Cameras for N1 vs K3

[Hans]

Hi Phillip,
The cameras of the N1 and the K3 have different connectors. These will probably not fit together.
In addition, the CMOS (heart of the camera) is also different. I suspect that you cannot interchange them. The K3 CMOS is a Sony Starvis 291. The N1 has a Sony Starvis IMX307.
So you will have to Google yourself whether these are technically interchangeable. Whether the firmware of the N1 is suitable for this….. I suspect not.

Your assessment is accurate; though the N1/N1-Pro have a published max resolution (somewhat misleading as it is the only option) they are currently hardcoded to work at the specific resolutions/fps of the included cams and cannot dynamically or manually adjust to a different camera feed. I attempted to attach my FLIR camera to it (because I presumed they would support lower resolution options as the K series did). After many frustrating hours (assuming I had messed up my custom wiring), I confirmed with support that the N series currently only supports the specific parameters of the included cameras.

Thanks for the reply. I figured there were positive changes in the N1 vs. the K3 so I will just drag a pull string through when I install the N1 on the Can-Am. The Can-Am is very packed under the handlebar area and one needs small hands to get in there. Have a safe and Happy New Year.

Hi Phil,
Good luck with the installation of the N1.
If the installation is successful, could you post some pictures? This might help other Cam-Am Spider drivers install their N1.

Have fun with your N1.

Will do. The Can-Am is easy to work on but there are some tight spots that hands don’t really fit. LOL

OK, Indiana weather finally cooperated to install this N1. I like it, wish there was a way to remove the head for overnight outside but hopefully a cover deters. I will post pictures in a few days. I’m trying to figure it out.
