Thanks Stephen 🙂. I’d come to that conclusion and you are right about both the fiddley nature of that plate and the small screws which keep dropping! I’ll have a look at your solution.

My K6 that I bought recently from Sportsbikeshop here in the UK (very decent price, £164) did come with that plate. I assumed it was to reinforce the back cover and to allow the two M3 x 8mm screws to clamp down properly without distorting the plastic cover. I mounted it with the cutout facing down, so gap at the bottom. It still fell off when…

This is how I have the K6 front camera mounted on my Royal Enfield Interceptor 650. There is free access to get at the connector cover when I have the thumbscrews installed.

I found these thumbscrews on Amazon, they are M3 x 8mm, exactly the same size as the standard crosshead screws, but have a nice knurled top so they can be done up and undone using your fingers. I also found some fully stainless steel ones, I have ordered those as well to see which is best. I think the black plastic heads will be more discreet.…

Many thanks for your very quick reply – I actually found an earlier reply you gave to someone asking the same question. Even though you have to remove the connector cover as you would to access the SD to remove it, it is still easier to connect a USB-C to USB-A cable to the internal data connector as you don’t have to pop out the SD and put…

Hi Stephen,
Downloading the video files via Wi-Fi is indeed not fast. Therefore, connecting the laptop directly to the K6 via Wi-Fi will not result in any speed improvement. The K6’s Wi-Fi is the limiting factor.

The fastest way is to insert the SD card into your computer and download the video files that way.

If you remove the back of the K6 and…

Hi Stephen.

Unfortunately, the only way to download direct from the camera is to remove the rear plate and plug your PC directly into the USB connector beneath the camera. So not much of an improvement…

I agree it’s a bit of a design flaw.

Is it possible to directly download from the camera without removing the SD card? When I tried connecting a USB adapter cable i.e. USB-A male to female to the camera power/data cable, then USB male to PC/Laptop, the card does not appear as a drive in Windows 11 File Explorer. The only way to download the files reliably and quickly at the…

Hi Ken,
The BMWs are and remain wonderful motorcycles.
Enjoy it thoroughly and have a great trip!

Hi hans

Thankyou ill do that be easier . Id always use solder joint ans heat shrink over pozi taps etc . Less chance of water ingress etc.

K1600 wow . Was looking that them last month when my rs went in for its 18k serv . There huge lol.

Love the rs . Was very tempted to trade upto a r1250rt as not 100% sure looks wise on the new rt1300.

Hi Ken,

I own a BMW K1600GT myself. I took the switched power supply from the top case connector. I suspect this isn’t present on the RS1250. However, the license plate light power supply is also a good option.

The yellow wire draws no power, so this has no influence on the CANbus operation. Switching off can indeed take about 30 seconds on…

Hi hans

Thankyou for your reply.

My bike is a bmw rs1250 with canbus . And all the power goes off around 3o seconds after its shut off

But to be certain and avoid any issues . Ill connect red and black direct to battery and the switch live direct into the bmw .

Many thanks for your advice .

Looking forward to receiving my n2 and fitting it.

Regards ken

Hi Ken,
The most important thing is that the red and black wires (i.e., the continuous power supply) maintain a continuous power supply.

The yellow wire is your control wire; it must therefore switch along with the motorcycle’s ignition.

If you do want to switch the continuous power supply, ensure that it is only switched off once the N2…

Good morning . Im waiting on receiving my N2 system .

I have an oxford accessory junction box fitted to my bike . Which is connected to a switch live to initiate the relay to turn power on with ignition.

When fitting the n2 can I just take the battery terminals off and plug into the port on the junction box . And will i still need to connect…

Here goes… off to insert the sd card with the bin file you sent on it.

One step at a time.

I fired the engine up and have got the lights to work again – red and green.

Now going to try this bin file thing… buggered if I can remember the instructions between computer and bike though!

Hi Simon,

You can try powering the K6 via the USB cable.
Make sure to connect a USB power supply/power bank with a capacity of at least 2Ah.

Is the fuse in the cable to the DC converter still intact?

Thanks for the instructions Hans – slowly working through the red flags at the top of my computer!

Back later with updates.

Hans – thank you. That is what I did last night. How do I get the K6 to turn on again please? It won’t turn on with the ignition and nothing happens when I press the button. It is dead to the world.

Ok

Hi Simon
You can perform a factory reset by:

• Switching on the K6
• Press and hold the power button for a long time (approximately 30 seconds)
• The red LED flashes twice and then turns off again.
• Restart the K6; the K6 has been reset to factory settings.

Hello Simon

I have received your video files. Although the video files have a size between 12 and 32 MB, the content cannot be played. There is no video and no audio present.

Could it be that your SD card does not meet the specifications as stated by Innovv, requiring a write speed higher than U3? It is also possible that the SD card is…

Hi

@INNOVV would you like to help brainstorm about this problem?

OK, so I turned on the ignition and left it on. The camera turned on. I managed to find my way to the Innovv programme on my phone and it was connected. I went to ‘documents’ and chose camera video files. There was a delay of about 5 seconds, then the entire list of videos came up, I selected one to play, on the phone, it cannot play it back -…

Hans,

I don’t even try to look at the files on my mobile phone. I take the card out of the camera and download direct to my computer. I am reading your replies and writing to you on my computer.

Why are the videos on the card (and I know they are there because of the size of the files) not viewable? Other people are having the same or…

I’ve heard nothing from them since their initial response on June 29.

Hi Charles,

Have you heard anything from Innovv? Paul

Hi Christopher,

If I tested it correctly with my N3, you need both the Wi-Fi connection and the belltooth connection to use CarPlay/Android Car.
But it is possible that I was mistaken about that; I only recently started testing the N3 and still need to mount it on my motorcycle, so it has only been a workbench setup up until now.

Thank you Hans.

My N3 is the BMW version without cameras. I have a separate Innovv system for the cameras (a K7 I believe).

So, I will only need WIFI for firmware updates.

Isn’t it odd that some ‘other’ systems need BT and WIFI.

At least I now know, Thank you.

Hi Simon,

While loading the video, the phone must maintain a Wi-Fi connection with the K6. It is possible that the Wi-Fi will be switched off once the set time for the Wi-Fi duration has expired. If this happens while downloading the video to your phone, you may receive an error message.

Unfortunately, the image you tried to attach to this…

Hi Christopher,
The N3 requires your home Wi-Fi network for a firmware update.

To adjust settings using the Innovv app and download videos to your phone, you need to connect your phone to the N3’s Wi-Fi network. This is therefore the same as with the other Innovv cameras.

iPhones sometimes have trouble connecting to the Innovv cameras. The advice…

Dearest collective mind 🙂

I have today, bought an N3 for my BMW motorcycle; the key reasons being its ability to function on my GS and my Triumph (keeping it simple) and the quality.

I am however, a little confused about the initial set up.

The device wants a WIFI connection, but is this to my home WIFI or is it like the Innovv dashcams and it is…

Hi Simon,
The K6 records in MP4 format by default. This cannot be changed in the app either.

You can perform a master reset by re-flashing the K6’s firmware. If a bug has crept into the firmware, it will be fixed. All settings will then also be reset to factory defaults. With the default factory settings, the K6 should create normal .MP4 files…

Hans – how do I do that instruction you asked if I had done please? I don’t understand the words people use around computers – it is like learning a foreign language for me. The trouble is, replying I cannot see what you wrote and have to try and remember it.
I have tried to load one of the video clips, but the system won’t allow me to it says…
