Looking forward to the K3 as well! I trust you’ll be the 1st to review and install it again!
Thank you for the video, mate, from a fellow Scot. :-) Very encouraged to see that you're using velcro, instead of having to drill into panniers and/or mudguards. Ordered my 5K, so I shall be saving this video for later.
Another well explained installation video. It will be good to see what the K3 has to offer.
Nice one, Bruce. As always.
Really well documented install thanks Bruce. My mum tells me I’m special as well 🤪😅
I have these very same gloves, and agree with your review they’re absolutely top notch.
I have the jacket (Jaykit) too, thats also first class. Just wish I’d got the heated stuff years ago. I have them rigged up to the battery, I dont mind the wires.
Cheers Bruce, great video and very thorough!
We aren’t the special ones Bruce you are keeping us entertained during these depressing times we salute you sir and thank you for everything you do for us bikers keep up the great work and continue to “life your life” just as you inspire us to do 🏍🤟
Thank you very much bud 👍
Thanks Teapot great video and good job well done.
Mounted it on a Piaggio MP3 500, took me and 2 friends 5 hours but what a good system 👌
Great video! Very helpful
I will deffo be visiting you in the near future 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
An excellent video in every aspect. Thanks.
Cheers 👍
Nice vid, cables nightmare in front cowl. Big front unit for some t**t to pull off
I really do agree with the issues of where and how the DVR unit connects to everything else. Having those connectors so close to it is definitely an oversight by Innov, they along with the fuse for the power unit should be right my the power unit itself. It's under the seat or behind a panel depending on bike, and it makes far more sense to keep connections away and out of as much weather as possible.
Great install video and explanantion. You deserve more subs mate.
Thanks very much bud 👍
Impressive informative brilliantly presented. You're the man......
That’s very kind indeed, thank you bud, glad you enjoyed it 👍
I've just ordered the k2 from eBay. 299£ cheers tea pot 👌
suggest you invest in a few garage heaters...lol. loved the 3 way chat thing you did the other day with LR and AMC..never laughed so much during the covid , whilst doing forced painting and decorating .keep them coming.
Well done Santa Klaus!
Ive got garage envy!
Great vid dude.... cant beat a good bit of velcro
It’s rapidly attaining gaffa-tape status! 👍
@@teapotone 👍
Brilliant guide
The only think i hope gets my approval is to use some heat shrink on the black wire that's not used rather than "tape"
Great Video
Best regards Shaun
Really neat install. Does the gps work ok under the plastic panel? Thought it had to be external/unobstructed?
Nice vid Bruce, but if I decide to get one I'll wait for the mark2 version. For the so called "flagship" product, the way they have designed the cable layout is just crap! IMHO of course.
Good video.
And nice mancave. But where is the beer fridge? Prioritues geezer.
Nice one, happy travels
Good Stuff....
Good install video, you made a tidy job of a rather difficult set up.
The K5 wiring, not the best, but, as you said in the review video, the only way they can do it for the price bracket........hey ho.
Grumps.
Thanks!
Thank you very much Michael 👍
Nice video! How did you feed all wires to unit with the new mounting bracket? The wires are bulky.
Good job Teapot!! I've still to order it yet. I assume all the stuff you installed is all included in the K5 kit box etc, no extra's to order...?
How long did it take you to do this install? Great vid! Thanks!
I Just installed mine too. Your video was helpful. I have one question: Where did you connect the switched plus, yellow wire, in the rear. I dont't find anything under the passenger seat.
Agree the wires should be longer from the DVR module
Would be really nice if u could make a video or explain how to connect the yellow cable properly if we don’t have the (hex easycan) that u already have ,
Nice hoddy Bruce
This episode, should be sponsored by 3M Velcro ^_^ I dont think I want to install such a mess in my RT, goodness, its a lot of pannels to take away to install it lol
I have a microphone mounted in the tailpiece (FZ6 S2), it's either connected to a camera mounted on the front or MP3 recorder, get the sound of the exhaust pipes and gearbox
Drink every time Bruce says HERE...🥴🏴😃
Thanks Bruce. Nice vid. as usual. Keep on posting. BTW: the World Superbike Assen 2021 will be at the weekend of 23ht till 25th of July.
( assuming Covid19 has been defeated) You are welcome.
Now that could be a great roadtrip 😉👍
Hey Teapot! Great work on all your insights. I'm looking at the K5 and wondering if you experience any video "shake" or if the stabilization handles it well?
Hi Dave,
I’ve not noticed any considerable shake on any of them tbh. It’s not as stable as the likes of GoPro and Osmo, but they’re not action cameras, they’re dashcams, so the quality is superb for that.
