INNOVV K2 Motorcycle Dash Cam - Easy Step by Step Install Guide via Hex eZcan
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 окт 2024
- The Innovv K2 motorcycle dash cam is the leading dual motorcycle camera system with great 1080p, 120 degree field of view recording front and rear, to give you total security at all times. This vid takes you through the Innovv k2 installation on a BMW R1250GS, but the process is very similar on all bikes. This vid also incorporates the Hex eZcan Gen II to provide the switched live feed to the Innovv K2 motorcycle camera.
It's an easy step by step guide that absolutely anyone can follow. I also include some test footage from the maiden ride with the cameras so check them out at the end of the vid.

Give up this work, your not at all good at it.
You’re awesome though, please teach me 🙏👋
@Equaliser. You’re not at all good at spelling, maybe you should give up writing?
teapotone Bruce, is this what you have to put up with?
Ha Ha sadly yes bud, it’s part and parcel of putting yourself out there I’m afraid - Bell Ends occasionally rear their empty heads 😉👍😂
teapotone 😂😂looking forward to meeting you someday!
Thanks for the link Bruce 👍🏻 new GSA arriving 1st September so got to do it all again. People will tell you the GPS won’t work unless flat but every time I’ve needed it (eg speeding stop to check actual. It matched!!) it’s been working fine. Interested to see what’s coming too as if the quality was just 10% better and ease of transfer easier I’d use more footage recreationally as it’s always on when GoPro has let you down!! Ride safe 👍🏻
Hi Nick,
No bother at all bud, your vid was a big help with the GPS as mine works fine too - after I enabled it in the app 🤦♂️😂👍
Another great vid Bruce, liking the slightly different content from the normal stuff, especially the dancing💃 . you've just convinced me to get one. Just need to convince her indoors lol. 👍
You are Guilty, because of this great video I bought myself a K2 as I don’t need more than that, today I installed and I’m pretty happy with it, I still have to test it more but the season has not arrive 100% so thanks for the videos and great camera from Innovv
Between yourself and Mr Flyer your costing me a fortune. Great easy to follow video thanks will invest in cameras when I get my Tiger in March.
I bought it as well when I bought my new bike a year ago, just in case I'm rear ended or someone pulls out in front of me. It also doubles somewhat as a normal camera for group rides, the pictures are great quality.
Just put the k3 on my bike.. what a total beeeb of a job!!! Took me about a day and a half
Wow, what bike was that?
I know. Maybe it’s just me though 😂
21 s1000r
Aye it’s quite daunting initially isn’t it as you don’t want to screw it up. I’ve installed them a couple of times now and it’s a lot quicker 👍
Enjoyed that. Am I the guy who you were referring to as 'screaming'? 😂. Looks like a good job Bruce! Not how I do it but I do fit about 2 of these a week and have the tools to strip these bikes down in minutes. Tank off etc. Messes with my OCD's seeing wires running between trim and tank. Anyway, let me know if you want any denali equipment. I'll sort you out! 👍🏽
Teapot I just ran across your channel as I was searching for an install vid. GREAT job with explanations, camera work and super kuddos on getting the VO level out front of your music bed. Very important and you nailed it!
I bought a K2 about 3 months ago and have only just ironed out a problem that's existed from day one. It connected to wifi ok but would only record for 6-7 mins before switching itself off. It was then switching on and off over the course of a long ride and i was getting something like 40% footage captured - not great when you consider why you fit one. Anyway, cutting to the chase, I discovered that the convertor was overheating and cutting out. I'd fitted that beneath the driver seat (just like almost everyone else has) I moved it to behind the small side panel you've used for the GPS and all is now sweet!
Innovv have produced a new convertor thats good up to 75c following complaints. PS ignore EqwaloyzaZ comentz
Cheers Gerry,
Ah ok, yes they did say they’d improved the converter but I didn’t realise it had had issues with overheating?
