It is a bit surprise to hear that we do refuse to swap the DVR for a new one that betrays our rules, After all, that is what anyone should expect from a security device. But I would trade all of this for something that is reliable.
Innovv k1 racerender software#
The K1 is still (theoretically) the best motorcycle dashcam on the market: it has all the features I want, the video quality is excellent, the image-stabilization software is remarkable, etc. Please share your Innovv K1 experiences (good or bad) on this thread. I'm not sure what I should do next, except replace it with something I can depend on. Except this device does not regulate the voltage! All it does is delay the on/off switching of the accessories connected to it by 10-12 seconds, to avoid any potential power spikes or voltage fluctuations from the starter motor or solenoid. They claim the power supply in my F6B is unstable (it's a friggin battery!) and want me to purchase a "Power Socket" device to regulate the voltage. They have not agreed to swap the DVR for a new one, even though that would answer many questions, or even fix the problem. Innovv appears to be a very small company (2 people?) in China. In my opinion, the problem comes from the DVR itself, or its firmware. Am I the only one this is happening to? I have tried to isolate the origin of this bug with Helen Chen at Innovv since it first happened: I removed the front camera, then the rear camera (to reduce the data flow), lowered the resolution, switched camera ports, tried three different ultra-fast Micro-SD cards, installed ferrite chokes on all the cables, re-installed the firmware, installed the latest, re-designed Innovv cable clip, and on and on and on. In all these months, the DVR has repeatedly crashed every few days, always in the middle of a trip, seemingly without reason. We deserve a carrot.I installed an Innovv K1 dual-camera system (leaving out the GPS) on my Honda Goldwing F6B in October, 2016. Not sure how that will play against the competing K2, but at least the 2-camera advantage is becoming more mainstream. Street Guardian also said they are developing a motorcycle version of their automobile 2-camera system, which has slightly smaller cameras. However, until I have absolute certainty that a "real", crystal-clocked 10-second turn-on delay is built into the K2 (which seems like a simple matter, considering all the other functions built into the unit) I will hold off on installing a K2 in my other bike (Indian Scout). The K2 aluminum case and screw-secured connectors are certainly more confidence-inspiring. At least Innovv customers won't have to deal with language barriers and shipping stuff halfway across the world. Rock is still the owner of Innovv and the K2 is supposed to work properly. They had a booth at the show and I was told the K1 was nothing more than a re-badged product from a failed Chinese company. I spent countless hours disassembling the GoldWing (not the easiest bike to take apart!) and basically a blank check to get this system to work.Ī few days ago I visited the Long Beach Motorcycle Show and discovered that Innovv now has US representation (Street Guardian in Carson City, Nevada). It was finally resolved well after the K1 was no longer under warranty.
Ĭhasing this problem took me over a year. Yes, I should have posted the results on this site – sorry.
The Rowe PDM60 is expensive (nearly $200) but it has a real clock. I believe the Innovv PowerHub One and DC-DC Converter delays are very erratic and insufficient, because they might be "calculated" by capacitor discharge (I'm speculating here). The K1 crashes became less frequent (by about 40-50%) so I knew I was on the right track.
What I got was anywhere from 2 to 6 seconds of total start-up delay.
Innovv k1 racerender series#
Then I installed the Innovv PowerHub One distribution module, which is supposed to have its own 10-second startup delay (added in series to the Innovv DC-DC Converter, this should have given me a 20-second start-up delay). I upgraded to the "improved" version of this Innovv DC-DC converter (with added yellow trigger wire) – still no delay. The Innovv 12VDC to 5VDC converter was supposed to provide that 10-second delay. The PDM60 does not supply power to the K1 until the voltage is completely stabilized after starting the motorcycle.
Innovv k1 racerender install#
The solution for me was to install a Rowe PDM60 power distribution module, which has the necessary 10-second power-on delay. Hawkbox –– I'm happy to report that my Innovv K1 has had a 100% reliability record for about one year now.
