Innovv K5 4K Motorcycle Fitted Camera Motorbike Dual Front & Rear/Back Dash Cam NEW for 2021

Product Information

Looking ahead – once the plastic is removed all the component leads will be properly routed under the plastic along frame or sub-frame runs to keep everything out of the way and hidden. Note – some Android devices may present a message like, “This WLAN network has no internet access. Connect anyway?” Just select ‘connect’ and all should be good… And don’t forget that both the network ID name and PW can be changed by the user under the App.

Innovv K5 4K Motorcycle Fitted Camera Motorbike Dual Front

Up front, we need to identify that this review is based on a pre-release version of the coming-to-market INNOVV K5 that is identified as a Dash Cam, but in reality, should be called an “Action Cam” as it designed for and is specifically focused on the powersports market. Cable lengths –in using three different styles of motorcycles for layout, working out median cable runs between (probable) positioning of the module that is both the front camera and the ‘go-to’ point for all component connections reveals that the current lengths can be just adequate or somewhat short, forcing installation compromises (see Change Summary below).

The arrival of this pre-release K5 kit came about a week before the F 900 XR was traded for a 2020 F 850 GS Adventure (Rallye version), so it only seemed right to put the newest INNOVV camera system on the newest member of the home fleet; that’s my story anyway… The DVR/Camera module is likely to remain where it is for now although a higher and more central location between the LED headlight housing and windscreen assembly appears to be a good option but requiring a custom mount of some sort – another activity that INNOVV also has underway. INNOVV K5 Feature Settings & Functionality So, where system interaction, other than just monitoring the visual communications provided by the remote-control visuals or activating the Function Button, is desired or required, the INNOVV App becomes a key system component. As identified earlier, the INNOVV K5 ‘Action Cam’ provided for this review was a pre-release but fully functional version and with the INNOVV K5 Team busy with modifications, updates and tweaks to hardware, firmware and the INNOVV App, a summary of the (known) completed or pending changes for the release version is provided below: If no other interaction with the system is to be done, then the flashing blue of the WiFi indicator can be ignored, otherwise, it’s time to bring the INNOVV App into play (see below).

INNOVV K5 Camera System Install and Review

Initial bench testing did not bring any surprises but did generate positive observations regarding how well fits as a system and works as a system including the almost seamless 2.4Ghz local WiFi connection between the camera and smart device. With this connection made and the INNOVV App launched it makes for a good start. Bit Rate – the (video) sampling Bit Rate (bits transmitted per second) is also selectable: Low, Normal, Height (High) and Maximum – the setting currently used. This setting has more of a resource bill, but (can) provide better overall video capture. Image Stabilization – this observation is more a wish than anything, but in having seen a sustained steady positive evolution of the INNOVV camera products, it seems only natural (at least from my perspective) that at some point, INNOVV will implement some form of image stabilization across the board or for the top-tier camera products; I’m keeping my fingers crossed. ConclusionResolution settings for the front and rear cameras are 1080P at 30FPS or 720P at 60FPS (there are no individual settings for the front and rear cameras). The video compression mode is H.264 and video media can be saved as either MP4 or TS files.

INNOVV continues to tweak or add enhancements to the INNOVV K5 system in preparation for its formal release and as such, a firmware update was anticipated and with the provided link action, now installed (FW IK5_20201204_V05.5hz). The steps below detail the process.

I'm rather behind the times in that respect. My HDTV is a non-"smart" 1080 model, so I use a Roku 3 for streaming. But it is so old it can't handle H.265 video. The TV can't handle AC3 audio, has to be MP3 or other older format. I am very suprised that the K5 4K front camera Houses now all the hardware/plugins… it’s to big / bulkiness to mount it slim on the front of the bike. For what reason? Just to plugin the microphone? The rest worked fine by the K2, 1 central unit placed under the buddyseat. And of course, for the totally custom installation, some or none of the supplied installation components may be needed. Some installations, revealed on the INNOVV Blog and other online sources, identify some very ingenious layouts where the lens modules literally disappear into the motorcycle lines. The system is designed to minimize access to the DVR module and storage media. But this user regularly accesses the media for test and the usual vetting to see what is retained or what is deleted and as such, moving files off en-mass is more expedient than the multi-step process needed between the camera and the host device. GPS Module – the original GPS module found with earlier INNOVV systems tended to be a bit weak receiver-wise and a clear line of sight positioning worked best – as when mounted to the windscreen or another high point on the motorcycle.
