will revert back to display x2 LED solid blue lights

CVHC-01-01/02/03 Revision L Instruction Manual Revision-5 (13-01-2019)
DUAL CAMERA FUNCTION
It is important to note that the RED Front & Rear camera status LED lights must be flashing the flashing light indicates
that both the front and rear cameras are now ON and correctly recording.
Note: the helmet does not need to be Wi-Fi paired to your mobile smartphone in order to simultaneously record
from the front and rear cameras.
So long as the RED LED camera lights are flashing all vision/sound recording is being uploaded and stored on the
internal flash card (Micro SD Card) memory built within the helmet structure
Wi-Fi paring is purely an optional extra user interface
If there is a solid RED light being omitted from either the front or the rear RED camera status indicator LED lights, then
this indicates that the associated camera:
(which is not flashing either) the front or rear camera is not in operation and is not recording.
Both RED camera status LED lights must be flashing for both the cameras to operate and properly record
If, once the helmet has been turned on and has completed its ten (10) second start sequence (as described page
10) and (for example) the front RED LED is flashing and the rear RED LED camera status light is displaying as a solid
RED and not flashing then this indicates that only the front camera is in operation, and the rear camera is not in
operation.
This is not a software fault; but means that the camera record function has been inadvertently turned OFF via the
Cyclevision Wi-Fi App when the helmet was last shut down.
Refer: - Cyclevision app function to correct this situation.
CYCLEVISION CAMERA APP
Your Cyclevision helmet functions in conjunction with the App “Cyclevision”, which is a free download in IOS or
apple from the internet App store.
Before using the Cyclevision camera it will be necessary to download and install the “Cyclevision” App onto your
smartphone.
The true definition of the “Cyclevision” App is a [Camera Controller App] and through the App you have the ability
to remotely setup and control both front and rear Cyclevision helmet cameras depending on your personal
preferences.
Download and install the “Cyclevision” app:
https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/cyclevision/id1324921392?mt=8
(for apple)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cyclevision.cyclevision&hl=en (for windows from the Google

WI-FI SSID AND PASSWORD
The Cyclevision helmet Wi-Fi service Set identifier (SSID) is set by factory default to:
CYC_b_WIFI for viewing vison from the rear camera
Password 87654321
CYC_f_WIFI for viewing vision from the front camera
Password 87654321
The SSID (which is the name of the viewing camera) can be changed to suit the user e.g.:
CYC_b_WIFI can be changed to i.e. ROB_b_WIFI
CYC_f_WIFI can be changed to i.e. ROB_f_WIFI
As desired by the user
However, the SSID name format must be in successive letters or number with no breaks and spaces
The default password is 87654321 but can also be changed to the user’s preference simply by changing the SSID
name However it is more than satisfactory to uniquely electronically mark your Cyclevision camera helmet, as
distinct from other Cyclevision helmets, just by changing the SSID (name)
Note: if you change the password write it down and keep it safe, Cyclevision cannot assist to help retrieve lost
passwords.
After selecting either MTEK_b_WIFI or MTEK_f_WIFI a small blue tick (apple feature) will come up next to the Wi-Fi
network connection; (refer page 22) once it has successfully connect/paired, with your smartphone a password
maybe required, please use default password 87654321
Refer APP USAGE for more details on changing the camera SSID names and helmet camera password.
CONNECTING TO WI-FI
Your Cyclevision helmet can live stream vision to your mobile smartphone screen (when mounted on the bicycle
handlebars) for use as an electronic rear view mirror
To use this feature the Cyclevision App must be downloaded and the helmet paired to your smartphone
To connect to Wi-Fi first turn your Cyclevision helmet ON (as described page 13).
Wait for the start sequence to fully initiate (as indicated by both front and rear RED flashing LED Camera Status
Lights
Momentarily re-press the ON/OFF button for a short (0.5 second)
The front and rear camera status lights will switch from Flashing Red to flashing Green the flashing rate will initially be
fast flash rate (on/off) signalling that helmet is actively going through the Wi-Fi initiation process.
This Wi-Fi initiation process will take approximately five (5) seconds, after which the flashing Green LED camera
status light will revert to a slow green on/off flash rate, signalling Wi-Fi is now ready for pairing
Open your smartphone select SETTINGS and search for available wireless networks.
Search for the SSID name (CYC_b_WIFI) or (CYC_f_WIFI)
And select this network
The Cyclevision helmet can stream ‘live vision’ to your Smartphone through the Cyclevision App from either the
front or
rear cameras.
Once your helmet has been successfully paired to your smartphone from the front or rear camera Wi-Fi signals,
A flashing Green LED indicator light from the front and rear camera status lights means that the helmet has been
successfully paired to a mobile smartphone and is available for front or rear helmet camera viewing via the
Cyclevision APP.

