    Hi. I have just installed the K6 system on my BMW CE-04. It seems to be working well. I am looking for tips on how to make the videos download from the Innovv app to my phone more quickly. I realize that removing the memory card and connecting it to a computer is the fastest option, but removing the screws from the camera in order to remove the card is very inconvenient.

    When I am downloading the videos to my phone using the app, it seems like the camera is also recording while that is happening. Would it go faster if the camera was not recording during the downloads, and if so, how do I get the recording to stop before i begin the downloads?

    Other random questions:

    What is meant by “Wi-Fi Active Duration” in the settings?

    What does “Gravity Sensor” do, in the settings?

    Is there a way to capture a still photo by just pressing the camera button, or can still photos only be captured by using the app?

    Is there a way to tell what version of Firmware my camera is currently using? Related: When was the most recent version of the K6 Firmware released? (Trying to avoid going through the update process if I don’t really need to).

    Thank you!

    Hi Butch,
    Unfortunately, the K6’s Wi-Fi connection isn’t super fast. The fastest way to download videos is and remains reading the SD card using the computer. Be sure to format the SD card afterwards using the Innovv app. It can sometimes happen that an SD card that has been read is no longer properly recognized by the K6.
    The camera does not record while downloading.
    Wi-Fi Active Duration: This sets how long the Wi-Fi module remains active. Wi-Fi is switched off after the set time.
    Gravity Sensor: This sets the sensitivity for accident recording. So, in the event of a hard shock/tap/vibration, the ongoing recording will be protected against overwriting.
    Taking a photo: I believe this involves briefly pressing the button. But you will have to test that out yourself.
    The firmware version of the K6 is listed in the app under settings at the bottom. See also the manual.
    The latest firmware version is IK6.20231107.V1.0.01
