INNOVV K1 Motorcycle camera install on Benelli 300cc

Kim has been living in China 3 years and it was difficult to get the motorbike.He has Benelli 300cc. it's his first motorbike. With more experience he will get the 600cc.

The traffic is so crazy in China, so he has searched a dashcam for motorbike for a long time
For the moment he uses Sport camera like Go Pro, but it's not convenient to install in the box everyday and to charge it at home each time the power is low.

He looks for a right motorcycle camera for days till found the K1. Below is the K1 installation he made.

 And trial riding in Kunshan City, China.

INNOVV- MotoCam

This is my setup of the Innovv K1 motorcycle dashcam recorder sold by Innovv.com.

I ordered the camera from their website and payed using paypal on a Saturday, and I fully expected it to take a month to arrive like most of the stuff from China, But I received it the following Wednesday, Just 4 days! They ask you to provide your phone number for express delivery, and I'm not sure how it actually helps, but my stuff did arrive very quickly. The package was small and included everything as described.

INNOVV K1-MotoCam

I ordered through the Innovv site on Sunday, and took delivery of the package the following Friday, not bad for posting from Hong Kong.

In the kit you get two water resistant cameras, a water resistant button, gps unit, DVR unit, and a bunch of 3M sticky stuff. Build quality looks to be quite nice.

Installation was pretty easy, I know nothing at all about electronics so I had troubles getting the power sorted out, the instructions say to wire directly to the battery, but that would leave the unit always on. So after a lot of frustration and google, I wired the negative to the battery and the positive to the headlight fuse (I have no idea how or why this works, and I hope i'm not doing any damage to anything by doing this). So unit now powers on and off with the ignition.

Dashcam Review: Innovv K1 2-channel Motorcycle DVR

Apologies in advance for the long post, but thought I’d share my experience with installing my new dashcam on my NCX - something I wanted to do for some time, but have been putting of until now.

As a commuter who uses his NCX every day around London, I’ve always wanted to install a dashcam on my bike for the extra insurance against those sleepy/angry/doing makeup/on the phone cagers we deal with on the daily peak hour commute. Having had two SMIDSYs in the past, I figured it’s probably a matter of when, not if, the next one will be, so best have that little extra insurance, just in case.

I know there are hundreds of different options out there, but for me, the solution had to be:

• Permanent and wired in - Plugging it in and changing batteries and switching it on and off every time I ride will get tiring.
• Discrete  - Needed to be tucked away and just “work”. I knew this meant more work installing it, but nothing screams “rob me” than a shiny GoPro flimsily clamped onto the handlebars.
• Not too expensive -  Enough to pay for decent quality, but not so much that it’s obvious the profit’s spent on sponsoring extreme sports and filming bikini clad girls on exotic beaches.
• Front and back - The more coverage the better.
• Dashcam features - Functions specific to dashcam recorders, like auto on/off, motion detection, SD card cycling, etc.

Innovv C3 hits CityBike on issue of Aug, 2015

Innovv C3

Words: Max Klein

Bay Area traffic is horrible. With all the texting, selfies, spilled coffee, and “Lanesharing?
NOT ON MY WATCH” idiocy that takes place, I wanted a reliable “evidence collection” camera for my commute rides. I have a handful of “action cameras” that would capture the carnage and prove my light was green, but I have to remember to charge them, bring them with me, and worry about battery life / memory card capacity every ride time I ride, otherwise the whole thing is pointless.
Oh, and I have to remember to hit the record button.

I wanted to ride without having to worry about charging batteries and changing memory cards. I wanted to turn the key on and go, as if I didn’t have to record my every move, just in case.

The Innovv C3 hits on all cylinders. The system consists of a bullet lens that plugs into a separate camera box (or DVR, if you prefer) via an HDMI cable. As with other cameras, there are multiple mounting options, ranging from helmet to handlebars. A simple switch on the side allowsyou to choose between single recording, continuous recording, or flashlight. No, “flashlight” is not some new ultra-HD compression tech! it’s just a single LED flashlight.

On the DVR, there are three buttons that allow you to change recording modes, start and stop recording, and turn the unit off. Also on the DVR is a multi-color LED that indicates what mode the C3 is in!red for 1080p / 30fps, green for 720p / 60fps, orange for 3 megapixel photos. All files are
recorded onto a microSD card, which you must supply.

Innovv sent us two lenses, one with a 90-degree field of view and another with wider 120-degree coverage. Standard kits (the ones you guys are gonna go buy after
reading this) include one or the other. Also in the box are data cables, power converters
and cables (for hardwiring, like my setup), and various mounting options for the lens, including helmet and tripod screw mounts!which are very versatile for permanent mounting.

The two recording methods are pretty much what they sound like. The single recording mode will fill the card up once and stop, while the continuous recording mode will “loop,” overwriting the earliest
files when the card runs out of space. Hello dashcam.

Both lenses are waterproof!perfect for optional external mic, but it plugs into the same port that I needed for power.

Speaking of plugging things in!the camera must have a lens attached to connect to a computer and adjust settings such as file size. That’s a significant problem if you want to permanently mouth the whole shebang, which was my plan. Fortunately, I had two lenses, and only mounted one.

