Hi,

You can turn off the overlay using the Innovv app, so it is no longer visible on screen. The GPS data will still be stored in the metadata of the video files. Unfortunately, only the ‘Watermark text’ cannot be turned off.
You can also keep all data visible on screen and later use video editing software to crop the image so that it is no longer visible. I think this is easier than adding the data back on screen later if you want it to be visible again.

It might take some practice with the button to figure out how fast you need to press it. Also, keep in mind that with motorcycle gloves on, it is not always easy to feel if you have pressed the button.

While playing a recorded video, you can no longer take photos in the same resolution. You would then have to take a screenshot or get to work with video editing software.

Loop recording duration. The length is a matter of personal preference. I have mine set to 3 minutes. A shorter length also results in a shorter download time. With a longer recording time, you will see fewer thumbnails in the app and the overview may be clearer, but downloading a recording will also take longer.

Note that when you make a protected recording, only the current recording is protected. So, if you press the button to protect just in the last second of a current recording, the next recording will no longer be recorded as a protected video.

It is not possible to remove the protection from a recorded video that has been saved as a protected video.

Since there is plenty of space on a 512GB SD card, you do not need to worry about protected recordings taking up space. In practice, it will turn out that you will not use the protected video function very often.

To calculate how many recordings you can make: Make a recording in the highest resolution and bitrate. Then you will know how large these files will be. A file is created for both the front and rear cameras. Add the size of these two files together. Divide the SD card size by this number and then multiply it by the time you set for loop recording duration. This will give you approximately the maximum number of minutes you can record.

Hi PFM,

What do you mean by telemetry data? If you mean GPS data, then this is already included in the recordings by default.
The system is designed for two cameras, so a disconnected camera is not taken into account. You could also place the camera you are not using somewhere out of sight. If you do not connect a camera, you will also need to seal the open connector against moisture and dirt.

You can connect your laptop to your K7; find the Wi-Fi network of your K7 and then connect it using the K7’s password. It takes a bit of searching to find which IP address to enter in your web browser (the IP address of the default gateway, but I’m not sure about that). You can then access the video files via the web browser. It is and remains not really user-friendly.
Another disadvantage is that you still have to leave the motorcycle’s ignition on to maintain the connection. So that affects your battery voltage. The fastest way to download the videos is still to put the SD card in your computer.

I don’t understand what you mean by ‘I set the light to flashing’. Have you read the manual for the remote control? It explains how to take a photo and how to secure a video. Video files are automatically overwritten when the SD card is full and you have selected a time under ‘Loop Recording Duration’. The files are overwritten based on FIFO (First in, first out). This means the oldest recording is overwritten to make room for a new recording. If no time is set for Loop Duration Recording, it is possible that you will receive recordings of 12 minutes. When the SD card is full, no new recordings will be saved.

You can delete a protected recording by formatting the SD card using the Innovv app. Alternatively, you can insert the SD card into your computer and delete the files that way.

GPS data is processed in the video. You can also view this GPS data with DashCam viewer.

Hi Jeroen,
I would take the constant voltage directly from the battery.
You can get the switched voltage (yellow wire) from your license plate lighting, for example. This is always switched with the ignition. If you have a USB port on the dashboard, chances are that this is also switched.

Groet uit Ede.
Tja, je voornaam kom je niet vaak tegen op dit forum😉

Hi Jeroen,
I recommend switching the N3 via the yellow wire.
This has the following advantages:

• You can’t forget to turn it on or off
• The N3 is always shut off properly
• Less chance of a dead battery. Power consumption isn’t much, but every little bit helps
• The screen doesn’t stay on unnecessarily if you park the motorcycle somewhere where the screen might attract (the wrong) attention
• For the software, it is better if it isn’t always on but is restarted at some point

The battery will not drain if the N3 is removed from the holder. The holder itself draws no power.

PS, klopt het dat je in Nederland woont?

Hi David,
You don’t need to disconnect the K6 when charging the battery. After all, the battery charges while driving too 😉
Disconnecting is also not necessary if you use a CAN-bus battery optimizer.

Hi Ralph,
We’ll just wait for the app update.

[Hans]

Hi Andrey,
See my answers in the other topic where you also asked these questions.

Hi Barry,
This is almost standard (on Android).

The K7 actually acts as a sort of hotspot. However, it doesn’t provide a connection to the internet, but to your K7. So your phone detects an active Wi-Fi connection but has no connection to the internet. Your phone always wants to connect to the internet, but it fails to do so, hence the message ‘connected with no internet’.
It is the same as when you connect your laptop to your home network but the cable from the router to the outside (read: internet) is disconnected.

Hi Ralph,
I am currently experiencing the same problem with my Samsung A56.
I have already reported the issue to Innovv.
I do still have an old version (2023) of the app lying around; I want to reinstall it on my phone soon to see if this works. If you are interested in this older version, please let me know via PM.

Hi Jeff,
Did it work properly before? If so, has anything unusual happened to the K7, your motorcycle, in the meantime? Did you have low battery voltage or other power supply problems?
Are normal video recordings still being made?
‘No recording on demand with the remote….‘ by this do you mean making a protected video? Because for normal recordings no action is needed; the K7 automatically starts recording when the K7 boots up.
You could perform a master reset by re-flashing the (latest) firmware.

Hi Kev,
The clips should have the length you set in Recording settings – Loop Recording Duration.
Are your clips actually consecutive? Or are there time gaps between these clips? Because if they are so short, there is something more going on. If you are standing still, are the clips also this short?

[Hans]

Hi Jean François,

Before I answer your question, a comment on your message:

If you want a quick response, please ask your question in English. After all, English is the working language on this forum. You are asking for help from us, so we ask you to make some effort to translate your question.
Also, your question is difficult to read due to all the formatting marks.
Additionally, for a question that has nothing to do with the current topic, it is better to create a new topic. This keeps the forum organized for other forum members.

In answer to your question, the yellow wire must be switched. See also the K7 manual. If you connect the yellow wire to the red wire, this is a recipe for trouble.

[Hans]

Hi Andrey,
Looking at the photo, the wiring is properly installed.
I am curious if it will continue to work properly with a new cable.

[Hans]

Hi Andrey,
Does the cable move or vibrate a lot when you ride your motorcycle? Is the cable not tensioned too tightly?
Excessive movement or tensioning can cause a cable break. Pulling too hard on the cable to remove the SD card cover can also eventually cause a break.

[Hans]

Hi Andrey,
How is the Loop Recording setting configured? If you haven’t selected a loop time here, old recordings won’t be overwritten; if the card is full, recording will stop.