CONNECTING TO WI-FI (continued)
The pairing of helmet camera Wi-Fi signal with the Cyclevision App allows the use of a mobile smart phone (when
mounted on the bicycle handlebars) to be used as an “electronic rear vision mirror” suitable for display of
rearwards approaching traffic.
Note: The front and rear helmet cameras can be Wi-Fi paired to your smart phone for operator use in the same
manner as described.
Note: You can only pair one camera at any one time to your smart phone; it is not possible to pair both cameras at
a single time to the same device.
Note: Initial pairing may require entering of a password, the factory default password 87654321.
The helmet SSID and password can be changed to a user preference – refer App settings.
CAUTION: The electronic rear vision as seen through the Cyclevision App has a mannerism called ‘video latency’
(the delay from the time the image has been captured & processed by the helmet PCBA, Wi-Fi to your mobile
smartphone, reprocessed and displayed as an image on your smartphone screen) of approximately 0.2ms
(milliseconds). Therefore, objects appearing/approaching as viewed through the Cyclevision App screen may be
closer than they appear on your smartphone screen.
CAUTION: Do not use the Cyclevision electronic rear vision as your ‘only point of reference’ when crossing traffic
lanes.
CAUTION: Cyclists must ensure the road traffic is clear of approaching traffic before crossing lanes by physically
ensuring that there is no traffic approaching.

CONNECTING TO WI-FI (continued)
Once either of the front or rear helmet cameras has been paired with your smartphone the default Red camera
status LED lights will revert from Flashing Red to flashing Green
In this example we have chosen the rear camera to view Wi-Fi streaming as a renamed SSID CYC_b_WIFI
Once the Wi-Fi connection has been made, close ‘SETTINGS’ on your smartphone and open the Cyclevision App
from your home screen:
Tap the Cyclevision 360 App to
open the App.
Every time you switch your helmet ON (from the OFF position) it resets the Cyclevision App application, so the first
time you select the Cyclevision App and it initiates for the first time you will get a white connection screen, and the
spiral connection icons will appear as the helmet is paired with the App.
Later times (when you switch the App OFF - but not the helmet, switch the App back ON again) you will get a
blackened start-up initiation screen – both screens will connect to the App.
The Cyclevision App start screen will appear and (as in this example) the rear helmet camera will connect to the
App,
(This will take approximately four (4) seconds) then live vision will be displayed from the rear camera.

CONNECTING TO WI-FI (continued)
There are three (3) factors that can prevent the camera helmet from not connecting to the App and displaying
on your smartphone:
1 The helmet is low on power, simply
check the rear battery level indicator
lights if it is down to 1 light bar then
chances are the helmet does not
have sufficient power to enable
Wi-Fi and connect to the App.
2 The helmet camera may not be listed

CONNECTING TO WI-FI (continued)
In the event that the helmet does not connect to the Cyclevision App, select the settings (home button)
on the ‘No Connection’ screen
The screen will display the ‘Camera List’ and you can see that the App has connected to the Wi-Fi because it is
showing CYC_b_WIFI but is not displaying the connected camera on the camera list screen (it remains blank/black
and say ‘None’)
In this case the ‘Connected’ CYC_b_WIFI ‘slide-bar’ on the yellow screen has not been selected, slide the silver
slide-bar to the right (it will display Green) and the top ‘Camera List’ will display CYC_b_WiFi on a yellow screen.
Select the TICK button located on the top right of the camera list screen and the App will return to the
blackened connection screen then on onto display the camera vision.
On occasions, and depending on other WIFI signals in the area, if the camera will not locate the WI-FI connection
to your phone it maybe simplest to press the No Connection button, this initiates a deeper search
function, and will result in locating the signal form the helmet returning you to screen 2 (above)