All seems good for me at the moment thankfully, but appreciate the heads up 👍
Awesome guide! In another dimension/life, you are/were a teacher. You've gotta create a "screenshots" folder though to clean up your desktop.
Another top tip. Most modern motos have fused switched live feeds already fitted for optional, expensive extras such heated seats and other such pish they want to flog you. I used my own Yamahas very same switched live hiden away under yes you guessed it, the seat; to wire in yon required switched live feed and the +power feed and -neutral to the Inovv K5, what I fitted. Means you don't need to wire to the battery at all. Safety third...
Thank you so much for sharing god bless you brother 👍🏼
Hey Teapotone... Great footage and reviews. Whilst watching had an ah-ha moment as I recognised the A229, a road you were on in my neck of the woods! Maybe could meet up for a ride at some point!?
Hi TeapotOne, great video of fitting the Innovv K2, I looked at this unit last year, you have inspired me to go and purchase one.
Great job Bruce!👍 That VW camper looks in great condition, is like that all round? Loving the vids, keep them coming!👍
Looks a beauty eh!......would love to see that one day....
I think we need a Campervan walk around Bruce!
Great vid Bruce and you’re looking really well mate. The stress of the job appears to have left your body!
Ha Ha thanks man, aye I’ve never felt happier ta 👍
Keep thinking about getting one too. But one for each bike?? Or none. Then there are the cars!! Cheers Bruce very clear video.
Did we not pop one on yours when we put the denali lights on?
A BIKE THING no cameras on my bike, just lots of lights and the horn! Strobe proved useful to get campervans to move over on the single track around the top of Scotland this week.
Smart job there Bruce. You now just need to dangle a light aircraft engine and propeller from the inside of your garage roof (with a fuel tank in the rafters) and then you look set to survive another warm summer. Perhaps TMF can help you out with a spare aircraft engine?
Nice easy to follow install instructional vid. I've heard of Bay Window campers being termed a shed, (if it is a particularly grotty, rust-riddled bus) but I can see yours is being used as just that, storing lots of stuff. BTW, it looks a lot nicer than the 1973 one I had.
It’s my wife’s Bus, she stores stuff in it when she’s not using it 🤦♂️🤷♂️
Great informative vid, might invest on the 850ADV, keep em coming chap.
Great video Bruce. Well explained! I find my 1250 GSA engine gives off a lot of heat from under my right leg. My 2017 1200 GS didn’t do this. So don’t worry about the wiring! 👍🏻
Top Tip! Use a tiny bit of Meguiars glass sealant on the camera lenses to keep then rain free during periods of er, rain. Also works brilliantly on mirrors and all other things glass.
Great tip, cheers bud 👍👏
You’ll be starting your own fitting service next lol great video again well done
Ha Ha thanks bud 👍🙏
Excellent evidential camera system that sits on my GS too. My mate's just fitted it to his bike himself but I'd like to give a shout out to Phil @ Moto-Mate near Ely (approved installer) who fitted mine last year for me. Nice bloke with excellent aftersales service. Entertaining easy to follow vid Bruce so thanks for posting!
Nice one Bruce thanks for the info. The old bill show very little interest without vids to prove it. Don’t ask how I know. Cheers
Good morning Bruce, Thank you for the video!!good job! Take care and stay safe 👍😎🇬🇧.
Great review and tutorial, thank you.
Cheers Lisa, glad you enjoyed it 👍
great video. Sound from the Innov sounds like its underwater. I contacted Innov UK via their website and by email 3 or 4 times over the last month asking about the K2 and their new model but they failed to reply any of my emails etc. Very nice system, perfect for the job intended, just a shame the company is so unresponsive.
That’s honestly not like them at all tbh bud, they’re usually very good at replying.
Drop them a line via social media 👍
Many thanks, I think I have it but will have a quick review over with Nick just in case..