Despite the connection plugs being waterproof its still best practise to cover the metal plugs with insulating tape for protection.
Hi, nice video! Yesterday I installed K5 to my R1200GS and have few questions if you can help. As I see from your video as well as from videos of other vloggers who installed K5: WiFi starts to work after starting engine only, but not before (after switching on ignition). if you just switch on the ignition even leds of remote control unit do not light or flash, right? So what is the purpose in this case of connecting yellow ACC cable to positive ignition supply? I have connected yellow ACC to ezcan to the output to additional tail/stop light so when I switch on ignition my additional tail lights starts to work but may be it has too weak signal to make K5 work as add-tail lights are configured in ezcan to light not bright …
I'm really keen on getting a fixed camera on the bike, as a dashcam. But I never want to interact with it, it must just upload to the cloud automatically when I get home and then free up the storage. Rinse repeat.
Nice bit of video Brucey. Very well done although it concerns me how clean your GS is ! Has Mrs Teapot been sneaking home early from the office to clean your bike ?
Ha Ha now come on My Lord, you know Mrs Teapot doesn’t do ANY cleaning around the house!
I had my bike treated by my mates company - SuperShield Automotive (SuperShieldauto.co.uk) so it stays showroom condition all the time now, just needs a quick rinse off and she’s good as new 😉👍
Sir. I see many videos about installing the camera. I would like to see a video of how it is used. How you record it (I know it starts recording itself but) how you setup the cameras before you ride. How you use the app; how you download it on your computer. I know this is an old video and I anticipate you are still using K5. I ride a ZX-10R here in the US and there are not very many places to put the DVR and run the cable. if you don't mind making a video of all that for both the K3 and K5. Thank You in advance.
I think they’ve made that a very difficult installation regarding getting all those cables to the front of the bike and not as covert as the K2, not for me I won’t be upgrading.
Totally agree. I have just installed a K2 and much prefer the design.
completely agree with you.. I was hoping to upgrade from K2, but after seeing this, there is no way that I will.. really bad design putting the control box with the front camera
Why move from under seat , crazy
It’s due to the limitations of the 4K front camera. It’s not possible to get the 4K ‘info’ down a cable to a separate DVR module (not at this price range anyway), so the DVR module had to be integrated into the camera.
There’s a new K3 system coming out which is upgraded 1080 cameras like the K2, but with the faster Wi-fi, better gps, remote and mic of the K5👍
@@teapotone thanks.. I think I will wait for that.. its been a while.. how do u like that massive front camera out the front of your GS?
Good video Bruce . Don’t like the new ‘flagship’ camera is way to big wiring is a mess, they are trying to beat a GoPro for quality with this unit and it won’t, sorry I will stick with my C5, it’s brilliant.
I think I share your thoughts, 1 big step forward but 3 steps back, looks like the desire for 4k has happened before the designers are capable of putting it into a practical module, k3 if I was to buy I'm afraid. For the Gs the 4k camera has to be mounted with the built in mounting hole to a bracket as you shown, on top of beak nah sorry.
Great instruction vid.But that is a really awkward ugly unit that is not user friendly at all fancy the K2 unit though cheers Bruce
Do you need to connect the gsp and controller? Or can it still be used without them?
It would almost be better to mount the combined camera/recorder box at the back of the bike....
I have a K1 on my BMW K1600, with the front camera in the oil cooler duct below the headlight. I don't have room there for the K5's many wires and connectors. It might fit if the wires were 5 inches longer so the connectors would have room. I'll have to find something else. (The K1 loses it's time and date when the battery runs down.)
Nice video Bruce. I don't know why I watched the whole thing as not only do I not have an INNOV camera system but I don't have a bike at the moment! lol Anyway, nice to see how it all goes together! One thing I would mention is, I know we spoke about the possibility of dirt and spray kicking up from the front wheel onto your front camera, I find that on my e-bike I get water kicking up off the forward facing mudguard and the wind blows it back up over the front of the bike and even up to my face. Might not be as much of an issue for you but something to think about? Cheers!
Thanks bud, aye that’s something you’ll never avoid I’m afraid. Wherever you put a camera, it’ll always be affected by moisture and dirt in the air - even if you put it behind a screen, the screen will just get dirty and block the cameras view.
I think the issue is these cameras are fixed in position so they don’t benefit from movement as much as a head mounted cameras does - so the turbulent air is constantly changing direction across the helmet can lens, and therefore it keeps cleaner for longer 🤷♂️👍
@@teapotone Very true.