APP ROTATION PORTRAIT TO LANDSCAPE
The smartphone display screen can be rotated from portrait to landscape modes (user preference).
Note: Landscape mode is the preference to viewing ‘rearwards approaching traffic’, providing a larger screen
display format, and different smartphone allow for zoom function
i.e. iPhone, Settings, General, Accessibility, Zoom to make the image full screen or zoom (user preference)
HELMET CAMERA RECORD CONTROL (VIA CYCLEVISION APP)
On the vision screen observe the large central Silver/Red App ‘control’ button on your smart phone screen, you will
note that this will be blinking, flashing alternating between Silver/Red
Note: This button must be blinking, flashing in order for the helmet cameras to operate/record. If the button is not
blinking, flashing and remains as a solid red button press the Silver/Red screen button to start alternating between
Silver/Red and activate the helmet record mode:
The Silver/Red camera button on the App Display Screen controls the
(Wi-Fi paired – front or rear) helmet camera record functions; and if (in
this example) you are paired with the rear helmet camera, If the
Silver/Red App screen button is blinking, flashing sliver/red so is the
flashing Green helmet camera status LED light, and as such the camera
will be in record mode.
ON OFF
Pressing the Silver/Red button so it does not blink, flash (remains solid) you will note so does the Green ‘paired’
helmet camera status light; if this is the case there is no recording from that helmet camera.
Press the Silver/Red button on the App display screen so it is blinking, flashing alternating Silver/Red to restart the
camera recording.
Note: in order to activate camera record function, the Silver/Red Cyclevision App and the camera Green status
LED light must be blinking, flashing

APP SETTING ADJUSTMENT PRE-CONDITIONING
The Cyclevision App has a number of settings which when accessed control all of the helmet recording and
viewing functions (some have already been explained earlier).
The App has a ‘pre-condition’ that must be adhered to before any changes the user wishes to make to the
camera settings
The App will not accept changes to any settings while the cameras are in record mod
Turn the helmet ON, pair the helmet to the Wi-Fi signal from either the front or back,
Before making any changes to the Default App settings the Silver/Red button Icon must be pressed and remain as
a solid red button Icon, this will turn the cameras OFF
Note: - it is imperative that after altering any App settings the user MUST re-press the Silver/Red button icon on the
display screen so it will permit and re-commence the icon to Blink/Flash alternating between Silver/Red and for the
camera to recommence recording.
As explained previously; if the Silver/Red button on the display screen is not flashing, so is the helmet camera status
LED light (remaining solid green) and as such the helmet camera is NOT recording vision or sound.
CAMERA AUTO RECORD
Once set correctly via the App the helmet front and rear cameras will commence simultaneous recording every
time the helmet is turned ON.
If the helmet has not been set up correctly (via the App) then the helmet may not be automatically recording from
both front and rear cameras when the helmet is turned ON.
If the helmet camera has been turned ON and the front or rear camera status LED lights are displaying (as in this
example) one flashing Green and one Solid Green then the associated non-blinking Camera LED status light will be
indicating that that particular camera is not in record mode and the user must change the settings in the
Cyclevision App in order for the camera to automatically commence recording on helmet start-up.
The underlying reason the rear camera (as used in this example) is not recording immediately on helmet camera
‘start-up’ is the ‘Auto Recording’ mode was not engaged (switched on).

CAMERA AUTO RECORD (continued)
To rectify this disruption to Auto Recording switch the helmet ON, pair the Non-flashing camera status light (front or
rear) to Wi-Fi, start up the Cyclevision App.
Turn the flashing Silver/Red button Icon OFF so it remains a solid red icon.
Access the App “Settings” by selecting/pressing the round yellow settings button on the vision screen
The following screen will appear listing ‘Display Mode’ and ‘Other Settings’, you can locate the ‘Other Settings’
icon by scrolling down on the screen
Press the ‘Other Settings’ icon button and ‘Settings Screen’ will appear – find ‘Auto Recording’ (6th option down on
the list) and move the slide bar to the right to expose the green ON mode:
The helmet will now automatically record on helmet start-up.
Once the auto record slide bar has been opened (slide to the right and is green), the helmet will come back to
function with (in this example) the rear camera ON and in proper operation every time the helmet is turned ON.
Once this function has been rectified, tap out of the settings by selecting Display Options or the small X sign at the
top Left-Hand Side (LHS) of the settings screen, you will be automatically sent back to the main vision display
screen, you will also note the Silver/Red App control button is now flashing.