Hey Bruce, if you want, you could think about knocking up a reg plate cover with your logo on for these workshop vids, so you don't have to remember to blur it out.
Great idea 👍
Bruce your video quality is great. dont underestimate your talent :)
Thanks bud, that's very kind of you
Cheers! Clean install and enjoyable video.
from Québec Canada nice job and funny vidéos
Thanks Mario 👍
Another great video Bruce! Really enjoyed watching the content as usual! Also, really like the idea/concept of the Innov K2 system however, for me, it would need to be a 4K system (or at least a 2.7 K) system with a decent bit rate and image stabilisation! I’d want the system to act as both a standard dashcam for any traffic incidents/evidence but also as a convenient system for filming rides while on holiday! So the better quality would benefit both, even if it’s not strictly necessary for dashcam use! Regarding dashcam specifically, I’d be interested to know how it performs at night? What’s up also, if Innov could include the option of a hex eazican (Denali) fitment in the future? Or is that being a bit too specific?!
Hopefully, as you alluded to, some great new developments coming from Innov, so some of my wishes may appear in the future! Looking forward to seeing the developments!
Hey great job mate. Looks like a good product. For some reason however the music reminded
Me of the bullseye tv show from decades ago. 🤣
Wow Even i did understand And i now know that i can do it myself
Thank you for making this video
Thanks for reply I found it and job done
Great video thanks, I ordered the K3 and it arrived today so gonna be in my garage working out how to get it onto my Tiger 1200 XRt... I maybe gone sometime :-)
PS, which Velcro stuff do you use?
Cheers, I use this stuff
amzn.to/2SptTie
It’s a referral link so I make a small amount off each sale
Looks a good bit of kit 👍🏻 Can’t wait you see the long term review
Have a similar system on my MT10, nice to know it’s there just in case. 👍
Had one of these on my previous bike (previous owner fitted it), it was great fun actually, especially the timelapse footage. Could be a good addition to the content as it gives a unique perspective.
I'm uploading a bit of footage atm so others can see what it produces.
Awesome review! Ezcan should be an ideal resolution for power wiring! BlueSkySea motorcycle dashcam worths a look at also!
Nice job Bruce, very good video.
Thanks bud 👍
Great vid nice to see footage on the new gs
Cheers for the vid, monkey see monkey do...... As you've said Innov have some 'updates' coming, think I'll wait n see what fairy dust they sprinkle on their next version.....
Great video......i have just fitted this INNOVV K2 system to my new Tiger Sport......to get/start a video before a journey do i have to via phone app as i'm only getting random 1 minute clips ...... an idiot guide on use would be helpful......cheers
It should start recording automatically as soon as the ignition is on - it’s literally a fit and forget system so you shouldn’t have to do anything at all.
I’ll be doing a more thorough walk through of everything in a forthcoming vid 👍
Excellent video Bruce 👍 can't wait for the next one.
Brilliant install vid, will use this when my times comes to do my own install. Cheers Bruce!
Great review i live in the same area, if i see you ill give you a shout, thinking about KTM you did review on now seeing gs vid not sure wot to do. Not making it easy for me lol, brilliant reviews and information keep it up
THE most detailed install video! great job man!
🖐️ TP one , really interesting video great work dude love the dash cam 👌👌R1 Greg 👍😁
Seems a great idea, thanks for sharing your install vlog.
