Helmet Cam + Motorcycle Dashcam: My Ultimate Setup with RoadPupil

Motorcycle riders often ask whether a helmet cam alone is enough — or if a motorcycle dash cam is still worth installing.

After riding with both setups separately (and missing footage more than once), I ended up running a helmet cam + motorcycle dashcam combo on every ride.

I’m Zoe from the RoadPupil team, and in this post I’ll show you my real-world setup — how I use a helmet camera together with a front-and-rear motorcycle dash cam, and why this combination has become my go-to for everyday riding.

What’s This Helmet Cam + Motorcycle Dashcam Setup?

Instead of choosing between a helmet camera or a motorcycle dashcam, I use both — because they capture very different parts of the ride.

Here’s what my current setup includes:

• A high-resolution helmet cam for first-person footage (great for daily rides, near-miss records, and casual vlogging).

• A dual-lens motorcycle dashcam mounted on the bike, covering both front and rear traffic.

• A screw-in motorcycle camera mount kit, so nothing shifts or flies off at highway speeds.

Together, this helmet-and-bike camera setup gives full ride coverage — what I saw, and what actually happened around the motorcycle.

RoadPupil gear is designed specifically for motorcycles — not adapted from car cameras.

What I personally care about is simple installation, stable mounting, and known reliability in real riding conditions. That’s why this setup works well even if you’re new to motorcycle mods.

Unboxing + Accessory Highlights

When I first opened the box, everything felt purpose-built for riding.

The helmet camera is compact and easy to forget once mounted. The dash cams feel solid and well-sealed, and the screw-in mounting system is noticeably more stable than adhesive or suction mounts — especially on rough roads.

Installing the Setup — Easier Than It Looks

I’m not especially technical, and the full install took me about 30 minutes.

Helmet Cam Setup:

• Mounts on the top or side of the helmet

• Screw-in design keeps it secure

• Powered by a small power bank or internal battery

Motorcycle Dashcam Setup:

• Front camera mounted under the headlight

• Rear camera placed near the license plate

• Wiring routed cleanly under the seat with zip ties

This kind of layout follows the same principles explained in how a proper motorcycle dash cam setup works 👈

Real Ride Review — Is It Worth Using Both?

After riding with this setup for a while, the benefit is clear.

• Helmet cam footage shows exactly what I was looking at

• Front and rear dash cams provide objective road context

• Footage stays consistent even at night

• Everything remains stable on bumpy roads

Having both angles has been especially useful for reviewing close calls and unexpected situations, without relying on memory alone.

Some riders ask whether a smart helmet can replace this kind of setup. In practice, helmet-integrated systems and external cameras serve different purposes.

If you’re curious about that difference, this breakdown of what a motorcycle smart helmet actually does explains it clearly.

This helmet cam + motorcycle dashcam combination isn’t just for content creation.

It’s for riders who want reliable footage, better awareness of what’s happening around their bike, and a setup that works quietly in the background while they focus on riding.