I have a K2 on my GS and I like the idea of better video (4K) and sound. However, the design of this K5 means I will not be changing my setup as the new camera/wiring is just too cumbersome. I appreciate the video though, thanks.
Thanks bud, the new K3 which is due out soon will be the one most people go for I reckon 👍
I didn't like installing my back camera to the side, so I attached it above the back light. Also, why didn't you connect the whole thing to the Hex EasyCan?!
Quick question, does it come with the hardware to install in the fist position you show in the video? (Just above the light) appreciate a response. Great video.
They come with a selection of mounts bud, all detailed on the website 👍
I have a question here boss. The hex ez can I can use later if I do wish to add ie denali lights etc or I do to do something differently? Your video made me order this K5 from innovv. Thanks for the great review
Cheers,
You don’t have to use the HexEZcan,
You can just wire into another triggered live feed like your indicators, horn etc.
But the EZCan makes life very simple 👍
@@teapotone Thank you plan is to add light later if Madam Secretary approves it😉😉😂 Cheers from Arizona
Hi Teapot - Great video on the install of innovv K5 - question should the blue light on the DC Convertor stay on all the time even when bike is not on - i set mine up and i am concerned about that blue light draining battery life. Q2 -on the K5 set up you connected the yellow wire from DC convertor to something different. i have a 2018 BMW1200GSA and set mine going to the the red/blue wire that you did for K2 - seems to work but the option of running it the rear looked much easier - can you do that on 2018 model or is that piece only available on 1250?
Yes the blue light should stay on all the time - the DC converter has optimal battery technology so if it detects that the voltage of the battery is below a certain point, it deactivates the park mode and goes into standby.
I connect my systems using a Hex EzCan
How does the fuse look?
5amp orange?
Great video - but such a shame that all the core technology is not held in a unit that can be stored under the seat or in the tail area and remote out to 2 x 4K Cameras by single data link cables........ so I’ll pass on this one unfortunately :(
Excellent review as always. Slightly big unit but I understand why... however, what I don't understand is the need to be able to access the SD card, surely it's a fit and forget as everything is via the app? you don't have to take the SD card our to transfer to a PC like you do on some helmet cam's do you?
You can transfer files via the app onto your phone, then transfer from your phone to your computer - but if you want a lot of files it would just be quicker to take the SD card out and whack it in your computer.
@@teapotone Ok that's useful info, many thanks, ride safe.
Wouldn't it be nice if bikes had a wiring conduit/pipe running forward and aft inside the frame, from a generously empty accessory fuse panel under the seat? 🤔 Between my GPS, volt meter, heated grips, USB, Power Commander, smart taillight, and charger connection, my bike is a rats nest of wires!
I have yamaha jog ay01 scooter with front basket on it. So these front camera connection wires look too short - to install it on this basket(
Hi TP do you have your innovv link as it doesn’t seem to be working
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great install video Bruce, well done! As for the product: so, for they're flagship system, they decided to make it bulkier and more difficult to install it?? Interesting move, for sure!!
Hi I have s1000xr 2017 , wanted to install K5 , but BMW dealer said it will give lot of error codes if I try to do it and try to tap on to Tail light cable for the K5 yellow cable .
Is it true ? They said they will charge me 1500 $ in Sydney to do this job.
I am confused.
Hi, can I connect to rear light for the yellow wire for switched live? as I don’t have any additional canbus modules?
If it’s a modern BMW then you will have a canbus loom so don’t hack into a switch live unless you know what you’re doing.
If you don’t have a canbus loom, then yep the switched live at the rear light is a good option
@@teapotone thanks for your help, bmw have said there is a switched live fuse under the front seat, will take a look
Along with a lot of other people i don't like all the cables running to the front is there any reason why the front camera cant be mounted an the rear?
You can mount it anywhere you like bud - Chase on Two Wheels actually mounted his 4K cam to the rear and the 1080 at the front 👍
Hi there mate
Here an interesting problem for you I have a Can Am F3 Spyder As I have a front Screen my thought at the moment is to have it behind the screen and the wiring has its own problems🙂do you have any ideas that may help>
Hello bud,
No sorry I don’t, I’ve never even been up close to a Can Am🤷♂️
@@teapotone Hello Mate
I have an idea that is to install every thing leaving enough cable on the DVR so I can movr it about to get the best picture then secure it as I am going to try behint the screen.
I was having doubts between the K2 & the new K5, now that I have also seen this installation video of you, I am going to buy the K2 anyway.
The front camera of the K5 is really too big with the module built in and the connections are not ideal compared to the K2.
