From a rear lens perspective, video from either the 1080P @ 30FPS or 720P @ 60FPS resolution settings is also excellent – far better than the K2 units and, better than the fixed 1080P @ 30FPS of two other systems here.
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 It would be great to have a 90-degree interval setting, but this would involve redesign and resizing of the module to accommodate everything, but one could hope. Recording Settings (including User Selectable Data):Microphone volume settings – OFF or 20/40/60/80/100% are provided, this is a dynamic change feature although it does not ‘save’ any change and reverts to default (20) on the next startup (firmware fix needed here)
Recording (Protected) Mode –in not (yet) having done a detailed time analysis between recorded media saved to the separate folders, an outstanding question regarding Protected Mode concerns whether only the current loop video is saved off or if both the last and current loops are saved off or if some overlap or bridging time is added. The new INNOVV App is for all INNOVV products including the current C5 and K2 models, the pending K5 and models soon to be released. The App is available for iOS and Android. iOS users with other devices (like the iPAD Mini 4 here) may need to select the ‘iPhone’ compatible category to get the INNOVV App listed. One could ask: (a) does a ‘dash cam’ really need this video resolution; and, (b) is the larger form-factor integration going to be as easily installable compared to the typical small lens component as used for the K2 and C5.
Premium Quality, Fit and forget Motorcycle Cameras
x K5 DVR module with integrated front lens/camera, five integrated flying lead cables with keyed colour-coded multi-pin M/F waterproof connectors and WiFi antenna housing I tried several different mounting positions for the front camera. We have a lot of wire on the system which is great because it gives you a lot of different potential mounting locations. it also with that the super wide-angle on the front camera. I really wanted to take advantage of that. 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. And so far, using the pre-release INNOVV K5 system remains a positive experience and it seems the INNOVV team is well along the way in finalizing the K5 and readying it for a formal release. Camera Resolution Settings
The adaptation or compensation differences between the WDR and EV features of the other system when viewing video recorded on both systems travelling over the same terrain in almost exactly the same weather condition is most telling; the other camera shows virtually no transitions whereas the K5 copes, but the video is darker. The Collective – as this is the ‘temporary’ mounting, the connection bundle comprising the five flying leads from the DVR module and the incoming rear camera, GPS, RC and power supply cables all come in from their (temporary) external runs, congregating between the upper front side panel plastic and the outer shape of the left side windscreen spoiler. And its seldom that these camera systems don’t have externally accessed media storage and some form of USB interface – an interface that is capable of providing not just the data interface but the standard voltage required to power the module, so the system’s WiFi feature is usable without having the ignition on or the motorcycle running.I had the space on my dash to have more than one component here. So, you can see where I’ve installed the rear-facing camera, just slightly at an angle so I get some of what’s going on the road around me as well as myself. I also put the GPS on top of the dash there. So that it would have a good clear view of the sky, and I’ve put the control button as well. Now, I was wondering if the lights on the control button would bother me being relatively directly in my line of sight, there they don’t at all, even when they’re flashing when they’re telling me my memory card is full. It’s nice just light enough led on there to let you know at a glance but it is not obnoxious or distracting.
The single channel multi-purpose and very adaptable C5 in two variants and the dual channel K2 systems have been the flagship video products from INNOVV for a couple of years now. But ‘INNOVV’ is derived from ‘Innovate’ so it was only logical that evolution of one or both flagship systems would occur or, something new is in the works. Both temporary and permanent mounting observations are made in the following paragraphs based on the fact that once the riding season ends up here other accessory work on the table (literally) will be undertaken with multiple electronic systems awaiting installation; the newest ride is a true work in progress…wBW has, over the years, reviewed virtually everything marketed by INNOVV and I have been fortunate enough to do many of them, including the original INNOVV K1, its replacement the K2, the single channel C5 system and the Power Hub variants. If interaction with the system is the norm, users should familiarize themselves with all the features and their respective settings available with the user interface App. And it is also good to remember that some settings are dynamic (the system updates immediately) whereas other setting changes do not take effect until the K5 is restarted.
