SR4 Max - Dashcam & Wi-Fi Setup

The SR4 Max ships with a built-in driving recorder - a forward-facing camera with Wi-Fi connectivity to a phone app. This guide covers the setup from a fresh bike to recording on day one, plus the daily use patterns that matter (locking emergency clips, retrieving footage, keeping the SD card from filling up).

Source. Procedure transcribed from the SR4 Max owner manual (Voge / Loncin), “Driving recorder” section. The bike’s official documentation calls it a “driving recorder”; everywhere else it’s called a dashcam. Same thing.

What’s in the box

The bike comes with the camera and Wi-Fi module pre-installed. You provide:

• A Micro SD (TF) card, Class 10 or faster, up to 128 GB.
• A phone with the Boshi Technology app (Android or iOS, free, scan the QR code in the bike’s instrument panel).

The SD card slot is in the front luggage case on the right side of the bike, under the handlebar fairing. It’s accessed without tools, but the case has a latch that takes a moment to find the first time.

The factory delivery has a front-only camera. A rear camera is available as an accessory; the app supports front/rear switching once both are installed.

Storage prep

Before pairing, format the SD card via the app - even a fresh card from the shop. The dashcam writes a custom directory structure that Voge’s firmware expects.

A few practical numbers from the manual:

• Recording bitrate: ~80 MB per minute of video.
• A 64 GB card holds approximately 13 hours of continuous loop recording.
• A 128 GB card holds approximately 27 hours - about a full week of commutes.
• The recorder uses loop recording - when the card is full, new footage overwrites the oldest non-emergency video.

If you want to preserve a specific clip (an interesting bit of road, a near-miss, an incident), use the emergency lock function described below - locked clips don’t get overwritten.

First-time setup

1 - Insert the SD card

Bike off, ignition removed. Open the right front luggage case latch, locate the SD slot. Push the card in until it clicks. Close the case.

2 - Power on

Turn the ignition to position II (on, engine off is fine). The recorder boots within a few seconds. The TFT instrument shows a small driving recorder indicator when the system is running.

3 - Read the bike’s Wi-Fi credentials

The TFT will display:

• SSID: wifi_camera_xxx or MT68_XXXX (depending on hardware revision)
• Password: 12345678

These are the bike’s hotspot credentials, not yours. The bike broadcasts the Wi-Fi; your phone connects to it.

4 - Install the Boshi Technology app

Scan the QR code shown on the TFT instrument with your phone’s camera. The QR code links to:

• Android: Google Play store page for Boshi Technology
• iOS: App Store page

Install. The app is free.

5 - Connect your phone to the bike’s Wi-Fi

On your phone:

• Open Wi-Fi settings.
• Find the network with the SSID shown on the TFT (wifi_camera_xxx or MT68_XXXX).
• Tap to connect.
• Password: 12345678.

Your phone may warn that this network has no internet access - that’s expected. Tap “use anyway” or your phone’s equivalent.

6 - Open the Boshi Technology app

When the phone connects to the bike’s Wi-Fi, open the Boshi Technology app. The app discovers the camera automatically and enters preview mode - a live feed of what the camera sees.

When the app is connected to the camera, the Wi-Fi icon on the bike’s TFT turns green. That’s the confirmation everything is working.

7 - Format the card (first use only)

In the app:

• Go to Setup → Storage (or equivalent - UI labels vary by app version).
• Select Format SD Card.
• Confirm. This wipes the card and writes the directory structure the dashcam expects.

The bike will warn you if you skip this step the first time you insert a new card - but the recorder won’t actually start writing until you format.

Daily use

Once paired, the recorder runs automatically whenever the ignition is on. You don’t need the app connected for the camera to record - it records to the SD card autonomously. The app is for reviewing footage and changing settings.

The dashboard side has these controls:

• Snapping key (photo button on the handlebar) - captures a still image to the SD card.
• Start / stop recording - handlebar button. Manual override; recording defaults to on.
• Front / rear camera switch - only relevant if you’ve added the rear camera accessory.

The app side has:

• Preview - live feed.
• Loop video - list of normal recordings, oldest at the bottom (will be overwritten first).
• Emergency video - list of locked recordings.
• Photos - list of stills captured by the snapping key.
• Downloaded - clips you’ve saved to your phone.

To keep a clip:

1. In Loop video, tap the clip you want.
2. Long-press to bring up the action menu.
3. Choose Download to copy it to your phone (and to the Downloaded section in the app - this also locks it on the SD).

Or while recording, hit the emergency lock button (look for it in the snapping key cluster - manual references this without precise location). This flags the current clip as protected; it gets moved to Emergency video and won’t be overwritten by the loop.

Common issues & tips

App won’t connect

• Phone says it connected to Wi-Fi but the app shows “no camera found”: disconnect from any other Wi-Fi network first (including mobile hotspot). The phone needs to commit to the bike’s hotspot exclusively for the app handshake to work.
• Phone keeps switching back to your home Wi-Fi: turn off automatic Wi-Fi switching, or tell your phone to “forget” home Wi-Fi temporarily.
• iOS specifically: Settings → Boshi Technology → Local Network must be enabled.
• Android: location permission must be granted to the app (some Android versions tie Wi-Fi scanning to location).

Card fills up too fast

Default recording is continuous and high-bitrate. If you want to stretch storage:

• Lower the recording resolution in app settings (1080p → 720p halves storage).
• Disable photo capture if you never use it (each photo is ~3 MB, but more importantly the app sometimes captures unintended frames).
• Don’t lock everything to emergency - locked clips don’t get overwritten, so emergency is the only category that can fill the card permanently.

Card not recognized after a bike-off

The dashcam sometimes doesn’t see the SD on cold start. Workaround:

1. Turn ignition off.
2. Open the front case, eject and re-insert the SD card.
3. Turn ignition on. Recorder should pick it up.

If this happens often, the card is likely failing - buy a fresh Class 10 card. Don’t cheap out; the dashcam writes constantly and consumer cards die early under that load.

Privacy & local laws

Dashcams are legal across most of the EU, UK, US, and AU/NZ for personal use, but:

• Some jurisdictions restrict windscreen / dash-mounted cameras (notably parts of Germany, Switzerland, and Austria for in-car cameras). On a motorcycle, the camera is typically considered part of the bike rather than a phone-style device, but verify your local law before relying on footage in court.
• If you publish footage online, blur licence plates and faces.
• The rear-camera accessory requires more careful aiming on a motorcycle - point it at the road, not your pillion.

Replacing the camera

The factory unit is OEM and not user-serviceable in any meaningful sense. If it dies, your dealer replaces the module. Aftermarket dashcams that integrate with the bike’s TFT don’t currently exist - you’d be running a separate self-contained unit.

What this guide doesn’t cover

• Streaming - the dashcam doesn’t stream live to the cloud. It’s local-storage only.
• GPS overlay on footage - the manual doesn’t reference a GPS module. If your unit has one (newer revisions might), the app should expose it; treat as model-revision-dependent.
• Voice annotations - not a feature on the SR4 Max recorder.
• Connecting two phones at once - only one app session at a time.
