Hi RY, thank you for your kind words, glad you found the review helpful, 🙏 Ps: what was the part I didn’t cover or answer? Best wishes Carl 🙋🏻‍♂️

Hi Carl… another great video👍 One thing I will say is that these cameras, @12:02 does not "keep us safe”, but rather allows our friends/family to know why we were killed, or to assist us with “proof of fault” for legal/insurance purposes if we have survived. Having been in this situation (May, 2019), I subsequently started wearing helmet-mounted VERY VISIBLE constant recording 360 cameras (initially the now-discontinued Garmin VIRB, then subsequently Insta360 X2). When other road users see that they are being recorded they often moderate their behaviour, so this does help our safety. It does not matter which cameras we have, because we can/will always get hit/killed by other road users - BUT a decent system like this one will help others (Police, Coroner, and Insurance carriers) to analyse/determine what happened and who did what in the post-incident review. Cheers, Neil👍

I think he meant it could save you by having evidence of what happened for insurance purposes. Not all crashes end in death. At least that's how I took it. Ride safe!!

Superb, nothing left to chance!

Hi Correy, I think we all hope that is the case, it’s nice to know something is there just in case. Best wishes Carl

i had a K5 on my 1250 GS and very good it was ..the only downside is the file size , using the app to download footage takes an age, so it was always easier and faster to take the card out and do the transfer on a lap top..ive recently bought a 1300 GS and i am fitting the K7 to it as its more compact and files will be smaller so hopefully quicker .

@justthewayitis

Hi Gerry, yes the new 5.8GHz WiFi plus the reduced files size will help speed up transfers, although removing the micro SD card is still quicker 👍 Regards Carl

Your videos are more interesting than any of the paid streaming channels like Netflix and Prime! I was considering the K5 for a while but the K7 seems to be the better option. An installation video of the K7 on the new 1300GS would be much appreciated (if you don't have a 1300 available for this, you can use mine😅).

Hi, I currently have the K2 fitted to my 1250 GSA. Can I leave the cameras/cabling in place when installing the K7 to save me from having to remove all the panels etc.? TIA.

@justthewayitis

Hi Gary, I believe the K7 has improved cables with new shielding to improve video quality, so I would think it’s best to exchange everything. Carl

Hi, is there another place for the control electronics as I need the connection to charge the battery in winter? Greetings from Cologne Udo

@justthewayitis

6 күн бұрын

Hi Udo, as we only need a trigger feed you could use one of the indicators and find the tail light feed wire. Or still use the din plug but just take a trigger from it at the back and then reconnect it back to the side panel which is probably the easiest thing to do so you can continue to use it for winter charging. All you need to find is a live wire that comes on with the ignition. Greetings from Hessen 👍 Carl

Hi Carl nothing to do with cameras, but how do you get your spoked wheels looking so clean? Mine always look like they have a film of dirt on them 😊.

Hi Slip, lol I use a toilet brush 🧹 for the area on the rims where spokes attach, and a special spoke brush on the spokes them selves. Amazon sell them for about 7€ But it’s always a pain when I clean the wheels Carl 😉

It’s much like the K3 I have on my K1600.

Is there a way to install it without removing the DIN socket and cutting plastic ? I am not very good with my hands LOL R1250 GSA 2021 tks for the video !! So if I get this right, to get the video recording to our PC, we have to get the SD Card out every time ? it can't be uploaded to our phone ( some WiFi stuff between the k7 and phone)

@justthewayitis

Hi , no cutting of plastic was needed, I just removed the DIN socket. I have several other systems mounted on my R1250GS 2021 bike so finding space under the rear seat was difficult for me. But on a standard GS/A you will have plenty of room. Yes you can transfer the files from the DVR directly to your phone via the InnovvAPP using WiFi ( 2.4 or 5.8GHz ) I hope that answers your questions 🙋🏻‍♂️, I’m currently at the ABR show in Warwickshire and very busy with customers and subscribers, but If you need more help just send me a message 👍 Best wishes Carl

Hi Carl, I´ve found that the advantage of Innovv systems is the camera clamp set up for the cameras is versatile. On the downside they always supply too long cables! Are dash cams much used in Germany? They have strict data privacy rules I understand. All the best from showery South Hessen, Nick

Hi Nick, honestly I have no idea if they are restricted here in Germany, I’ll try to find out 🙏

@michielvandepol6765

I'm not sure what the current situation is but in the past an action cam was strictly forbidden in Germany. You are/were not allowed to make videos in public places (e.g. roads..). It could result in hefty fines! For dash cams that do not make structural footage things might be a bit different nowadays. As long as you keep in mind that the footage might not be accepted as evidence in a court and privacy rules are very, very strict. I quickly checked and information from November 2023 indicated it is still prohibited to use action/dashcams. Maybe ask the Police in Germany?

Hi Max, I have spoken to INNOVV. Yes the .co.uk website does not support my code, apparently it is a different company !!. So, INNOVV recommend you purchase directly from them at the INNOVV.COM site where you can use the code and receive free shipping. Alternatively as I have mentioned, you can use Weiser-Technik.co.uk who stocks Innovv products and who offers great customer service and support which is more important than free shipping from my perspective. when we buy this types of devices customer support is very important. Of course its up to you.... I have a FIRMWARE (how too) video going up in a few days that is related to the K7 Carl

How long does it take to download videos via wifi?

@justthewayitis

3 сағат бұрын

If you mean the footage, it depends on what you want to download from the memory card in the K7 to your phone. But I find it fairly easy and quick. If you want to download a days riding it’s quicker to take the memory card out and transfer it to your PC. Carl

I don't see the need for companies to continue making products with inferior camera systems. I certainly will not buy a system lower than 4K now that there are many 4K cameras out there. So to me, the K7 is a huge bust. But that's just me.

Really no need for anything more at the sort of speeds you're riding at.

Hi Paul, correct 👍. The system is great for keeping a record of what is happening front and rear at normal speeds. For track use you would be better off using an action camera due to the increased resolution and frame rate. Carl
