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.
Premium Quality, Fit and forget Motorcycle Cameras
This video is saved to the DCIM/Movie Folder with the letters ‘F’ and ‘R’ used in the file name to identify front and rear media files. Media stored in this folder is not protected, meaning that the oldest files will be overwritten as space is required for ongoing video recordings. 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. While overall video quality ranges from excellent to very good under virtually any conditions (lighting, terrain, and weather) with few capture or, image issues seen, image stabilization of some sort would be a real bonus and a really good thing for INNOVV to implement; I suspect (hope) that it is indeed being worked on… It is important to correctly connect the DC converter/smart power supply so that when the Parking Mode feature under the INNOVV App is enabled the system provides 24/7 protection even when the motorcycle is not running. The smart power supply triggers parking mode automatically, with the K3 ‘waking up’ and recording when an impact or motion is detected by the (activated) G-sensor.

Note – a small Blue LED provides an “always-on” indication that the 5.3V supply is good. As this power module is switched, the parasitic drain should not and has not been an issue; INNOVV would have a minimum voltage shutoff threshold as well – it’s just not identified. 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. 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 This is the fourth F850GS-based model in the home fleet since their release and along with their outstanding ADV travel versatility, they make great accessory platforms, especially for test purposes where change is indeed a constant; they have lots of usable space under the seat and a few minutes spent in removing the primary plastic pieces provides full access for installations.Dat a I n t e r f a ce M i c r o U S B V olt a g e I n p u t 5 . 0 V ± 0 . 5 V V id e o f o rm at M P 4 / TS Dim e nsi o n 52 * 4 8 * 2 2 mm ( It i s i n t eg r a t ed w i t h D V R ) S t r uc t u r e 7 G + 1 I R F ield o f V ie w ( F O V ) 120 ° A p e r t u r e F 1 . 8 M a x i m u m Res o luti o n 4 K @ 3 0 F P S Nu m b e r o f Eff e cti v e P i x els 3864 ( H ) × 2192 ( V ) , app r o x . 8 . 46 m egap i x e l s L e n g t h o f V i d e o Ca b le W i t h D V R Dim e nsi o n Di a 25 * 53 . 3 m m S t r uc t u r e 6 G + 1 I R F ield o f V ie w ( F O V ) 120 ° A p e r t u r e F 1 . 8 M a x i m u m Res o luti o n 1080 P @ 3 0 F P S Nu m b e r o f Eff e cti v e P i x els 1945 ( H ) × 1097 ( V ) , app r o x . 2 . 13 m egap i x e l s L e n g t h o f V i d e o Ca b le 3 . 0 M e t e r / 9 . 84 F e e t I n p u t 9 - 18 V O u t p ut 5 . 0 V ± 0 . 2 V M a x Cu r r e n t 2 A Co n v e r t e r D V R G P S Y e s Ca m e r a Ca m e r a F r o n t C a m e r a Re a r Ca m e r a H . 26 4 W a t e r p r o o f I P 6 7 W o r kin g T e m p e r a t u r e - 3 0 Some are now using TV as a combi TV and PC monitor + console if thats how you play, after TV hit the ability to do 120 Hz and variable refresh rate that have been a option, and not forgetting low latency for the input.
K5 Review / Comparison to K2 | innovv K5 Review / Comparison to K2 | innovv
The first question is easily answered – a product like the INNOVV K5 might wear the ‘dash cam’ label, but in reality, these systems provide an excellent return on the investment as they have so many useful (and valuable) applications whether capturing the traffic/road environment, providing a hi-resolution (almost 360) video travelogue or anything in between – “Action Cam” is a much better moniker…Time Calibration = ‘Cancel’ to leave the default system (GPS) synchronization or ‘Confirm’ to have the K5 system use smart device time
