Hi Tom,
I understand that you want to play directly from the K6, because you can’t see anything without wifi. Can you download a video? And can you play a downloaded video from the local files folder without the app crashing?
The app crashes with all recordings? This is because I see two recordings in the print screen that are gray. Maybe those two recordings are corrupt?
Reinstalling the app might help. Remove the app (and all data) by going to settings. Click on Apps and then click on the Innovv app. Click on force stop at the bottom right and confirm this. Click on storage and click on clear data at the bottom left. Go back one step and then click on delete. This way the app and all data from the app are removed. Then reinstall the app.

Hi Tom,
If you want to open videos from the camera files folder, you need an active wifi connection with the K6. If there is no wifi connection, the app will only show a picture as a kind of preview.
Downloaded videos can be played without an active wifi connection with the K6. You can then play these videos from the folder local files. Local in this case means on your phone.

Hi Tom,
Does the Innovv app go to the main screen or the VLC app?
If you want to play the videos in the Innovv app, did you download them first or are you trying to play them directly from the K6 (camera files or local files)?
If you put the SD card in a computer, can you play the videos?
Are you able to try it with another phone?
You don’t have a virus scanner on your phone?
Are you using an iPhone or an Android phone?

Hi Kev,
If the green LED stays on continuously it means that video is being recorded.

Hi Kev,
After re-flashing the firmware the password is 12345678.
See this video on how to flash the firmware. The video is made for the K5 but the procedure and the LED displays are the same as for the K3.

Hi Kev,
The only way to reset the password is to reload the firmware. Even if you are already using the same firmware version, that is the only way.

Hi Glen,
The loop function means that recordings are made of the set duration and that when the SD card is full, the oldest recording is overwritten. This is according to the principle of first-in-first-out.
To properly perform a factory reset, it is best to perform a firmware update. This works better than holding down the button on the remote control for 10 seconds.

Hi Tony,
I don’t know if the protect function also works with time lapse. I would say ‘trial and error’ to test it yourself once.
By the way, I would choose to record everything in normal mode for long periods of time and later create a time-lapse with a video editing program. The advantage is that you can edit your original recording and not miss any frames. You also have the complete audio recording with it. I also don’t know if the GPS data is recorded with a time-lapse recording. With a time-lapse recording, fewer frames are recorded and you can therefore just miss the split-second recording. With a 256GB card you can record for many hours. If necessary, take an extra SD card with you to change on the go.

Hi Mark.
I still had a print screen of an older version of the app, which is why the title could be slightly different. But Update Time could is the correct one.
If you do this, the time of the camera is synchronized with the time of your phone. That is why you can only choose accept. You do not have the option to enter a (different) time yourself.
GPS reception is not necessary. No time from the GPS signal is used.

Hi Richard,
The green LED indicates the status of the WiFi but can also mean that a recording is being made. Fast flashing has to do with the WiFi. Slow flashing has to do with recording. With recording, the red LED should also be on continuously. Unfortunately, the manual is not entirely clear on this.

It seems to me that the K6 WiFi is trying to connect to your phone but that this connection is not found. If there was a WiFi connection, the green LED should be on continuously.

Perhaps the WiFi connection is not going completely well. This can happen if you are using an iPhone. The tip is to put the iPhone in airplane mode and manually establish the WiFi connection.

In addition, a bad/wrong SD card can also cause strange problems. Can you format the SD card using the app? And does the SD card meet the specification as stated by Innovv in the manual?

[Hans]

Hi Andrew,
Have you been using the SD card for a long time? If so, it is advisable to format it once using the app. The index system is then reset. This can improve the speed of the SD card. If this does not help, can you test with another card? It can happen that an SD card starts to deteriorate, causing the write/read performance to deteriorate.
In principle, you should not miss any images between recordings.

Hi Mark,

In the app use Time Calibration.

Hi Tony,
Unfortunately there is no more detailed info available. But if you have specific questions about settings, ask them here on this forum and we can certainly help you further.

Hi Tony.
I don’t have my K3 at hand, so I can’t check it physically.

The setting 300ms means that a video frame is made every 0.3 seconds. With the standard of 30FPS this is every 0.03 seconds. To make a time-lapse video you need fewer frames than with a normal recording. A video made with a lower frame rate, in this example 300ms, gives an acceleration of 10x when played back at 30 FPS.

If you really want to be sure, place a clock in front of your camera and make a time-lapse video of 10 minutes. If you play it back, it must be a video of 1 minute🙂.

Hi Tony,
So the problem was with the power module?