I don't have a Hex ezcan, where can I best connect the yellow wire to my 1200 GS LC Adventure?
Regards,
Stephan
Stephan do NOT buy the K2!
There is a new K3 coming out soon (I’m just doing some beta testing with INNOVV just now to iron out the bugs) and it has a remote and external mic like the K5 (Wi-fi is much slower though).
At the very least I’d go for the K3, but personally I’d now spend my own money on the K5. The better image quality, and faster Wi-fi make the whole thing much better to live with day to day, weirdly I also think the mic quality is better somehow.
I’ve put the K3 and K5 systems on and off my bike many times now, and the K5 is actually much easier to install.
@@teapotone Thank you for your comment, you are not making it easier for me to decide haha.
4K image is more interesting, of course, but the smaller camera is nicer to build away instead of that large model of the K5.
But you actually say buy the K3 :-).
Regards,
Stephan from The Netherlands
I said I’d go for the K3 BEFORE it had been sent to me, as I was initially out off by the size of the K5 front camera.
However after now using the K3 for a while, I’d personally spend my money on the K5 as it’s a better system and easier to install/use overall
I don’t have the Hex easy can … so I don’t have any other way to do it other then taping the cable .
I’ve heard you talk about this on the podcast and even found a local supplier - however having watched this I think I’ll be waiting for the K3, for the reasons outlined already. The DVR unit is relatively huge and those cables would mess with my OCD too much.
Do you ‘really’ need 4K or is 1080 sufficient when you consider if only be using it as an insurance, and unlikely to be using any footage for a Spielberg blockbuster.
I’d have previously said 1080 was fine - but now, having had both, I’d say go 4K all dat long - far clearer image so better for insurance purposes etc.
I’ve a comparison vid coming
@@teapotone yeah I’m sure you’re right. Still remember when HD started and we thought it was amazing - then 4K started and that’s the new standard.
You can almost guarantee that when you really need it, the rego on the car that does you wrong will be unreadable and you’ll wish you had the better quality.
That’s exactly my thoughts now with the 4K that the K5 provides.
When you pause the vid, you can still read most number plates on the K5 with 4k, but it’s near on impossible with the 1080 of the K2 or K3 a lot of the time 🤷♂️
Is this work like gps tracking system ?
👍
why not run power From the hex ez can instead of the battery? (Assuming u don’t want the parking guard feature)
Because that’s not how the system is designed.
Contact INNOVV if you’d like specifics bud, I don’t know any of the technicalities, I just wore it up as the instructions say 🤷♂️
Did you forget to add the full K5 review link - its blank ???
How do you upload the video when you are done. Is there a way to upload to an iPad without sitting by the bike
You can download the footage over wifi via the app, but if you want lots of footage then this will take quite a while.
I’d just get an sd card reader dongle, then take the sd card out the unit and do it that way
For a Luddite like me, how do I get to see the footage files? Cheers👍
th-cam.com/video/RYSF226EuRc/w-d-xo.html
Great video Bruce. Please do not run your scooter in the garage without a door open. you could fall asleep without realizing it.
I’d need to leave it running a LONG time bud
Nobody tried the G-sensor? How does it work, For accidents or when someone moves the bike?
It has various levels of sensitivity, I have it on the lightest/least sensitive, and it still activates when I move my bike off the stand in sparking mode
@@teapotone But sensitivity is only when engine is Off? Because when you ride you get bumps, it will fill up the memory after some time. Right or I'm mistaking?
No I think ‘Sensitivity’ is an overall thing - and yes it does ‘lock files’ and put them into ‘Protected’ or ‘Accident’ folders if the G-sensor detects sufficient movement, but as I said I have it on the least sensitive setting and it’s not too bad.
It still does mark the odd file as protected or accident when it doesn’t need to be, but it’s not horrendous at it.
I’d just say at the end of each month, reformat your SD-card to ensure you wipe everything clean if you don’t need the files 👍
@@teapotone Yes, indeed. Have to adapt. :-)
...... now hear me out on this before you all start rolling about laughing! ......... given that a lot of incidents with bikes involve rear end shunts, and given that there are a lot of cables on the V5 unit - is there any merit in fitting the 4K camera to the rear? There’s more room in the tail section of most road bikes compared to the front - ok....... you can all laugh now! 😀👍
That’s what Chase on 2 Wheels did - you can fit the cameras anyway round you like 👍
Initially I didn’t like the setup of the K5 and wished they’d gone back to the central DVR and 2 separate cameras layout like the K2.
I’ve been testing the new K3 for the last few weeks which is just like the K2 but has the remote and external mic of the K5.