Well look at you doing quality informative install videos with no assistance 🤣 next you will be doing your Own serviceing videos great video Bruce. is there any chance your old colleges could use this against you if you get pulled over, not sure on the rules on footage 🤪 Any chance of a discount code now they sponsor you ? Keep the great vids coming 👍👍
Nice vedio
May i ask you why the speed recording kmph shown zero? It should measure the bike speed
The GPS wasn’t t working correctly in those clips
looks like the perfect bike cam, nice and discreet
Great video thinking of one myself but can’t afford it at the moment video quality is perfect for a dashcam didn’t you fit a innov system to one of your other bikes but you friend fitted it 🤷♂️
Yep that was the C5 a few years ago
Thanks for your video I’m from the US I ride a Harley Davidson looking for a camera system. I don’t like a GoPro and all that kind of stuff. Plus the safety. I was wondering is this downloadable to my cloud on my iPhone? I know it’s on an SD card that would be for back up but. I would really like to be able to control everything from my phone. Send it to my photos which would put it in my Apple cloud automatically. Any insight would be really awesome dude. Enjoy the weekend God bless brother
Hey Bruce, I’ve just fitted the K3 and your video was very helpful, I would have been lost without it. I mounted the front camera on the double pads as you did; interested to hear how this placement has stood the test of time on your bike. Cheers pal.
Hi Shaun,
Cheers for the feedback and glad you found the vid helpful.
I use the K5 now and moved the front camera up above the headlight utilising the new mount produced by INNOVV.
I was getting quite a bit of movement with the K5, less so with the K3, when mounted on the beak with the pads.
@@teapotone thanks for the info. I can only dream of the K5 at the moment ;)
If I don't have a can bus, will this still work from a switched live? Thanks Bruce 👍
Yes
All sorted quick question what settings do you have the cameras set at bitrate etc
thanks for the video. But you can also take the red + and black - and the yellow wire together and put them into a plug and connect to the ezcan right? No need to attach to battery directly that way.
Hi Bruce, another great video. I noticed on the Innov playback that the road speed was at 00KMPH, is this pre set to be at zero or does it have to be set in the Innov App? 👍👍👍👍
Another great vid Bruce. Slightly off subject but is that your new GSA? I thought you were getting a KTM???? Or have I missed something? Cheers bud!
Impressive install Bruce. I had issues with mine so needed to get my BMW workshop to help. If Innovv can get rid of the built in mic and use an external one instead, it will be much better. All the sound from my footage was unusable. BTW: You need a smaller numberplate...:-)
Nice one the Innovv looks to me as good as the go pro good info thanks I will look into this one . : )
Good video, thanks. But why not connect the K2 completely over the Hex Ezcan? It even has this setup in the manual on page 23/24. + and ground and the striped wire for the ignition switched yellow wire. I’m in the process of installing and this seems the preferred setup....?
Yep you can certainly do that, BUT I’ve been asked loads of times how you do it via the HexEzcan, hence why I did this vid 👍
Nice one Bruce :-) Nice install guide too mate :-)
Cheers Russ 👍
Great video Bruce. I thought that you would have powered the K2 from the Hex eZcan as well as taking the switched 12v supply.
Also, will you use the footage from these cameras in your blogs?
No the power comes from the DC Converter bud.
Yes I’ll incorporate the dashcam footage sometimes into a vid if it’s suitable 👍
@@teapotone I think what he meant was that you could supply the power adapter from the hex, just pair up the + red supply lead and the yellow switched power lead - I've done my V-Sys P6FL (Chinese version of K2) system that way and it all works perfectly.
@@araf4908 You can do this but you lose parking mode
You can do this but you lose parking mode.
Good vid pal. Quick question, is the gps working correctly as the time/date/speed stamp on the vid is showing 000MPH, although date and time is working? Should this not show your speed in case of accident?
Been thinking about cameras/dash cams on the bike for a while....
Do I HAVE to install the EZCAN to make the Innovv camera work, or can I just connect it directly ???
Cheers for the very helpful vids Bruce, really handy.
Ta.
You can install directly, I’m only using the eZCan here because so many people have asked me to show how to do it.
It’s very straight forward installation, just ensure you use a switches live feed so the unit powers on/off from the ignition
Excellent post, thank you.
If Innovv are bringing out a better system as mentioned, is it worth risking it and waiting?