BASIC APP SETTINGS
The Cyclevision App has various other functions and controls apart from those as mentioned earlier. The App also
has the ability to not only control the operation of either the front or rear helmet cameras, but also the mode of
viewing and vision data recording from either camera.
The live vision can also be viewed in either portrait or landscape modes by simply rotating your smartphone.
The Cyclevision camera mode has been pre-set by default at180 Wide Screen vision and cannot be changed.
Other App camera settings can be accessed by pressing the smaller round yellow button on the Cyclevision App
screen to the right of the central control button (or by pressing the smaller Plus + icon to the RHS top corner)
It is important to note that the camera Silver/Red control button must first be pressed/selected OFF (stop it from
flashing) before any setting or mode changes can take place, pressing this button will turn OFF the associated
camera while you make setting adjustments.
It is more important to remember to press the Silver/Red camera control button back ‘ON’ again after adjusting
any of the App modes or settings, the red button must be blinking, flashing to ensure the associated camera is now
back on and recording.
The Silver/Red central control button must be blinking, flashing in order for the cameras to be in operation, if the
Silver/Red Central control button is not blinking, flashing then neither is the helmet camera, and if the helmet
camera LED is not blinking, flashing then the associated helmet camera is not recording.

CYCLEVISION APP SETTINGS
Video Exposure
The Cyclevision camera has 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 which is perfect for most riding occasions
However, if riding in very 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 helmet or 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 normal
conditions including moderately bright sunlight, an incorrect Video Exposure setting will cause under or
overexposure of the next loop of recorded image
Cyclevision recommends leaving this at 0.0 because experience sees that the camera copes quite adequately
with low light situations even when set at 0.0
Default 0.0 Extreme Bright light -2.0 Low/Night light +2.0
Auto recording
Explained on page 19 and must be selected to ON, so when the helmet has been turned off and then back ON it

• CYC_b_WIFI for viewing vison from the rear camera
Password 87654321
• CYC_f_WIFI for viewing vision from the front camera
Password 87654321
The SSID (or name) of the viewing camera i.e. (MTEK_b_WIFI) can be changed to suit the user, for example
MTEK_b_WIFI – change to ROB_b_WIFI or CYC_B_WIFI
MTEK_f_WIFI – change to ROB_f_WIFI or CYC_f_WIFI
Whatever the user requires can be typed in, just follow the onscreen prompts
The password (87654321) can also be changed to the user’s preference. However, changing the SSID name, (only)
is more than satisfactory to uniquely electronically mark your Cyclevision camera helmet, apart from others without
having to change the password
Changing the SSID will keep
your helmet distinctive from
other Cyclevision Helmet
cameras;
Imagine the confusion if you
tried to connect to someone
else’s Cyclevision camera?
Changing the SSID is
recommended so long as the
name is a string of words/letters
with no breaks.
i.e. ROB_b_WIFI
After changing the SSID and/or
Password, press OK to save
CAUTION: If you lose your password you will not be able to reconnect the camera to Wi-Fi again (keep your
password handy and safe) CYCLEVISION cannot help you if you lose or forget your password

VISION DOWNLOAD TO YOUR COMPUTER
To download vision data from either the front or rear cameras:
There are two methods to do this
Method 1
Plug in the micro USB cable to either the front or rear helmet ports located on the underside of the helmet, and
then plug into your computer or device.
Your computer will take up to fourteen (14) seconds to detect the camera helmet and once detected simply
follow the onscreen prompts to download the vision data files to your storage area of preference
It is important to note the Cyclevision helmet records in true HD 1980 x 1020 @ 30 fps which is equal to
approximately 100 MB per minute being stored onto the Micro SD card
The vision data is recorded in two (2) minute loop sequence, i.e. if the inbuilt 32GB micro SD memory card was
empty and the camera activated the first two (2) minute loop will be recorded followed immediately by another
two (2) minute loop (and so on). After approximately 4 hours of recording and/or when the card becomes full the
programming will dump the very first loop recorded (or the 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-infinitum.
Therefore, when you plug the helmet into a computer you will always see that the proprieties of that Micro SD flash
card are full, (and it will indicate in red) this is of no consequence as the files will simply overwrite themselves
There is no need to dump the card after 4 hours of recording, or when the card looks to be full
A 32 GB card when full will down load approximately x120 two-minute loops of vision and sound.
It is for this reason that Cyclevision has kept the default card to 32GB, if (for example) we elected to install a 64 GB
(approximately 8 hours of storage) it would require 240 files to be transferred and downloaded and you may be
quite annoyed at the length of time it takes to do this
CAUTION: - Do not plug both front and rear helmet ports into your computer at the same time as his may damage
the electronics
Method 2.
In the event that you do not have a power/data cable with you, or a computer to plug the cable into, it is easy to
playback, watch, and download the recorded footage from either front or rear camera (micro SD cards) directly
onto or from your smartphone and then forward the data from there (user preference)
Firstly, pair the desired front of rear helmet camera with your smart phone (refer connecting to Wi-Fi page 16)
Example
1. Select CYC_b_WIFI from the Wi=Fi settings network
2. Open the Cyclevision app
3. Your smartphone will pair with the helmet (in the event that the helmet does not pair – refer the procedure
on page 18 - 22)

