#1 | Installing an Innovv C5 dashcam datum

Thu Dec 10, 2020 9:03 pm

With apologies to Fugly who has missed out on a potential sale I am feeling quite smug that I have managed to acquire a C5 dashcam for 40% of the normal retail via an Ebay auction. The vendor lost out big time!!

I now need to install it. Given that I already have a powerbank and have two bikes I had planned to get a Helmet Cam sometime and rig up something putting the DVR and power bank in my tank bag. I have ordered a power cable USB to DC female barrel connector to allow me to muddle through in that fashion pro tem and play about to get things right.

But, assuming I effect a permanent installation via the bike 12v circuits, where to put the DVR and 12/5v converter and wiring given that I have an alarm installed under the seat on the 1250RS?

Much more pressing where best to mount the lens both permanently and as a first fix to try things out without drilling holes in the bike?

I suppose I might just end up shelling out for cameras on both bikes eventually but ideally I would like to wire in the 12/5v converter and wiring on the 1250RS with the DVR and jack for power easily accessible allowing me to remove it and the lens then mount both of those on my F800GT linked to a powerbank in my tank bag.

Given that it is dark cold and cramped in my garage I thought I would ask here first for suggestions before venturing out and experimenting (in the rain!) this weekend!!

I use the tankbag method for the 12V-5V converter for my Zumo satnav. I can then flip the satnav from RS to XR with ease.

On the RS I have added a 12V accessory socket (standard not DIN) plumbed into a piggy back fuse on an ignition switched live under the seat.

I have my socket on a fly lead clipped to the bars but you could fit it into the dash. I wanted something that could be removed without trace.

I then plug a cheap adapter into the fly lead. This has a 12V outlet and a 5V USB outlet for my phone.

My XR has an accessory socket in the cockpit so it's a simple job to transfer the satnav over to that bike. Each bike has a RAM ball on the bars. The one on the RS attaches to the clutch lever housing and some on her have then used a RAM extension in this location to mount a camera.

Hi Placido,
Well done sir, good result.
On the RS bikes I use a panel mounting screw that is under the headlight. This allows you to locate the lens off centre so there is no risk of the mudguard hitting it on full compression and gives a clear view for video.
If I can be of any assistance give me a shout.
Also, ensure you use a Class 10 U3 grade of memory card.