👍🏻
I don’t know if their intended timescales yet tbh bud, I’ll just get given something when they’re ready 🤷♂️👍
Great video Bruce! Can I ask, you plugged the positive and negative cables of the DVR to the battery, why didn't you connect them directly to Hex eZcan as you did with (yellow) switched ignition signal?
Because the DC converter unit has to be wired direct to the battery
@@teapotone Not according to the ezcan instruction manual (pages 23 and 24)
ezCAN PWM/Data pin to Dash cam ignition trigger input
ezCAN 12V+ power pin to Dash cam 12V input
ezCAN ground pin to Dash cam ground
Great Vid.
I want to install this on a 2023 S1000rr but no ez can. Help!!! 😢😢
Hello Sir! Greetings from Stornoway. You sound much like a fellow Scotch chap..there should be more of us on Utube..
I have an RT1200 and I have an INNOV K2 installed. I simply found a switched live under the seat after some trial and error and managed to Tap-in and connect the Yellow wire. it's been working fine. I hadn't heard of the Hex ezcan at that stage..
However...I may be changing my bike and getting the new RT1250 and if so I'll be transferring the K2 to my new bike so I may go the route of using the Hex ezcan since it'll give me more options when it comes to adding accessories.
So, question, Does the Hex ezcan have to be installed on the bike before I configure the port through the Software? Or can I do it on my desktop machine and then install it? I don't have a laptop, just the computer in the hoose.
Thanks!
Hi Iain,
I believe you can confirgure the EZCan on your desktop and then install on the bike 👍
@@teapotone Nice one, I look forward to giving it a go.
Ok just got everything shifted over to the new RT1250 and all working! The battery leads on the EZCan could do with being a bit longer but it's fine.
If you get issues with GPS, The antenna is supposed to point directly to the sky, not 90deg angle and half under a tank :-)
Two cameras in clear view and teapot needs to hide the inconspicuous gps unit away and orient it so it's not ideally facing satellites. Still if it works fine then no worries.
It works fine where it is ta 👍
@@teapotone I guess a thin bit of plastic and a chunky teapot thigh is not enough to block the satellites. You're most likely to have issues in built up area with tall buildings and limited sky view.
Is the GPS speed setting off as the video isn’t showing speed... it’s also set to Km/hr😁.
I need to experiment with the app settings to get the park mode separate from the temporary stop (at lights for example) mode.This is because it puts the stocked footage into different directories on the micro SD card.
Yes the speed was off on the app - turned on and working fine now
Great video well explained.
Cheers Andy, glad you enjoyed it 👍
Nice vijeo, Bruce! 40mins too, someone once told me that’s too long... he might have been wrong though. 🤣👍🏻 Now lets hope my OCD can keep away from rerouting your cables at The Overland Event. 🙃😉 But please put the GPS receiver in view of the satellites (I won’t show my better 3/4 as her head would implode).
Take care bud, and see you in a few weeks, I hope.
Hi Jocke,
GPS works fine where it is bud, no dramas. I’m not at the Overland this year sadly, I’m away on a trip 👍
@@teapotone Good to hear the GPS is working, quite surprising though (still won't show it to my better 3/4!). Have a great time on the trip, you'll be missed at The Overland Event. Let me know if you're passing by Lisbon area. And keep those podcasts coming, they keep me company in The Empire of Dirt. Cheers!
Ha Ha thanks bud.
Yeah I’m gutted to miss the Overland, such a top weekend and always great to see everyone again - this year would’ve been even more special for sure.
Take it easy for now bud 👍
@@teapotone Taking it easy is for the other guys, Bruce! 😎👍🏻👍🏻
Nice one Bruce. Another top quality production. Good lad. One question, does this innov 'cycle record '? As it's on all the time how do you save footage from being re written over?
Hi, I'm an Innovv recognised installer. Lets say you know what time an incident took place so when you've stopped you pull out your phone and hook up to the wifi of the DVR. Find the clip/s you want to save and then transfer them to your device/phone. Done!
