Hi Karl-Ove,
Unfortunately, this is not possible. -
Hi Frank,
Pressing the button on the camera triggers a protected recording—essentially the same as an “accident” recording. In this case, a protected file should be saved from both the front and rear cameras, with the duration matching the setting you’ve configured in the app.
All things considered, I strongly suspect a hardware fault in your system—likely in the rear camera, given the issues you’ve experienced with it previously.
Feel free to send me a private message (PM) with a link to the corrupted files.
I recommend contacting the seller of your RC6 to arrange for a replacement under warranty. Alternatively, if you are certain the issue is isolated to the rear camera, you could replace just that component. If you purchased the RC6 directly from Innovv, you can reach out to them via https://innovv.com/pages/contact
I’d be interested to hear how this is resolved and what the final outcome is—specifically, whether the problem is indeed limited to the rear camera or if there is something else going on.

Hi Alex,
Downloading video files via Wi-Fi isn’t exactly ideal…
The download speed depends on the quality of the Wi-Fi connection. Just because it’s 2.4GHz doesn’t mean you’ll achieve maximum speeds. Factors such as bandwidth congestion (multiple users on the same channel), the distance between your phone and the camera, the use of antivirus software, the file size, and various other external influences can all play a role. In short, you shouldn’t set your expectations too high regarding download speeds. You could try using a lower resolution—which results in smaller files—to see if that improves the download speed; it’s essentially a trade-off between quality and speed.
In my opinion, the Wi-Fi connection is really only useful for adjusting camera settings via the app or perhaps downloading the occasional individual video file. The fastest way to transfer multiple videos is to remove the SD card and read it directly on a computer.
Reading from or writing to the SD card won’t cause it to fill up any faster; after all, this is exactly what the RC6 does during normal operation. -
Hi Frank,
You can configure the RC6 so that its Wi-Fi turns off automatically after a set amount of time. This eliminates any interference with your BMW’s Wi-Fi.
The switched wire (the yellow one) has no impact on the RC6’s Wi-Fi.
On my BMW K1600GT (2015), the top case connector includes a switched power supply (see https://forum.innovv.com/members/hans/photos/ — it’s the red/yellow wire).
Regarding connecting to the app: are you using an Android device or an iPhone? iPhones sometimes struggle to connect to the app; if this happens, try putting your iPhone into airplane mode and connecting to the RC6 manually. In principle, you only need the app to configure the RC6 settings or to download videos—you don’t need it every time you start the RC6. Consequently, there is no need to maintain a constant Wi-Fi connection between the RC6 and your phone.
Regarding the corrupted videos: are these from both the front and rear cameras, or just the rear one? Are they corrupted from the very beginning (i.e., from the moment the motorcycle is started), or do they become corrupted only after riding for a while?
The fact that the blue LED flashes rapidly when the ignition is off (meaning there is no voltage on the yellow wire) indicates an issue with the power supply. Could you use a multimeter to check the battery voltage when the ignition is switched off?
It is also possible that a faulty camera could cause issues across the entire system. If you disconnect the rear camera, does the RC6 then switch on and off correctly when power is applied to or removed from the yellow wire?

Hi Frank,
Grounding the yellow wire serves no purpose. In fact, it could even cause strange issues, as an unwanted leakage current might begin to flow through the ground connection.If you do want to use a switch, ensure that in one position it connects the yellow wire to a power source, and in the other position, it disconnects it from the power source—meaning it should not be connected to the ground, either.
By the way, I’m curious: what is your reason for using a switch?
-
Hi Frank,
The yellow wire should not be connected to the ground.
The yellow wire must be connected to a switched power source—in other words, a wire that receives power when the ignition is turned on and loses power when the ignition is turned off. -
Hi Maciej,
Thanks for sharing your photos.
Other Panigale riders might find this useful.
Regarding the opening in the windscreen—is it original, or did you make that opening yourself? -
Hi Peter,
What video/bitrate settings have you configured?
Does the SD card meet the specifications set by Innovv—specifically, a write speed higher than U3?
How are you viewing the videos? Are you using the app to view them directly from the camera, or are you viewing videos that have been downloaded via the app? Alternatively, are you viewing them by inserting the SD card into a computer?
There is a difference in the maximum resolution between the front and rear cameras.

Hi Davide,
The camera LED flashing slowly can also indicate that a “protected” video is being recorded. These are saved in a different folder—not in the “Continuous Videos” folder. Please check the other folders to see if they are there. It is possible that the G-sensor sensitivity is set too high.
When you turn off your motorcycle, you are stationary, so the G-sensor is not triggered; consequently, this final recording ends up in the “Continuous Videos” folder.
If you are still unsure, you could also try the option that Robert mentioned. -
Hi Alex,
The flashing of the red and green LEDs can indicate various things; please refer to the manual for details.
Are you able to see all the recordings if you read the SD card on a computer?
Have you formatted the SD card using the Innovv app?
Have you set a duration for ‘Loop Recording’? If not, recording will stop once the SD card is full. If you do set a duration, the oldest recording will be overwritten when the SD card fills up, making room for the newest one (first-in, first-out).
If you want to view recordings directly from the camera via the app, you must maintain a continuous connection to the RC6. If the Wi-Fi turns off while you are viewing them (what duration have you set for ‘Wi-Fi Active Duration’?), you will no longer be able to view the recordings directly from the camera.
Additionally, loading all the thumbnails can take some time.

Hi Mark,
Are you using the same power supply each time you try a different USB cable? Some power supplies are not recognized by Innovv cameras. In my experience, this tends to happen with power supplies that have a higher power output.

Hi Miguel Angel,
Good to hear that it worked out. Just to clarify, I was referring to the license plate light, not the indicator (turn signal) light. If it were the latter, the RC6 would keep turning on and off whenever you used your turn signal😉.
A soldered connection is still the best type of connection. Plus, you don’t have to cut any of the original wires to do it.
Perhaps you’d like to post a photo? It might help other forum members who are facing a similar installation situation.
Enjoy your RC6!

Hi Simon,
You can replace the batteries by placing the wrench onto the sensor nut (2). Then, carefully unscrew the tire pressure sensor (1)—essentially, you are unscrewing the black cap from the sensor. You can now replace the coin-cell battery.

Hi Angelo,
Thanks for the feedback.
Other N2 users might find this helpful if they encounter the same issue.
Enjoy your N2! -
Hi Peter,
It might have to do with the combination of resolution/bitrate and having the correct VLC codecs on your computer.
