Once the system boots up, the Camera LED flashes then goes into one or two rapid-flash sequences (uploading/installing), and once done the system reboots and restarts in its normal sequence with Camera first, then the GPS, and finally the WiFi LED. Time Calibration = ‘Cancel’ to leave the default system (GPS) synchronization or ‘Confirm’ to have the K5 system use smart device time
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. 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. Conclusion 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. 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).
Wrap-Up
Installing the K3 on the motorcycle is almost the same as the K2. No mistake can be made when connecting the connectors. So mounting the k3 on a motorcycle shouldn't be a problem for many users. The necessary mounting material that is supplied also offers various options for mounting the K3. This media is protected and identifiable by the letter ‘G’ added to the ‘F’ and ‘R’ identifier in the file name. This tagged media is not overwritten by any Continuous loop recording.
Ultimately, all the motorcycle dash-cameras I’ve tried are, at their core, quite similar, and there’s certainly room for improvement in the Innovv K3 around the remote control’s legibility, but overall it’s a good way to ensure your bike will capture every metre of road you travel. While I prefer the mounting options on the compact (and cheaper) Viofo MT1, and in my side-by-side comparisons that seems to have the edge in picture quality, the Viofo’s certainly not without its faults, and the Innovv’s addition of parking mode is one that many users will definitely consider well worth the premium. The K3 was developed on the basis of the K2 which is a good dash cam in its own right. Innovv has made a number of useful additions to the K3, such as the remote control and the separate microphone. The INNOVV K3 system components reveal the same detailed high-design approach first observed with the INNOVV K5 kit – everything is well-formed and well-sealed including the access port on the DVR module with strength and robustness evident – important qualities for long term functionality on motorcycles. Overview
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. Don’t expect a motorcycle dash-cam to give the image and audio quality of a GoPro, or offer the polish and premium feel of something like a Nextbase car camera (though it’s taken a while for these to get to that point, and they’re still not always perfect in operation). You’ll also need to supply power to the camera, which can stop it being waterproof, plus be wary that it doesn’t overheat and shut down just when you need it. While unlikely to be a problem on modern devices, it’s best to not push the camera too hard, so avoid using 4K. 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).
Cables are on both sides of the DVR unit. Would be better if all cables are on one side. This gives more options to mount the DVR unit. With the module held logo side up, the only opening or access is the slot on the bottom edge sealed with a silicone insert. This recessed area houses the difficult-to-access TF/SD card media slot and micro-USB port. With no functional controls or visual displays, no other access to the DVR module is needed. 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.
UPDATE DEC 2021: Unfortunately, a year later and there's still no sign of a fix, despite it requiring just a longer press on the WiFi button to activate it, or better still simply giving the option to disable the button altogether, and having WiFi only coming on for a few minutes when the ignition is turned on. If the device stops recording (for instance a corrupt card, which I did suffer after about six months), the green light blinks on and off, which again I find much too subtle. The wider viewing angle of the Viofo when compared to some other cameras means some plates can be smaller in the frame so harder to read, but equally there’s more of the scene captured which could end up being vital. Files also old up fairly well to being enlarged. Newer SanDisk Extreme PRO microSDXC UHS-I 128GB and 256GB pieces, U3 and V30 rated were tried, but neither would be detected by the system, even when formatted externally, whereas the lesser rated media works fine – more to follow if this one is sorted out.
With professionally designed installation kit and detailed installation instruction by INNOVV, it’s easier than you might think to install INNOVV K3 on a bike, ATV, UTV or others. The INNOVV K3 cameras are small enough to be hidden, protecting your INNOVV investment from being stolen. Once installed, they are permanently fitted and hardly noticeable. And although a micro-USB interface sits to the left of the media card storage slot and this interface is supposed to be used for data transfer purposes, making a connection to it using a low or high-speed USB interface is seldom successful, and if the connection is recognized it drops after a few seconds or cycles on/off – not usable. INNOVV is looking into this issue. G-Sensor Slider setting – five sensitivity steps, each with two options, the smaller/less the number of the setting the less sensitive the G-sensor is – this fine-grain adjustability is good for customizing system abilities under different riding/terrain conditionsAll initial configuration settings and ongoing user interactions are provided by the INNOVV App (iOS and Android) that also reflects a greater degree of standardization in providing support for all the INNOVV camera systems and (overall) much-improved reliability.
