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

Product Information

With the WiFi connection made, launch the INNOVV App. Current INNOVV users will see a familiar splash screen followed by the main interface or tile screen using another familiar layout. But from this point on, depending on the camera system in use, screen layout and sub-menus vary for the connected system – one-stop shopping as they say. A long-term favourite is Dashcam Viewer by Earthshine Software. Available in three flavours – Free, Standard or Pro. The Free version provides a basic feature-set that is then built upon for the Standard and Pro versions. Remote Control (RC) Module – a small, sealed box housing with integrated cable and 6-pin (M) waterproof connector. The face of the RC has a stylized 3-LED display in the top half for the Recording, GPS, and WiFi functions with a Function Button sitting below the LEDs.

[REVIEW] INNOVV K5 Camera System - webBikeWorld

And FWIW, these Extreme PRO pieces work fine in the INNOVV K5 systems and the SENA 10C EVO-01 that is under wBW review- go figure. Photos If some devices experience difficulties in discovering the K5 LAN ID, try putting the device into Airplane or Travel mode to restrict external or internet connectivity and then turn on (just) the WiFi – the K5 LAN ID should appear and be connectable. This approach also works well with the VIOFO MT1 system. 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). A big contributor to the excellent coverage provided by the K3 system, no matter how much or how little light there is, goes to the Sony IMX sensors found in both camera lenses to provide high sensitivity, high-speed imaging, and high dynamic range performance for sustained image quality. In not knowing if the INNOVV K5 has or will have WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) or EV (Exposure Value) features with user-selectable settings, as found and used to good effect with another dual channel camera system recently reviewed, it seems the INNOVV K5, even with its front camera versatility is or could be at some disadvantage here.

Accident – during normal use of the K5 system and if a median setting for the G-Sensor sliding scale has been done, a significant fall or impact as might occur during an accident of some sort activates this mode with ongoing loop video saved to the Accident Folder. Media in this folder is protected and identifiable by the letter ‘G’ added to the ‘F’ and ‘R’ identifier in the file name. Media in this folder is protected and cannot be overwritten by any Continuous loop recording. Media in this folder is protected and identifiable by a ‘P’ added to the ‘F’ or ‘R’ identifier in the file name. This media is not overwritten by any Continuous loop recording. The INNOVV K3 Dash or Action Camera is a most worthy successor to the original K2 that while being a bit long in the tooth (a relative statement) has a large loyal following that includes this decades-long rider with one of them in use and the other currently far (far) away on a longer adventure but still doing what it is designed to do – work. External Microphone – an omnidirectional mini-microphone with a small removable clip on a long 2m (6.5ft) cable and waterproof connector. The whole assembly is right-sized for tank bag, collar, or helmet strap use or for securing inside the helmet (chin guard area).

Resolution 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. Pass 1 – load this SD media card into the K5 DVR, power the system and let it run for two minutes or so, then turn the system off Another solution is to make these USB-enabled options available as a separate or multi-purpose cable (as used for the external microphone) allowing a direct connection to a USB power source to power the module and, make a direct data connection, without having to directly access the system. This grouping isn’t tidy, but it is functional and accessible. A large section of 2-inch heat shrink and a couple of zip ties keep this bundle together and secured, with the WiFi antenna housing on its short thin cable sitting by itself, nestled between the bundle and side plastic.

DVR Module/Front Lens – the front lens or camera is integrated into the front of the DVR module housing. The lens is not rotatable, but orientation can be flipped 180 degrees using the ‘Settings’ access on the INNOVV App to accommodate module placement and orientation. Now on the WIFI receiver, we have a relatively short pigtail to work with there and I know the purpose for that is obviously it needs to be out in the open that can’t be hidden behind bodywork or anywhere it wouldn’t do its job. The one thing that I would point out on the remote control button is that beveled edge depending on the position of the button, and how you align it to where you sit. I can catch a lot of light so I did end up just coloring around the edge of that bevel. And if I had it to install again I probably would take that into consideration when I was placing it, looks super sharp and it’s just probably a half an hour a day that it happens to catch the light just right, so one thing to maybe take into consideration when you’re thinking about where to put that button. Recorded media on the K3 storage card is viewable by selecting the Camera Files screen and selecting the desired folder (Continuous Videos, Parking Videos, Accident Videos or Protected Videos or Photo)

Support Up To 512GB: The INNOVV K5 supports a large 512GB microSD memory card capacity to enable longer recording times, which is 3 times more storage capabilities of most 128GB capacity dash cams on the market. Protected (User Intervention) – if the user pushes the Function Button on the remote control during normal use of the K3 system, the ongoing loop video (loop-time contingent) is saved to the Protected Folder and a small Green ‘P’ icon appears on the live view screen to show that this mode is active and, the Camera LED on the remote control goes into a double-flash mode. As the replacement for the venerable INNOVV K2 dual-channel system, the new K3 dual-channel 1080P system is not just newer but also better. Bench Testing – didn’t bring any surprises, but it did generate a number of positive observations regarding how well the system goes together and works together as a system; and the WiFi local network connectivity works first time, all the time. With this connection made, the INNOVV App is launched for the first look at everything via the user interface. Installation Assessment & First Hosting

The resulting video reveals better stability and less vibration or bouncing even on gravel/dirt surfaces, but more testing is needed regarding suitability for prolonged off-road use, especially as there no (apparent) stabilization feature (yet) installed. The INNOVV K5 with its higher resolution media capabilities and more extensive feature set is undoubtedly the upscale product but it is also 100.00 USD more than the K3 system. Depending on the point or points of view desired, front/rear or otherwise, many users will go for a more central mounting point (low-profile or otherwise), and all good if the motorcycle components allow. There is no doubt that the K5 is innovative and it is obviously different, at least when compared to the current INNOVV K2 product, and not just because it uses a 4K front camera but also because the 4K front lens is actually integrated with the DVR module.

My TV i got rid off was also not smart, not invented in 2008 when i got it ( as my first ever TV ) but its build in player actually supported a range of formats, even ones often associated with pirate stuff. The 120-degree lenses do introduce some distortion, but it is less than experienced with the even-wider field of view systems; this is a good median setting. Overall distortion is minimal especially over the longer deeper views and the cameras provide outstanding focus regarding close-up or in-traffic coverage, no matter the lighting conditions. Making the K3 Connections – all the component cables are pretty much out of sight once any removed plastic is reinstalled or low-profile in being routed along and secured to the frame so there is no chance of anything being caught up in anything else or impacted by heat, etc. With the ignition turned on and power supplied to the K3 system there is a programmed delay after which the Camera icon comes alive, and after some flashes go solid indicating that recording is underway – it’s that simple and all within ten seconds or so. 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.With a new riding season (wherever you are), new and updated motorcycles and, a whole lot of new products, the motorcycle market is hopping; now if we could only get the demand and supply issues balanced…patience is needed. 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.
