SD card

[Hans]

Hi Stephen,
Can you give more info about:

• Type of SD card, which class etc?
• Have you formatted the SD cards using the Innovv app?
• What indications do the LEDs on the remote control give?
• Have you connected the yellow switch wire correctly?
• Have you also checked whether there are recordings in accident/protected recordings?
• And more….?

In short, the more info you can give, the better we can hopefully help you. At the moment, the information you have given is quite brief.

I format the card on my laptop. The cards is V2 u3 V30

All of the lights are illuminated on the controls.

The yellow wire is connected via a thunder box.

There’s no accident /protected clips, I’ve never used that option.

Hi Stephen,
Are you reading the card using the Innovv app, or with a computer?
Always format the SD card using the Innovv app in the camera. Formatting using a computer does not always work properly. An SD card formatted with a computer is not always recognized properly by an Innovv camera.
Check whether the yellow wire is receiving a good control voltage. I have read too often on the forum that Thunder Box, Hex EZcan and similar accessory connection boxes cause problems. For example, connect the yellow wire to your license plate lighting.
Also check all connectors, wiring and power supply. Because it is strange that it records when stationary and not when moving.

Hi, how do I check the yellow wire is receiving a good signal? What colour is the brake light feed?

A San disk 256gb V2, V30 U3 should be a good enough card to use.

Hi Stephen,
With a voltmeter you can measure what a switched power supply is.
I would not use the power cable at your brake light. Then your K7 will only turn on when you use your brake. You must use a switched power supply that is switched with your ignition.
Your motorcycle dealer/garage can tell you which cable to use. The colors differ per motorcycle brand.

The SD card should be fine.

Hi, I have changed the SD card and connected the yellow wire directly to the bike’s battery positive terminal. By doing this, I’m presuming if the bike gets knocked the cameras will start to record?

[Hans]

Hi Stephen,
As described in the manual, the yellow wire should be connected to a switched-mode power supply. This yellow wire is the control wire that turns the K7 on and off.
If you want to record video when the motorcycle is knocked over, you need to turn on the Parking Monitor using the app. The battery voltage must also be sufficient. If the battery voltage is too low, the Parking Monitor will not function.

I’ve put a decent SD card in the DVR, I’ll try it the next time I’m out.

I connected the yellow wire to the positive battery terminal and it doesn’t record when you skake the bike.

Someone sent me this photo connecting to a yellow wire which is the live feed to the rear light. My question is, is the rear light wire live permanently or only only when the ignition is on, which if it isn’t then wiring it through the thunderbox should work.

Hi Stephen,
The yellow wire should NOT be connected to a constant power supply, but to a switched power supply.

Rear light:
You can check this yourself; your rear light should not turn on when the ignition is off. Otherwise, your battery would drain quickly.

Parking mode:
This function must be enabled with the app.
If the power supply voltage is insufficient, this function will automatically be disabled to save the battery.
The sensitivity of parking mode depends on how hard and fast the bike is moved. A firm tap will have a greater effect than a push. This also depends on the direction of the tap and where the DVR is mounted on the bike.

How can the shock sensor work if the ignition is off? I currently have it connected via a thunder box, what is the difference? <div>

Hi Stephen,
Parking mode can work when the ignition is off.
The yellow wire should no longer have power, and the red and black wires must still have power. The power supply must be at least 12.5V, otherwise parking mode will be disabled.
Parking mode is different from accident recording. Both use the built-in G-sensor.

Hi, I have the red and black wires connected to a thunder box so the cameras become live when the ignition is switched on. If I connect the red and black wires directly to the bike’s battery, it would drain it surely.

[Hans]

Hi Stephen,
Switching the red and black wires is a recipe for trouble.
The current the K7 draws when it’s switched off (switched via the yellow wire) is very minimal.
Unless you have a very weak battery in your bike, you don’t need to worry about the K7 draining your battery.

I am also having this same issue. ( recording only when stationary, camera light flashes quickly when I begin riding). I have my yellow ACC wire running off the license plate light. Is this sufficient? Should I update the firmware on the system?

[Hans]

Hi Neal,
Check your card. Could it be that the vibration from driving is causing the card to no longer be properly seated in the card slot?

It’s also possible that the G-sensor is set too sensitive, and the recordings are being saved as protected/accident files. Check the corresponding folders to see if the recordings are there.
