k7 camera not working

Posted by TEGLAS on 2026-08-26 at 13:24
Hello. I bought a k7 camera from you. For some time now I have noticed that on the screen in the application it only shows me the front camera even if I try to change it or show my front camera and rear camera. The rear camera does not record at all. On the remote control where the camera appears, the green icon flickers. The footage that is stored on the card is only a few seconds to a minute and then it stops. What can I do with it? It is not even 1 year old since it was purchased and I have only had problems with it. I checked the yellow wire, it’s ok, I changed the memory card, I

Hi Teglas,

If the problem moves from the back to the front when swapping the front and rear cameras, the camera in question is defective.
If the problem persists at the rear despite swapping the camera, the issue must be sought with the DVR or cabling. Is the cabling undamaged and are the connectors still intact, clean, and dry?
The blinking of the green LED can have different meanings, depending on how long and how fast the LED blinks; please also refer to the manual.
Does the SD card meet the specifications as stated by Innovv, with write speeds higher than U1?
Did you also format the SD card using the app?

  in the application no matter which one I set, only the front camera is visible. I checked the plugs, everything is ok, tight, clean and dry. the SD card is U3 V30, especially for cameras like this. I formatted the card and it does the same thing. I changed the card and the same problem. It initially records for a few seconds on the front camera and then stops. every time you start the engine it records for a few seconds then stops

Hi Teglas,
If, despite swapping the (physical) cameras, the problem can be traced back to the DVR.
Regarding formatting the SD card, did you do that using the Innovv app or a computer? Formatting is best done using the app. Problems can sometimes arise with a card formatted using a computer as well.
Is the power supply voltage still sufficient after starting? An engine running at idle sometimes has (too) low voltage. The voltage only increases when you rev it up.
To ensure the firmware isn’t causing any issues, you can re-flash it.
Should the problem persist despite everything, you can claim it from the seller of the K7 if the K7 is still under warranty.

      I don’t understand what TF card you are talking about from 8 to 32 gb? I use a 256 gb SD card

      I copied IN-K7-1.bin which I need to put on my SD card and insert into the DVR.

Flashing the firmware can only be done using an SD card with a storage capacity between 8 and 32GB.

Flashing with an SD card larger than 32GB may cause problems, or the flashing may not be performed at all.

  It’s a bit crazy to have to buy x cards of different sizes to be able to use a system paid for with 300 euros.

    Fortunately, those small SD cards are not expensive😉.
    
    A small card is necessary due to the required file system, FAT32. This is because NTFS and exFAT are not suitable for flashing the firmware.
    
    And you can still claim the K7 under warranty if the warranty is still valid.

Hi Innovv and Teglas,
Good to hear that a solution is on the way.
Teglas, I hope everything works out and you can get back on the road with a functioning K7. I’d like to hear how it all turns out.

Hi Teglas,
Did you buy the K7 directly from Innovv or through another seller?

@INNOVV , if Teglas bought the K7 directly from you, is there anything you can do for him?

Hi Teglas,
It’s a shame things have turned out this way.
I’m not an Innovv employee myself, so I have limited influence over them. It’s currently the holiday season in China, so a reply might take a bit longer than usual.
It’s also unfortunate that you’ve had a bad experience with Innovv; given the number of users who operate the cameras without issues, I can say with confidence that the quality is certainly not questionable. But I realize that doesn’t help you much…

I hope Innovv responds properly to your emails and provides the level of service you’re entitled to expect.

Dear customer,

We are sorry for the inconvenience caused to you.

We replied to your email on October 1, but it appears you did not receive it.

Original email text:

Dear customer,

We are sorry for the inconvenience caused to you.

We didn’t immediately conclude that the connector was faulty.

We need to troubleshoot step by step to determine whether the problem is caused by the camera or the DVR before we can arrange repair or replacement.

If you don’t want to send it back for repair, we will ship a DVR and a rear camera to your order address. Is that okay?

Is the rear camera 1 meter or 1.5 meters?

Looking forward to your reply.

Have a good day!

Best Regards,

INNOVV

Okay, send the DVR and the rear camera, and let’s hope the problem gets resolved. Same address

The current rear camera is 2 meters, but 1.5 meters is also fine.