Video capture has been completely reliable. I start the bike, the C3 starts recording. I end up with a folder full of smallish video files, which sounds like a mess, but actually turns out to be ok. Looking for specific footage? Easy, just look for the time stamps around the time your footage would have been captured. No more scrolling through a giant video file to find three seconds of footage.

Customer support is available through email, and while there is sometimes a little lost in translation, they’re responsive and I was able to get all of my questions answered.

Although it has some connectivity limitations, these shortcomings are easy to overlook, and the C3’s excellent video quality, two-piece form factor and hardwire capability make it a perfect commuter cam. I’ll be adding one to all of my bikes.

INNOVV C3 Roof Mount

This is shared by CheckYourLights from U.S., He is well-known member from DashcamTalk.

Well since I have tackled getting a camera as low as I can let's go in the other direction.I decided to toss the lens up on the roof.First as per my usual I got rid of the 3M dual sided stick. For anyone who cares it was labeled 3M and not some lower end stuff. It also came off very easily. I went dual lock so that I can remove it if need be.

Just in case anyone is curious yes the corresponding piece is now stuck on the roof of my car. It is clear so it doesn't look that bad. I don't mind doing it in the name of DashCam science.I glued the mount together so that it would not fly off or slide out while I was going down the road.

I ran the cable through my sun roof it seems to fit okay with no issue in the duct of the sunroof with it closed.

People asked, Very cool!! When do we get to see videos and screen shots? 

The video, Maybe when it gets a little warmer i'll take the T-Tops off of the Camaro and do the same thing but place it on the T-Bar

A ride in the rain.. Problem, and possible solution.

Shared by Riders,

My C3 with 90 degree lens, on a motorcycle has a problem in the rain. The wind keeps droplets of water stuck to the face of the recessed lens (Lens is waterproof, no water come into lens). 

I figured a convex lens cover might help the wind blow water off to the sides, instead of keeping it in place. So, I purchased a 21mm watch crystal and stuck it to the face of the camera with some 2-part urethane adhesive, applied with a small syringe.

The lens attached with Diameter 21mm watch crystal, The Out diameter of aluminum lens case is 23mm. Looks cool!

Now looking for rain to test,Tips: When I got home, and hit a small bump entering my driveway (low speed, no wind), the water drip fell off, You can also see from the effect in the video near the end where I stopped for a light. There, the water slumped to the bottom, clearing the view a bit. (The screen shot is from 720P, NOT 1080P)

The First Moto DashCam, INNOVV C3

Thanks for Kim from UK, who design the below banner, it is very smart design, that the best present the features of the C3, the small and discreet lens case, and interchangeable lens, very impressive!

Below photo is from Fishie in Singapore, who took the below beautiful photo after his two the C3 installed. the lens is under head light.

 Below is the close look, it is from other bike. This is 90 degree lens attached on the mount to solid glue on the bike. The lens is aluminum made, solid and waterproof, do not worry about ridding in the raining days, and it will never draw the thief's attention when leave it alone.

This is to show how the recording unit installed. it is under seat. Transit the power from 12V to 5V to connect the recording unit, once the bike power on, the recording start, power off, the recording stop. and loop recording let the last video clip to replace the first one, you do not worry the SD card is full. 

Here is the recording in day and night, the C3 is under head light, it records where you go.

Innovv C3 Review -The Wired Lens Mini Camera- By Techmoan

Cube shaped action cameras aren't suitable for all situations so Innovv thought outside the box when designing their new camera to allow for greater flexibility in camera placement.

If you've got the time (31 mins) you can click the video below to see my full review of the C3 Mini Snake Camera.

One thing that I didn't mention during the review was how this could be considered to be the first Motorcycle 'Dash' Camera. Over the years I've reviewed plenty of Car DVR Dashcams, but whenever people asked me if something similar was available for motorcycles I've always drawn a blank....until now. The C3 has all the necesssary features to make a great bike DVR . It has the ability to loop over the oldest video on the memory card, the water resistant camera can be lashed to the frame or hidden away in a fairing and the control unit can be stowed seperately in a dry area of the bike - perhaps under the seat, powered from a switched 5V USB. 

My bike already has a switched 12V power socket fitted, but if you need to fit one I believe that aFuseblock is a device you can install to get switched power and then add a 12V to 5V USB 1 Amp converter for the Innovv C3.

But that's just one use for a C3, but I'm sure you can think of many others.

INNOVV IN INDIA

The is the information from India news paper,

Title: Finding India on a Two Wheeler.
The two guys traveled for 44 days, 16000 km across India on that motorcycle on the picture. One is a photographer and the second guy is the Secretary of a Rider's Club here. The trip was a self sponsored one to spread awareness about organ transplant across India. Next they are planning a European trip for the same.

What is the special?

Inside the red box you can find an Innovv C1 mounted on the handlebar with the weatherproof case. the camera stood well in the harsh Indian climate.

We learned the above information from our distributors in India, they sponsored the Innovv C1 to two guys running across the India to let people know how good the camera is, and would keep sponsor their wheeling across Europe. 

More than that, you can see below photos.

They are thinking how to the best present Innovv to people and making such marketing stuff.

As the developer and manufacturer of Innovv, we are so exciting to see their great ambition in India and we’d like to do our fully support to them and win customers in India.
