About this deal

Screen Preview layout – selectable with either F, R, F&R or R&F layouts, with the secondary view residing in the upper left corner

Remote Control (RC) Module – a small, sealed box housing with integrated cable and 6-pin (M) waterproof connector. The face of the RC has a stylized 3-LED display in the top half for the Recording, GPS, and WiFi functions with a Function Button sitting below the LEDs. Media in this folder is protected and identifiable by a ‘P’ added to the ‘F’ or ‘R’ identifier in the file name. This media is not overwritten by any Continuous loop recording. Accident – during normal use of the K5 system and if a median setting for the G-Sensor sliding scale has been done, a significant fall or impact as might occur during an accident of some sort activates this mode with ongoing loop video saved to the Accident Folder. Media in this folder is protected and identifiable by the letter ‘G’ added to the ‘F’ and ‘R’ identifier in the file name. Media in this folder is protected and cannot be overwritten by any Continuous loop recording.INNOVV continues to tweak or add enhancements to the INNOVV K5 system in preparation for its formal release and as such, a firmware update was anticipated and with the provided link action, now installed (FW IK5_20201204_V05.5hz). The steps below detail the process. Now on the WIFI receiver, we have a relatively short pigtail to work with there and I know the purpose for that is obviously it needs to be out in the open that can’t be hidden behind bodywork or anywhere it wouldn’t do its job.

There is no doubt that the K5 is innovative and it is obviously different, at least when compared to the current INNOVV K2 product, and not just because it uses a 4K front camera but also because the 4K front lens is actually integrated with the DVR module. And so far, using the pre-release INNOVV K5 system remains a positive experience and it seems the INNOVV team is well along the way in finalizing the K5 and readying it for a formal release. Camera Resolution Settings Time-Lapse Video settings – if continuous recordings are desired, then this setting is set to OFF, otherwise frame intervals of 100/200/300/500ms or 1s are provided for GPS Module – the original GPS module found with earlier INNOVV systems tended to be a bit weak receiver-wise and a clear line of sight positioning worked best – as when mounted to the windscreen or another high point on the motorcycle.

The one thing that I would point out on the remote control button is that beveled edge depending on the position of the button, and how you align it to where you sit. I can catch a lot of light so I did end up just coloring around the edge of that bevel. And if I had it to install again I probably would take that into consideration when I was placing it, looks super sharp and it’s just probably a half an hour a day that it happens to catch the light just right, so one thing to maybe take into consideration when you’re thinking about where to put that button. Bit Rate – the (video) sampling Bit Rate (bits transmitted per second) is also selectable: Low, Normal, Height (High) and Maximum – the setting currently used. This setting has more of a resource bill, but (can) provide better overall video capture. This grouping isn’t tidy, but it is functional and accessible. A large section of 2-inch heat shrink and a couple of zip ties keep this bundle together and secured, with the WiFi antenna housing on its short thin cable sitting by itself, nestled between the bundle and side plastic.

From a rear lens perspective, video from either the 1080P @ 30FPS or 720P @ 60FPS resolution settings is also excellent – far better than the K2 units and, better than the fixed 1080P @ 30FPS of two other systems here. x K5 DVR module with integrated front lens/camera, five integrated flying lead cables with keyed colour-coded multi-pin M/F waterproof connectors and WiFi antenna housingIt would be great to have a 90-degree interval setting, but this would involve redesign and resizing of the module to accommodate everything, but one could hope. Recording Settings (including User Selectable Data): wBW has, over the years, reviewed virtually everything marketed by INNOVV and I have been fortunate enough to do many of them, including the original INNOVV K1, its replacement the K2, the single channel C5 system and the Power Hub variants. Microphone volume settings – OFF or 20/40/60/80/100% are provided, this is a dynamic change feature although it does not ‘save’ any change and reverts to default (20) on the next startup (firmware fix needed here) The INNOVV K5 ‘Dash Cam’ (a poor moniker), whether in pre-release form or as will be available soon in release form is indeed more of an “Action Cam” than anything else, despite the fact that it does have some mobility limitations; although that depends on the platform it is mounted on and of course, the user. Additional comments regarding settings and other amplifying information is also provided in the respective sections below.

Maximum resolution of the front lens is 4K @ 30FPS, with a 120-degree field of view, 7-Glass +1IR and a F1.8 aperture. And its seldom that these camera systems don’t have externally accessed media storage and some form of USB interface – an interface that is capable of providing not just the data interface but the standard voltage required to power the module, so the system’s WiFi feature is usable without having the ignition on or the motorcycle running.If some devices experience difficulties in discovering the K5 LAN ID, try putting the device into Airplane or Travel mode to restrict external or internet connectivity and then turn on (just) the WiFi – the K5 LAN ID should appear and be connectable. This approach also works well with the VIOFO MT1 system. So the k5 is designed as a dash cam but it really is an incredible action cam. You’ve got the 4k upfront, the 1080 in the rear. It’s just a really good camera system.
