Electronics » INNOV K3 dash cams

Been meaning to post this for a while but due to the recent passing of Paul B and another couple of rider friends I know (who also "left the roadway"), I hope this may be informative and possibly help someone with either finding the cause of an accident with some answers for the family or conviction of dangerous drivers who threaten riders.

Although I now ride a "respectable" bike, not the hooligan machines of my youth, there seems to be even more instances of car drivers thinking they can "attack" with impunity. I won't bore you with the details but you know what I'm talking about, swerving into our lane, trying to race us to the next light only to scream at us because we got there first and weren't even racing, brake checking, etc

Besides having a Cardo with a mic to call police I decided to install front and rear cameras on my bike. There are many available and INNOV makes a higher level model called the K5 which has a 4K rated camera for the front but that is also the DVR case so makes the front unit fairly large, I wanted something more discreet and i'm not Vlogging so don't need the higher res.

Installation is straightforward and I'm happy to answer any questions or help, if I can.

Just make sure that people are aware that there is a DVR on the bike should you happen to "make the final transition" doing what we all love to do. We know the risks, we make mistakes, shit happens but we love to ride, besides the old lady there's nothing else i'd rather die riding...... i just don't want a push from some idiot

A few of us went with the K2 system. Only gripes I have are: (1) internal microphone is crap…the K5 has an external microphone to capture cleaner sound, and (2) the firmware was lousy with handling “busy” images (e.g., riding through tree-lined roads)…fortunately an enthusiast on the INNOVV forums had tweaked versions of the firmware that fixed this…albeit at the cost of some of the unit’s functionality.

the K3 also has an external mic and at the moment I'm still playing with the location and sensitivity control. Currently I have it clipped to the Nav bracket and can pick up some sound (intake) from the bike when on the gas but thought it might also pick up at least my end of a "conversation' too.
I do see some issues as you say regarding the busy type scenes but havent checked the video since I did a factory software update. Will check the INNOV forum too as you suggested, thanks for that.

Ever get some intersting footage with yours, that you kept?
