ApexGuard DB5s Dual-View
Integrated 2K Front & Rear Helmet Dash Cam
Eliminates multi-device bulk and cantilever neck fatigue. Engineered for South African endurance pelotons, motorcycle commuters, and gravel adventure riders, pairing a 2K SONY STARVIS™ IMX307 HDR front sensor with a patented curved rear lens that hugs helmet contours with zero awkward bracket overhang.
Anatomically Curved Helmet Profile & SONY Optics
Conventional dual-lens setups require clunky brackets that stick out dangerously or unbalance the helmet. The DB5s uses a patented downward-curved rear assembly that sits flush with the shell's natural taper.
Patented Curved Rear Optical Chamber
Specifically angled to follow helmet curvature. Keeps the rear camera tucking tightly behind the rider's cranium, maintaining an unobstructed line of sight behind while eliminating high-speed aerodynamic drag and helmet buffet.
SONY STARVIS™ IMX307 Low-Light Sensor
Captures razor-sharp 2K QHD front video with authentic hardware HDR. Its 150° ultra-wide field of view sweeps across multiple traffic lanes, cycle paths, and road verges to register vital road incidents and license plates.
Simultaneous Recording & All-Weather USB-C Charging
Built-in battery powers up to 5 hours of continuous dual-lens FHD recording. For ultra-endurance rides, bikepacking, or commercial courier shifts, connect an external power bank via the exclusive waterproof locking collar to record indefinitely in heavy wind and driving rain.
- ✓ Sealed Connector Ring: Prevents physical vibration disconnects on rough corrugated trails.
- ✓ IP65 Ingress Gasket: Weatherproof rubber seal protects the high-speed Type-C port from moisture and grit.
Exterior Architecture & Intelligent Guardian Firmware
Tactile 4-LED system feedback, automated motion-sensing sleep/wake cycles, and crash-proof streaming file systems.
Tactile Interface & 4-State Diagnostic LEDs
Equipped with 4 quick-glance status LEDs (Recording, Battery, Wi-Fi, and Charging), sensitive built-in audio microphone, sealed MicroSD card slot (supports up to 128GB), and textured tactile power toggle designed for gloved hands.
TS Stream Writing & Fatigue Vibration
Selectable TS format writes video second-by-second, preventing file loss if sudden battery cutoffs or impacts happen. Features a built-in vibration motor that alerts riders at 1h, 2h, or 3h intervals to prevent riding fatigue.
Direct Wi-Fi App & Cloud OTA Updates
Riders download incident clips roadside directly to their smartphones over peer-to-peer Wi-Fi (zero cellular data used). Firmware upgrades, sensor tuning, and feature improvements are installed with a single tap via Over-The-Air (OTA) cloud sync.
Multi-Scenario Versatility & GoPro Ecosystem Mounts
Compatible with the global standard GoPro three-prong interface. Moves effortlessly between road helmets, mountain bike full-faces, tactical vests, and sports gear.
Technical Validation & Commercial Terms
Automotive-grade durability standards adapted for cycling and powersports. Verified for immediate retail onboarding across South African national retail channels.
