Limited installation methods for back camera
Wiring length of the back camera is halfway; 1m on the Camera side and 1m on the Extension Cord,
The Camera side should be about 30cm and the Extension Cord should be about 2m.
Unlike a driver's camera, the Body's mounting position is near the with handle, so the current wiring length requires a connector connection at the halfway point, making wiring difficult.
The Cable that connects to the Body also has a 4-point screw on the Body Reverse side, but this is troublesome to install.
With this structure, even if the BodyMount base can be removed with One-touch, when the Cable is inserted again,
Since the connector is fixed with a rubber band to prevent 4-point tightening, it is necessary to use a precision driver to remove the screws and insert the cable before fastening the screws, so the screws are left attached after all.
The four screws on this base are not designed to be detached, so if they are completely removed, the screws may be dropped and lost.
The back camera can only be mounted on the upper side of the base in the direction from which the camera is suspended, and cannot be flipped up and down in the body settings.
The position of the Fixing Screw between the Base and Camera is not in the Center, so changing the mounting direction of the CameraBody is necessary,
Difficult to set the adjustment angle downward because the angle of the Camera is Up.
I tried attaching it to the Fender, but it could only be adjusted slightly Up from horizontal.

It's convenient to use without any problems.
The only complaint was the startup time, but this has been improved with the May 2024 Up date.
The screen is easy to read, and there are no problems operating it with the Gloves on.
Merit is more Large-like, which allows you to control Navigation and music without leaving your phone in the Bag, than the fact that you can no longer control your phone in Insta360.

FirstDisplayMonitor
Installation was done by Dealer.
The hardness of the USB port, the problem of breaking if the USB port is not facing the right way, and the hardness when removing the USB port from the Slide, etc., give the impression that the product is not made with frequent connection and disconnection in mind, although it is possible to remove the USB port.
So it is basically to be used with it attached all the time. It is possible to put Wire through it to prevent theft, so I recommend using it.
I feel Merit to have a wired connection as well as a wireless connection, but you need to be careful not to lose the USB Cap!
I have not used it that much yet, but the screen is large, visibility is high, and Response is not bad.

For my first SMARTRideMonitor.
I installed it because the slight vibration of the Motorcycle was affecting the Camera function of my phone (iPhone11Pro).
We wanted to keep Wiring simple, so we chose the Type without the drareco function.
The kit comes with a variety of brackets for installation, so I think it can be used on most large vehicles. I used the base of the RAM Mount that I originally used, so I was able to install it without any extra work.
Wiring is only required to connect to the Plus and Minus terminals of the battery and to the ACC power supply.
Both WiFi and Bluetooth connect without any problems or glitches.
It is not particularly difficult to see even under bright sunlight during the day. I expect that it will be visible even in the midsummer sun.
The downside is that other WiFi-based devices will not work. I tried to remotely control my insta360 from my phone and couldn't do it.
As a supplement, when you register as a User, you will be directed to a dedicated line for inquiries and they will respond to your detailed questions. I was lost in Wiring myself, but they were very polite and helpful.

I am satisfied with it, but there are some points that may bother some people.
I purchased the initial lot and installed it on the same day, and use it every weekend for day-touring. I originally used a smartphone Holder, but found the following points inconvenient, so I purchased this SMARTMonitor.
It is a hassle to take the phone on and off every time you get in and out of the car, especially when you stop for a short while at a convenience store.
It can't be used in the rain (it's a notebook case, so it gets wet, and USB charging from Motorcycle is likely to be shorted).
・Heat makes the phone behave strangely during extreme heat.
The phone holder that can be mounted even in a pocketbook case is too bulky and cluttered around the handlebar.
When a phone call comes in while driving, the Sleep screen appears and Navigation cannot be viewed.
The proportion of parts that are not functions of the product itself (DFS for the application of the Radio Law (60-second wait for connection), Android Auto's characteristics, and performance) is large, but I will write my impressions when I put them together and consider them as a single product.
Elimination of inconvenience points
I→m still not sure how it behaves in extreme heat, but I have almost eliminated it.
Comfort of use
→ no problem but with the following caveats
Points to note
Touch with→Gloves is not very responsive, so Touch pan is required (or TradeOff, since it didn't malfunction even with considerable rain?)
→Brightness switching may be dependent on the phone side, or it may be set to nighttime MODE even in the daytime, or daytime MODE even in the middle of the night.
→After DFS is completed, it takes a long time to connect to my phone. after DFS is completed, it goes to WiFi connection, but it connects after repeating device search, Home screen, device search 2 or 3 times (1 or 2 minutes during this time). is it compatible with my phone?
→ The screen rendering is choppy. I don't use it for Video or Game, so it doesn't affect my use, but if you're used to the slippery crispness of a smartphone, that? If you are used to the smoothness and crispness of a smartphone, you may think, "What the hell?
→And Lloyd Auto is limited in what it can do due to many restrictions.
If you don't check it beforehand, you may be surprised at how little you can do if you use it like MirrorRingMonitor on your smartphone.
Overall, I am satisfied with the price because I was able to solve the inconvenience I had expected at this price, but I think I might have been disappointed if I had purchased the product without much research.

