FYI: recording delay
I ran a couple of tests and determined my K6 doesn’t start recording until ~25 seconds after power-on, and keeps recording for ~20 seconds after power-off.
I have missed the starts of a couple of rides because I started moving after the blindspot indicators flashed, but before the camera started recording. 🙁

Hi Christian
The reason the K6 doesn’t start recording immediately as soon as the ignition is turned on is because it needs to boot up the software first. It’s just like a computer; it also needs a little time. Fortunately, it takes about 25 seconds. So take two deep breaths before you start driving and the K6 will be booted up. Turning it off also takes a moment. The ongoing video recording must be closed before the K6 can switch off.
The fact that it takes time to start up and shut down applies to every Innovv camera. -
Hi Christian,
there are two reasons for the delay. The first one is the one Hans already mentioned. The K6 needs some time to boot up. Should be around 10 sec or so.
When used with the K6 power supply, then there is a fixed delay within the power supply itself. If I remeber correctly, this delay is around 15 sec. Some motorbikes cut off power to lights/accessories when the starter button is pressed to avoid overloading the battery. To prevent this from happening right at the moment the K6 boots up, there is this fixed delay.
