Chinese consumer electronics manufacturer apeman has launched a series of smart cycling cameras. The apeman SEEKER series incorporates a modular 4K action camera, integrated smart brake light and taillight system, laser bike lanes and a live rearview via smartphone.

“We wanted to come up with a solution that also allows cyclists to also be completely aware of their surroundings. So, we incorporated our SEEKER series with a modular 4K camera (SEEKER ONE) that has a super-wide 150˚ field of view that records and provides a live view of any incoming vehicles on your smartphone,” said Jimmy Huang, Director of apeman.

The SEEKER R1 also incorporates the SEEKER Smart Tail Light, a combination of an intelligent tail light and brake light system. The built-in light sensor automatically detects the ambient environment lighting and automatically turns on/off. The tail light can detect when the user is slowing down and will flash to alert other motorists. The Anti-collision Laser Bike Lane that will work in tandem with the SEEKER Smart Tail Light to create a “safe-cycle-zone” that warns other vehicles to keep a safe distance from you.

The SEEKER series will also debut their newly integrated GO APE SR Sense Mode, that can be found via their companion app – Go APE. Once paired, SEEKER R1 (and the app) will transform your smartphone into a live rearview mirror/digital dashboard that keeps the user informed with information such as a speedometer, distance travelled, riding duration, battery life, altitude meter and others. Riders can toggle between the different light modes of the SEEKER series within the app to maximise visibility.
