INNOVV K3 Edition Motorcycle Dual Front and Rear Back Fitted Motorbike Camera.. Dash Cam. Loop Record. Auto On/Off. Wifi App. External Mic, Remote Display

Product Information

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. The good news is that after speaking with Viofo UK and the Product Manager in China, it looks likely that a firmware update will be deployed that requires the WiFi button to be pressed and held before it activates, which should solve the problem. Camera connections are not marked as front camera and rear camera. It is try and error to see which camera is connected.

As late winter morphed into early spring but with snow, ice and salt-layered roads still intruding into riding time and before INNOVV officially launched the K3, we contented ourselves by exploring the ins and outs of the new K3 Dual-Channel system on the bench and then during a leisurely first installation. 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 Over the years wBW has reviewed many INNOVV products including the original C1, the C3, the first dual-channel K1, its replacement the K2, along with the single-channel C5 (available in motorcycle or helmet mount variants), the Power Hub 1 and 2 systems, and most recently the K5 system.

Daily Use

The new firmware should now be loaded; always verify this via the Settings/System section under the INNOVV App. The INNOVV K3’s fancy remote control is a big improvement of K2, made of durable material. You could save videos, take photos or perform a factory reset by simply pressing the Function Button on remote control, giving your full attention to riding to ensure personal safety.

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. The INNOVV K3 dash cam is designed in a “Fit and Forget” manner, performing an automatic start/stop recording with the ignition on/off. Not worry about manually charging the battery or turning it on and off like using an action camera. Footage is recorded in 1080P 30fps front and rear, though you can opt for 60fps if you drop own to 720P. There is (still) much to be said for the ‘standard’ UHD (1080p) dual-channel systems like the K3 with its center-hub layout providing a system easy to install, easy to configure, ultra-reliable and, more economically priced to boot. The screen snippet below shows a standard Dashcam Viewer screen with both the front and rear (small upper left insert) camera views with mapping and other discrete displays for the decoded data. Recent enhancements to Dashcam Viewer provide direct support for the newest features including the 5Hz GPS (now) used with the K5.I have a 32GB card in, so with each 1 minute TS file taking up 140.3MB of space in the ‘High’ bitrate, you’ll only have just over one hour and 50 minutes of recording time on an empty card before it starts overwriting the earlier files. Now I’ve switched it over to the ‘Maximum’ bitrate, they take up 154.3MB, meaning one hour and 45 minutes on a 32GB card. Parked recordings, those that you trigger yourself by pressing the button when riding (in which case you get a minute-long clip saved to a ‘Protected’ folder, split equally between the time before and after you pressed it), and ‘Accident’ recordings (triggered automatically by a G-force sensor) all take up space that leaves less for the loop recordings; something to keep in mind if you’re relying on a clip still being there by the time you get home. 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.