I like the cameras mate, quality is decent and clear enough for evidential purposes as you say.
I note you have disabled the speed recording function (makes sense, although potential insurance company query on a claim maybe) but I can't help feeling that with your previous issues some conniving ***** could use the stamped time, plus the footage to do the old Time/distance =speed calculation to try cause issues down the line. That being said I appreciate this is an install vid and a first run with the cameras, so maybe your intention is to crop out these details for future use so apologies if I'm pointing out something you have already considered.
Secondly what about a wee dremmel shaving off the top of the number plate, just a couple of millimetre to remove it from the direct eye line on the rear cam. Appreciate its your choice, and as you say it doesn't adversely affect the field of view. Cheers pal. Kev aka Bungee.
Hi Kev,
I hadn’t actually intentionally disabled it, it’s a function in the App but I hadn’t played with the app at all here, it was simply test footage for the install.
I’ll do a full review of the system once I’ve had it on the bike for a while.
Re possible adverse use of my footage - well you the viewer only see what I choose to show you, so obviously I’ll pick what I show carefully now 😉👍
@@teapotone Absolutely pal, I thought that would be the case. Once bitten twice shy and all that.
I only asked re the speed function as I recall being asked about one of my vids where I used the Rever app and forgot to disable the Max Speed function. Some people just don't want others to have fun. 😂
Look forward to full review and all other upcoming vids. Stay safe.
@@teapotone Bruce, I don't think your GPS antenna is picking up the signal, which is why you are not recording the speed. At the very least the logo on the antenna should be facing outwards from the bike. On my R1250GS I've located the antenna under the fuel tank trim in front of the filler cap. There's plenty of room there and it works well.
As I said bud, it works fine, I just hadn’t enabled it in the app. All set now
Mate honestly, there are some total wallopers out there eh! 🤦♂️😂
Nice vid. One question about your new 1250. Did you get the taller GSA suspension (like on the 1200 Rallye) or the standard GS suspension?
Buena tarde
Estoy en colombia me encanta su didáctica de instrucción , es homologado por la bmw este producto? O puede dañarme la garantía eléctrica de 3 años que trae la moto, e igual me dicen que las luces exploradoras Dinnelli no son homologadas es cierto ? Dónde puedo revisar los productos homologados por BMW para mantener la garantía?
Got one fitted to my Africa Twin. Getting the micro sd card is a bit of a faff, it may get lost forever when you eventually manage to get it out as it then falls into the depths of the bike. The bluetooth download is so so slow its ridiculous . take the card out and load it onto your computer. That said the quality is fine for a few b roll clips and great for if you need it to prove some knob pulled out infront of you!
Aye the SD card is a nightmare isn’t it, that will definitely be in the full review!
I’m really impressed with the footage 👍
Nice vid Bruce 👍🏻
Cheers Paul 👍
love your videos.. but but but.. I have to ask.. have you taken that bike out on the road yet???
Hello chum good viewing I have a different system Vsysto and has similar video quality although I recently broke my front camera (must have been a stone) I wanted something cheap. Can you tell me is the lens glass toughen?
Love the channel keep up the good wk and much respect ✊
Hi Skip,
Yes it’s 6G tempered glass on the lens 👍
its a good idea to turn the speed off incase you need the footage in court. they cant see you going 100 mph.
It is not a big deal to calculate the speed ... you have the framerate of the cam and the moving parts on the video (Delineator posts
with a spec. distance) so it is not a big deal to get the speed
check my video's I can tell you howmany seconds or most of the time howmany tenth of a second they drive behind me
All you need is a reference point
Maybe it needs a feature , only keep video below the legal limit. i.e. When the ignition is next switch off, and then switched on again, automatically wipe video with illegal speeds as part of the shutdown process. Maybe it should prompt "Do you want to erase?" before doing the erase !
