Hi James,
It is normal to hear beeps during startup.
It is possible that the 9V from the switched power supply isn’t sufficient for the RC6 to switch correctly. The 9V level might place the RC6 right at the on/off switching threshold, causing it to behave erratically. Could you connect the yellow wire to a switched power supply that provides around 12V?

Hi Graham,
The SD card does meet Innovv’s specifications—specifically, it has a write speed higher than U3.
Is it possible for you to test with a different SD card to rule out a faulty card?
A non-functional SD card shouldn’t affect the connection to your phone. Could you provide more details on how you are trying to pair the phone? Are you following the instructions in the manual? What make and model of phone are you using? The more information you can provide, the better we can assist you.

Hi Jay,
Unfortunately, this is not possible.The K7 records continuously, so recording is essentially always taking place. The difference between a standard recording and an incident recording is that the incident recording is not overwritten when the SD card fills up and older recordings are replaced.

Hi Graig,
Thanks for the comprehensive and detailed explanation of your installation on your BMW.
Other BMW R 1300 RS riders will find this very useful.Regarding point 6: give the GPS a bit more time to get a fix the first time. The GPS module needs to lie horizontally with a clear view of the sky. The text on the GPS module must face upwards.
Enjoy your K7.

Hi Bob,
Unfortunately, the Innovv app is not available for a computer (Windows & Mac).
A good alternative is Dashcam Viewer. Even with the free version, you already have more than enough features.
With Dashcam Viewer, you can play back your videos (picture-in-picture with both cameras). You can see where you have driven (map) and various graphs of your trips are available.

Flashing the firmware can only be done using an SD card with a storage capacity between 8 and 32GB.
Flashing with an SD card larger than 32GB may cause problems, or the flashing may not be performed at all.

Hi Teglas,
If, despite swapping the (physical) cameras, the problem can be traced back to the DVR.
Regarding formatting the SD card, did you do that using the Innovv app or a computer? Formatting is best done using the app. Problems can sometimes arise with a card formatted using a computer as well.
Is the power supply voltage still sufficient after starting? An engine running at idle sometimes has (too) low voltage. The voltage only increases when you rev ​​it up.
To ensure the firmware isn’t causing any issues, you can re-flash it.
Should the problem persist despite everything, you can claim it from the seller of the K7 if the K7 is still under warranty. -

Hi Tom,
It is possible that the camera has become defective. After all, it is technology that can fail.
Is the front camera still recording properly?
Check if the camera itself shows any damage. Are all connectors still intact, clean, and dry? Check if the rubber ring is still present in the connector; this prevents moisture from entering. Also check if the camera cable is still intact and not pulled too tight.
Is the rubber seal behind the SD card slot cover also still present?
Did you not experience any issues with low battery voltage? Low battery voltage can cause the firmware to malfunction. This is easy to fix by re-flashing the firmware. -
Hi C,
The sequence is determined by a combination of date, time, a sequence number, and an indication of the front/rear camera. All of this is combined in the naming of the video files. So you can identify a file quite quickly. See the image of a number of my K6 files.I don’t know exactly how long the K6 retains its time/date. This also depends on whether the K6 is connected to a USB power bank or to a constant power supply via a DC converter. It is my habit that if I haven’t used the K6 for more than two weeks, I perform a time synchronization with the app before I go riding. This is done quickly in the app, and then I know for sure that the time/date is correct again.

Fortunately, those small SD cards are not expensive😉.
A small card is necessary due to the required file system, FAT32. This is because NTFS and exFAT are not suitable for flashing the firmware.
And you can still claim the K7 under warranty if the warranty is still valid.

Hi Craig,
Perhaps Google can give you some more tips.
Once you have installed the K7 on your R1300 RS, could you perhaps post photos/videos of how you did it? You could help other R1300RS riders with this.
Good luck with your installation. -
Hi Tom,
It is normal for the DVR to get warm; the housing acts as a heatsink for the electronics. And getting warm means that it is still safe to touch.
However, if the DVR becomes too hot to touch, that is not good. Especially if the motor has been off for quite some time, the DVR should not heat up any further. So, there is definitely something wrong. I cannot determine whether this is due to a camera or the DVR. This will be a trial-and-error situation.
On the other hand, if the K5 is still under warranty, you can claim it fully under warranty.