VISION DOWNLOAD TO YOUR COMPUTER (Continued)
Method 2. (continued)
Once paired your smartphone screen will display whatever the rear camera is seeing (at the time)
Turn OFF the flashing silver/red (press the flashing button) to stop it from flashing, and stop the camera from
recording; the Micro SD card files cannot be viewed unless the record mode is ceased/OFF
Press the red icon to the left of the silver/red button to access the onboard Micro SD card library of files
The onboard stored micro SD card files will be displayed
Select the desired file by pressing the ‘download’ icon
A square will begin to form around the selected file,
Once the file has been properly downloaded the ‘share’ icon will replace the download icon
Press the share item to display the many options for viewing the download file (dependent on smartphone type)
i.e. ‘save to files’ or ‘save video’
Open the file and watch the action

BATTERY RECHARGE
To recharge the Cyclevision helmet, plug one end of the USB cable into your computer or any 5V power outlet, or
power source, the other end of the Micro USB cable into the REAR MICRO USB PORT in the rear of the helmet.
CAUTION: - Do not directly plug power into the front USB port – this will not result in battery recharge and may
damage the electronics
CAUTION: - Do not plug both front and rear helmet ports into your computer at the same time as this will cause
confusion for the onboard CPU’s and may damage the electronics
Note, both USB ports are open to the weather, however they are both sealed inside the helmet and are waterproof
to IP 67 so no damage can be done here if water is sprayed into this area.
The Rear Helmet Micro USB Port is for rear
camera vision/sound data download plus
battery recharge
DO not plug the forward Micro USB Port
directly to power / Computer plug in only
The Forward Helmet Micro USB Port is for Forward
camera vision/sound data download only

REMOTE BATTERY TOP-UP
With the helmet operating/recording
Plugging your helmet into a remote power bank is perfectly OK, but once plugged in it will isolate the onboard
battery and draw its power directly from the remote power bank you plugged the helmet into; when that power
bank is empty remove the plug and the helmet will resume to draw its power from the onboard battery
Note, switch the helmet ON first before plugging into a remote 5V power source
Example
Turn helmet ON let the 10 second start sequence complete, note both red LEDs are blinking, flashing then plug in
your remote power bank to the REAR micro USB port, the helmet will now be drawing its power from the remote
power bank whilst continuing to record.
The helmet has a 3250Ma battery the useable life is approximately 2.0 hours (with Wi-Fi) 2.5 (without)
Therefore, the helmet draws current at approximately 1500ma for every hour or record time
Therefore (i.e. Lipstick size 2000Ma power bank) will provide an additional runtime for approximately 1.0 to 1.2 hours
– if fully charged).
PCB BOARD & CPU EMERGENCY RESET
The Cyclevision helmet has an emergency ‘reset button located on the top RHS of the ON/OFF button, if the
helmet is not functioning correctly, has a ‘hissy fit’, refuses to shut down correctly or for any other troubling issues,
use a paper clip and gently insert through the small hole in the rear of the helmet, to the top RHS of the ON/OFF
button, and feel for the reset button –
Push this button (you will feel it and hear it go ‘click’) Push the button to momentarily interrupt the power
supply which in turn will reset both the internal CPUs (Central Processing units) this action should resolve any faults
and return the helmet to factory specifications
The reset hole is not a direct opening into the helmet as it is sealed from the inside; what you are pressing by
inserting a paper clip in the rear hole is a seal membrane which in turn, presses against the rear reset button inside
the helmet
Warning, NEVER insert a paper clip into the front microphone, this is not the reset button, pressing this will damage
the waterproof membrane behind the hole and damage the microphone
