Newbie Questions & Feature Requests

Hi PFM,

What do you mean by telemetry data? If you mean GPS data, then this is already included in the recordings by default.
The system is designed for two cameras, so a disconnected camera is not taken into account. You could also place the camera you are not using somewhere out of sight. If you do not connect a camera, you will also need to seal the open connector against moisture and dirt.

You can connect your laptop to your K7; find the Wi-Fi network of your K7 and then connect it using the K7’s password. It takes a bit of searching to find which IP address to enter in your web browser (the IP address of the default gateway, but I’m not sure about that). You can then access the video files via the web browser. It is and remains not really user-friendly.
Another disadvantage is that you still have to leave the motorcycle’s ignition on to maintain the connection. So that affects your battery voltage. The fastest way to download the videos is still to put the SD card in your computer.

I don’t understand what you mean by ‘I set the light to flashing’. Have you read the manual for the remote control? It explains how to take a photo and how to secure a video. Video files are automatically overwritten when the SD card is full and you have selected a time under ‘Loop Recording Duration’. The files are overwritten based on FIFO (First in, first out). This means the oldest recording is overwritten to make room for a new recording. If no time is set for Loop Duration Recording, it is possible that you will receive recordings of 12 minutes. When the SD card is full, no new recordings will be saved.

You can delete a protected recording by formatting the SD card using the Innovv app. Alternatively, you can insert the SD card into your computer and delete the files that way.

GPS data is processed in the video. You can also view this GPS data with DashCam viewer.

Thanks.

By telemetry, I meant GPS (and the other onscreen text overlays.) It would be nice to be able to record without and then download it later with or without that overlay.

Can it overlay the speed or altitude? Are these available in the metadata in the .TS files?

I do think it would be nice to operate with 1 camera. I will be doing this temporarily until I can fabricate and install the mount for the rear camera in my application. In the meantime, I can run it with the 2nd camera stashed securely and safely.

It would be nice to have the device available on the home network, would be cool if it could auto sync with a NAS. I’ll figure out transferring the video. Laptop via wifi should be good. (my central unit will be tucked away and not quick to access.

I’ve been through the Manual (mine is misprinted vs what you attached above). When I double press the button, more often than not, The Movie LED flashes constantly. I’m either pressing it too quick or too slow.

Is there a way to turn off Protected Video if it has been activated by a miss-double press button to take a photo? When does it stop being protected?

Can I take a photo during playback (same quality as from live?)

Good tip on looping. I now understand that with loop off, it records 12min videos and stops when the space is full. I’ll turn on looping for sure. What are the pros and cons of a shorter loop duration vs a longer one? Roughly how many minutes of recording can I store on my 512GB card?

This is a really well thought out great product. I am looking fwd to actually using it. I hope to have it front camera set up before a trip in early July.

Hi,

You can turn off the overlay using the Innovv app, so it is no longer visible on screen. The GPS data will still be stored in the metadata of the video files. Unfortunately, only the ‘Watermark text’ cannot be turned off.
You can also keep all data visible on screen and later use video editing software to crop the image so that it is no longer visible. I think this is easier than adding the data back on screen later if you want it to be visible again.

It might take some practice with the button to figure out how fast you need to press it. Also, keep in mind that with motorcycle gloves on, it is not always easy to feel if you have pressed the button.

While playing a recorded video, you can no longer take photos in the same resolution. You would then have to take a screenshot or get to work with video editing software.

Loop recording duration. The length is a matter of personal preference. I have mine set to 3 minutes. A shorter length also results in a shorter download time. With a longer recording time, you will see fewer thumbnails in the app and the overview may be clearer, but downloading a recording will also take longer.

Note that when you make a protected recording, only the current recording is protected. So, if you press the button to protect just in the last second of a current recording, the next recording will no longer be recorded as a protected video.

It is not possible to remove the protection from a recorded video that has been saved as a protected video.

Since there is plenty of space on a 512GB SD card, you do not need to worry about protected recordings taking up space. In practice, it will turn out that you will not use the protected video function very often.

To calculate how many recordings you can make: Make a recording in the highest resolution and bitrate. Then you will know how large these files will be. A file is created for both the front and rear cameras. Add the size of these two files together. Divide the SD card size by this number and then multiply it by the time you set for loop recording duration. This will give you approximately the maximum number of minutes you can record.

Excellent, thank you.

I’ll try all of this and get used to the quirks and behaviors.