KaEdia is still good!
Although many companies have released SMARTMonitor, I have been waiting for CaEdia's product. I have been waiting for a product from CaEdia because, after all, it is the most cost-effective. I have purchased many of KaEdia's products and knew their high quality and high cost performance, so I had no hesitation in deciding that the SMARTMonitor would also be made by KaEdia. After more than two months of ordering, the SMARTMonitor finally arrived.
There was a small product defect there. It was a paint bald on the housing.
I immediately contacted KaEdia and they were able to promptly replace the item with a good one. As expected of JapanBrand ^ ^.
After installing it, the actual feeling on the Motorcycle is perfect!

Because it is small, it does not interfere with the Meter and Handlebar area, but the map is also small in its own way.
Other companies have similar products, but I was bitten by the fact that it was a new product. I purchased this product without considering the size of the screen, but it is rather small. When I installed it, it did not interfere with the Meter or other devices, which was probably a good thing,
The large size of the map is the same as that of a smartphone, which is hard on the eyes of an old person, but the instructions are only rough, so you have to learn to use it by hand. Except for the Motorcycle Rose, Wiring is not difficult to install with the color-coded connectors. However, since the Camera connector is the same color for front and rear, it is recommended to temporarily turn on the power during the installation (since the Camera in the back has a reversing function). If you do not use your motorcycle frequently, it is recommended that you connect the ACC and the constant power to ACC separately. If you do not use your motorcycle often, it is better to use only the ACC connection for constant and ACC. I put a switch in the middle of the ACC power supply because the power comes on even when it is not in use. At first I thought the Touch screen response was sluggish, but with my bare hands it was fine, and in my experience it was sluggish with Gloves, but with Gloves, which does not support smartphones, the movement was better. However, the buttons are small enough to fit the screen, so you may end up pressing the one next to it. There is no automatic screen illumination adjustment (I always set it to max except at night. You can set the screen to nighttime, but it's a bit of a hassle). The position of the HomeButton on the map screen is annoying (it can be moved temporarily).

Depends on the use of Main.
I purchased Mirror as Main, which is easy to see during the day.
I bought this one considering the cosmetics including Included Parts:because it was difficult to see the screen in Situation where the sun shines during the daytime with my previous driver's recorder with Monitor.
The screen visibility is not as good as the Tanax SMARTRideMonitor installed on Main's Motorcycle, but if you don't compare it to the Tanax SMARTRideMonitor, you can see the screen even in daylight at a perfectly acceptable level.
In terms of the total price including the Air Pressure Monitor, I think it is a totally reasonable price.
I use it in car play, but when I want to use it in Camera screen, it tries to switch to car play by itself, so I have to operate it each time to switch the screen back.
I would appreciate it if this is fixed in a future version up, but I have no problem using it as a SMARTMonitor.
But overall satisfaction is very good.
If you are hesitant about Tanax because of the price, I totally recommend it. Quantity with the same content:Set is almost half the price, lol.

You should have the store do the installation.
Wiring is tedious, it took me 6 hours. I had originally installed a Mistuba camera, so I thought I would use it if I could, but the terminals were different, so I had to remove the existing camera altogether.
About Camera
The Camera in the "Included Parts:" section is smaller than the Mistuba one. Moreover, it was not compatible with the Bracket on the License Plate, so I had to modify it to fit the Bracket.
About Cable
The power supply cable has a +- terminal that looks like a round terminal for direct connection to the buffer and no terminal for ACC. I think it is a hassle for motorcycles that do not have a terminal to take out ACC like CB.
About the attached Mount
The monitor is in the way, so I can't pull the key out, and I can't seem to swing it around, etc. I have made a 1 inch BallMount with a pontoon. I think it is better to wait for the official product because it is obviously a modification.

Expectations for the future.
Saturday, December 2, installation.
Installation can be done by an individual if he/she is able to take out the ACC power supply and handle the Wiring.
Just installed, so not sure how it will be used.
The image quality of the appleCarPlay connection and DriveRecorder looks good.
However, the initial setup (connection to the smartphone) was surprisingly difficult.
The Body is not likely to be easily removed (wiring and special tools required), so it is unlikely to be stolen.
However, leaving it on all the time is not good for your mental health….
Maybe blindfold them with a Towel or something.
Up-dating of Farm Wear is possible, so we are looking forward to the future.