My opinion has now changed and I much prefer the setup of the K5 now, it’s just much easier to install and is actually a more simple layout.
There’s no hiding that big 4K camera though, unless you cut holes in plastics etc
I feel completely incompetent now. I can’t even figure out where to put the camera, much less where to route cables. I think I’m going to return it and just get a GoPro.
Does this system have any image stabilization?
No Bob
Before I had posed the image stabilization question to you, I emailed Innov and asked. I just got a reply back from them and they replied that the K5 does indeed have electronic stabilization. Do you think that may fall into the same category as an “electronic zoom”, not real image stabilization but kind of....?
I don’t know Bob. I wasn’t aware it had any stabilisation as it didn’t say on the website and it was never mentioned to me, and looking at the footage it looked perfectly fine to me so I never thought it was an issue to bring up tbh 🤷♂️
Lowkey PacMan on that remote
Cabling seems a bit backward with everything having to run to the front of the bike, when traditionally there would be more space and hiding options towards the rear. Another quality video though pal.
Thanks man, aye that’s what I thought to, just doesn’t seem very well thought out for a motorcycle orientated system - especially when you look at how good the K2 was?
But I know the new K3 system goes back to the K2 format, just with upgraded cameras (still 1080) and with upgraded Wi-fi, gps, external mic and remote 👍
@@teapotone Ah ok so really if someone is tempted by the system they would be better to buy the K3 when it comes out?
I reckon so yes, going by the info INNOVV UK have told me so far, the K3 is likely to be the unit most folk will go for.
It's like they have gone backwards with the easy installation!!, all those wires and such a big unit up front, not for me if I was to buy one it would be the k2, sorry.
Camera looks way to big, OK and a big old BMW like yours but on smaller bikes a no go, also all those connection cables at the front not good. The K2 setup is way better for installing.
Yep 👍
Aint it too easy to be stolen? I mean, just unscrew the camera from its stand?
Heh Bruce,
Hope your well mate,I don’t do Facebook n such like but,need some help/advice moving forward into 2022,planning world ride,just took delivery of my ajp for the trip and want to start planning!
I’m not going to waste the opportunity of raising money for those who need it mate,if I can get some sponsorship and help and was thinking perhaps the children’s cancer charity.I would be so greatly appreciative of any advice and help you could give me👍
Tel😜
Nice vid mate, but has the other half trimmed your beard? Must be or you’ve lost a stone
A complete design failure... way too much faffing around with cables, the SD card is in a stupid place and overall a rubbish design. A good idea let down by a design disaster. Sorry innov but I'll stick with the K2. Nice one Bruce and thanks for sharing.
No link? Really?
Looks bulky and cumbersome up front, i think innov have slipped up here. The K2 looks like a much better option- being unobtrusive yet efficient, do you really need 4k for dashcam footage ??
No I don’t think you do bud, 4K is useful for blog footage but for this type of use 1080 is ample - frame and bit rate are much more crucial. High bitrate and 60fps at 1080 is perfect for dashcam use.
The new K3 system coming out soon will fit the bill nicely
@@teapotone I saw the K3 on there website is that new? Is it newer than the K5
Yes it’s brand new, not available to the public yet, but coming very soon.
I’ve just installed it and am currently testing for review
@@teapotone Definitely keep me posted. I’m interested in the K5 but will wait on the K3 review before pulling the trigger. When do you think the K3 will be available to the public
I think it’s a matter of weeks bud
Why not just mount it behind your windscreen?
Your screen will still get dirty and wet though, so what’s the point?
@@teapotone it might give you a less obstructed field of view
@@teapotone my F750GS does not have that gap in the front where you installed yours. So I guess my question should have been CAN you install it behind the windshield.
Yes bud, you can install it anywhere as long as you can get access, and either bolt to an existing mount point, or secure the camera somehow wherever you want it.
It might yes - but on some bikes it may give you an even more obstructed? It’s entirely down to your bike and how you want the setup to be
Good job but what a mess of an installation with wiring. That's enough to make me pass on the K5.
Seemingly designed by a company that have never had to install anything on a bike! Very poor product design for the intended market - will be waiting for the nest iteration that is more appropriate for the intended environment. I think this will not be at all well received.
That is such a rubbish design sorry but looks rubbish
Way too easy to steal if it has to be mounted in the open as in this video. At least with the K2/K3 and similar products if some idiot with a knife makes off with your cameras you still have the main module hidden under the seat containing your videos and you can just get new cameras for it. I'm surprised this design made it beyond the prototype phase - it will be interesting to see how many they sell.
