Hi Bob,
I have no experience with the K7, but I do have experience with other Innovv models.
The following does not necessarily apply to the K7.
The DVR can become warm because it also houses the processor. The housing of the DVR then works as a heat sink. So it is true that it can heat up well. But it should not happen so warm/hot that the DVR/Cameras can no longer be touched
The cameras also contain the necessary electronics that generate heat.
In parking mode the camera/DVR will not get warm. The K7 is then in ‘sleep mode’ and consumes little power.
If the power consumption is as low as that of the K3 or K5, you can certainly leave the motorcycle for a few weeks. I assume that you have a good battery in your motorcycle.
The K7 switches off automatically when the ignition is switched off. And if you have enabled parking mode, the K7 will monitor whether the battery voltage becomes too low. Below 12.5V, the parking mode will be switched off to protect your battery from draining.
