Hi Hans,

So just to follow up this thread in case it helps anyone else. I took the bike out for a 2 hour ride and the K7 worked for the first time, recording everything from start to finish of the journey. I am not saying the problem is completely solved until I get a few more journeys done without incident but it would appear that the issue has been resolved.

I completely removed the system from the bike. Due to the way I mounted the front and rear cameras their location had to stay the same but I ran the wiring for them a different route around the bike. I looped the excess wiring for the cameras under the pillion seat away from any high voltage cables or consumers. I also looped the excess wiring loosely to prevent the antenna issue you mentioned. I moved the Innovv ECU from it’s location to under the pillion seat as far away from any high voltage cables or consumers as I could manage. I connected the earth supply to a different earth point on the bike frame to prevent any earth ripple interference from the alternator. Any of the wires that ran close to the battery or main battery cables I wrapped in faraday cloth tape to prevent interference.

I’m not sure which of these may have solved the issue but while I had the system de-installed I decided to do everything I could think off.

Fingers crossed it behaves itself from now on.

Thanks

Aaron

Hi Hans,

I bought the system in September so it should still be covered by the warranty. Do you think that the 5v supply to one or both of the cameras is breaking down under load? It’s strange that the camera only goes faulty when they are both connected. Each camera works fine individually and both seem to work fine together when the engine isn’t running. Once the engine starts and the voltage goes up to 13.6v the camera system seems to fault. Does the Innovv system have any issues with lithium-Ion batteries? My bike has a lightweight battery from BMW.

Thanks

Hi Hans,

Thank you for getting back to me. So tonight I carried out as many checks and tests as I could. Which has resulted in me stripping down the motorbike and re-tracking the camera wiring to avoid any electrical interference and well as re-doing power wiring, testing the system using an external power supply, and trying a few more SD cards just to be double sure of everything.

The conclusion of all these test are as follows:

If I have one camera connected to the Innovv K7 system (doesn’t matter if it is the front or the rear camera) once I start the engine the green LED on the remote control stays solid and the camera can be viewed on the Innovv app. Everything seems to work correctly. I would need to take the bike for a test ride to check if this single camera setup works over a long period of time but it works longer than 5 minutes with the engine running.

As soon as I connect a second camera (either the front or the rear camera) the green LED on remote starts to flash and both the camera views on the Innovv app goes black. With both cameras connected during engine start up the fault takes the usual 10-30 seconds to happen. If I connect the second camera with the engine running already the green LED starts blinking almost straight away.

Have you any ideas what this could be?

Thanks

Aaron