I guess GPS mapping , and knowing the speed limit would make it better, but that'd be harder to code than just a blanket rule of "don't keep video where I went over 70 !"
Or if the old bill are that bothered, they simply seIe your phone and can see exactly where you were at what date and time, and work it all out anyway.
@@teapotone true ! but don't want to make it easy for them :)
Mate, awesome vid, could the GPS help locate the bike if it was stolen ?
Thanks Brent.
No, the GPS is active when the ignition is on so power is being delivered to the DVR module, so if your bike ignition isn’t on then no Info is being sent.
Also the gps info isn’t sent to the app, it’s store in each file written on the SD card so you would need that in order to read the gps info.
Excellent video, like many of us, this is on the “purchase” list.
Bruce I believe that in the event of an incident any recording device fixed to the bike can be ceased and it’s contents (including the tracking data) can be used as evidence. If the device is on the person it cannot be. Perhaps you could check out the situation and produce a vlog? Could be very informative. Cheers
Self incriminating
Oddly enough my new FJR has one already installed from its previous owner. I wondered what the heck it was at first.
Why does all people grabbing a soldering iron develop instant parkinsons ? :)
Good system, had the old innov version on my last bike. seems they fixed all the major problems in this new one.
I’ve got really shaken hands full stop bud 😂🤷♂️
Same here, as soon as the iron touches wire my hands are shaking like a shitting dog! And I am an electrician, or was!
😂👍
@@teapotone While I have your attention... LOL.. Can you confirm that the battery drain issue with the k2 is fixed so not going to flatten battery in 2 days.. and.. what sort of drain does parking mode add if it has been fixed?
Yes the battery drain issue is fixed. My tractor has sat for 2 weeks and had no battery issue whatsoever👍
Looks great Bruce! How much is it? Don't know if i'm being incredibly dense, but I can't see a link to it in the description! Will give it a google :) cheers bud!
Sorry bud, just put the link in the description now.
It ranges from £290-£340 at the mo 👍
@@teapotone Ah no worries mate, thought i'd mention it in case you'd forgotten or had an affiliate link!
Cheers :) will add that to my ever-growing shopping list!
Very informative video, but I don't understand why the GPS receiver has to be so far away from the recording device as my car dashcam has it built in and works fine?
Very good video thanks.
Did the GPS work as it did not give any speed reading on that footage, It says 000KMPH. But great video.
Great video whats the easy can used for .as wanted this cameras for my trike can I put yellow wire in key on fuse cheers
The ezcan is for bikes with a Canbus electrical system, like BMW’s etc.
It allows multiple accessories to be wired into a bikes electrical system and be controlled via the bikes existing switchgear.
@@teapotone thanks I've looked at camera thru your link .just wondered if yellow wire b ok on my cbr600f trike as only ride once a week due to work and don't want flat battery 2006 model .are these about good all round as was looking at the bluesea ones .bit confused now .cheers council kev
The INNOVV units have a dc converter unit which monitors your bikes battery and ensures it doesn’t drain your battery flat.
You have to connect the yellow wire to a switched live somewhere on your bike - so the ignition feed, rear brake light, headlight etc
@@teapotone thanks for ur reply and time council kev
Great bit of kit
Great video Bruce, quick question are the lights in your garage LED? If so, how do you avoid flickering when filming? Have tried the "copy footage to 2nd video line, advance 1 frame and set the opacity to 50%" trick but doesn't seem to work for me...
Hi Ted,
No they’re not LeD so I also get the flickering lights issue at times. Apparently it’s to do with frame rates and whether you use PAL or NTSC formats????
@@teapotone Interesting...shall have a play with the GoPro settings, cheers mate
Very nice vid mate... Up the Chelsea!
Hi Bruce, very informative video, I shall be following it step by step. Do you know where the best place is to purchase the K2? Or even better, anyone doing a Hex Ezcan/K2 bundle? :D Cheers!
I will be for the denali smartcan made by Hex.
