Yes, integration of the front 4K camera into the DVR module, which is also the main interface for system components will necessitate a slightly different approach to how the system is laid out; but, INNOVV has now addressed virtually all the early concerns raised and made changes to mitigate the installation observations.
The K5 records a ton of video in a looping format—up to 512 GB on the (purchased separately) SD card—with a 120-degree view. In usually sticking with 1, or 3 min loops and only using longer loops for road use, downloads just take seconds. I started using a helmet cam while commuting to work in SoCal years ago after a car tried to run me off the road simply because I was splitting lanes (legal in California), and he didn’t want to be passed.
Power Supply Module – a small, sealed power 12V/5V DC management module like the one used for other INNOVV systems.
The brand new INNOVV K5 Powersports Cam is packed with versatile features that no simple ‘action camera’ offers. 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. Once installed, however, everything was neatly tucked away and only the most astute observers will be likely to notice the camera’s. With the front camera recording in 4K Ultra HD and the rear camera recording in 1080p you will have a crystal clear record of your ride. 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.The intention is to display ads that are relevant and engaging for the individual user and thereby more valuable for publishers and third party advertisers. 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.
The brand new INNOVV K5 dash cam is packed with versatile features that no simple 'action camera' offers. While a higher and perhaps more centred placement is better for many reasons, an often-used side mounting point just below the left signal light provides a suitable initial mounting spot, with a longer M5 x 25mm screw replacing the OE M5 x 16mm piece and a 5mm spacer used for clearance between the plastic and the small L-bracket from the kit. Continuous – this is the normal or default recording mode that is activated when the system is powered up with front and back video recorded per the default or user-selected resolution combination (of eight) and default or user-selected time loop. Rear Camera – the included bag of mounting pieces provides lots of options for securely mounting the lightweight rear camera using two main approaches, both well described and visualized under the Installation Guide section of the K5 foldable handout; these solutions work very well for C5 and K2 components and now, for the K5 installation.The first unit I was sent had a faulty power unit so the bike's electricity wasn't being sent to the camera unit. This wouldn't be an issue but they are made from plastic with metal screw collars to hold them in place.
Additional comments regarding settings and other amplifying information is also provided in the respective sections below. 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. With this level of customization, you can achieve the perfect position and angle, ensuring recording experience that is uniquely tailored to your preferences. It is fairly basic, which is fine, but there are buttons which don't seem to do anything (F, R, F/R and R/F) - they look like filters to preview the relevant front, rear, front/rear or rear/front camera, but they don't actually do anything.Having a full-time front-and-rear camera recording while you’re riding your motorcycle could pay off big-time if you’re ever involved in an accident. 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. On the pre-release modules, the top or logo side is set into the frame and sealed with screws but the updated module to be used with the release version is now one piece for an even stronger housing and even less chance of any moisture egress at any point. The pre-release unit provides 1Hz (once/sec sampling), but the new module to be used for the K5 Release kits will have 1 to 5Hz settings for higher resolution tracking if the user so desires.
