INNOVV K5 Review - Motorcycle 4K Dual Camera System

[@QuikyTortoise]

Open local tip... 8.24 minutes in, you go past the Kings head in Boxley... Damn fine pub with good food and a good pub garden.

[@TheGorillaBiker]

Honestly what I'm most impressed about is them listening to feedback so effectively. The cameras are good for a dashcam, no doubt, but them actually listening. Brilliant.

[@teapotone]

Aye they really do seem to want to produce kit that we bikers want, so they are keen to listen to feedback and adapt where necessary 👍

[@KDSchiester]

They don’t listen that well. I’ve been trying for a year to get them to put explanations of settings IN THE SOFTWARE…..it’s a great camera but crap software that leaves users wondering how to use it or set it up so you don’t get 200 accident videos from a 30 minute ride. Yes….adjust the settings, but then what setting affects what? If I lower the sensitivity does that adjust parking sensor or riding or both…..crap software.

[@kymmoulds]

Mate, thanks for taking the time to make the video. I'm contemplating getting a dash cam for my Indian Springfield as security with all the 'bad' motorist on the road. Thye video was great and I'm now going to watch your instilation video for the Inov K5. Thanks again, much appreciated. Oh, and a BIG thumbs up.

[@revealingfacts4all]

I'm an embedded software/hardware engineer. I understand the claim about 4K being bandwidth intensive but there are video transports that fix that problem. I wonder why they don't know about them? That massive bundle of wires going to the front camera is a deal breaker for me. Good review, good data showing what it's capable of. Hope they can address the bundle of wire some of us have...

[@carlosvdd1]

Great review. I've been looking for good quality camera's for my bike that I don't have to mount to my nice new carbon helmet. I think I'm going to go for this kit. I also noticed you are actually riding roads I ride all the time too! What a small world 😂

Yes I am getting the Innov K5 Thanks for the great and honest review

[@Desmo904]

When you mention location of the unit early on in the video and being unable to access the door for the memory card, you could always mount it upside down in that location and flip the video (that you mention later).

[@Stixdrive]

Thank you for the good review. I’m very impressed with the K5 , I will wait and see the K3 when available.

I had the same problem with the front camera with moisture in the air so I made a small wind deflecter a meniture version of my motorcycle windshield, installed it just below and forward of the camera lens, here in the Arizona USA desert due to long times of infrequent rain our highways get oily the miniature windshield blows the oily moisture up and over the camera lens!

Thanks for this review on this new K5 Teapot! I got the K2 on your review of that and I think I will upgrade to this mate! Thanks for the review and info man, cheers.

[@teapotone]

Cheers Paul, hold off on the K5 bud - there’s a new K3 model coming out which is basically the K2 with upgraded cameras, better Wi-fi, remote and mic

[@jwcgroup]

fab review as always. i look forward to the outtakes 🤣 i did get a k2 this Christmas (all your fault for doing lovely reviews), happy with 1080p. prefer the k5 audio, yes a bit too much treble but way easier to hear you. cheers for keeping us entertained and informed, loving it.

[@_JimS]

For the price difference between the K3 and K5 All I need is to stop drinking beer for a few weeks and it's paid for.... Great video with the info I was looking for...Thanks Teaman

[@simonmackenzie4820]

Great review, Thanks Bruce. Think I’ll hang on for the K3, seems to have the best of both worlds if you don’t mind the lesser resolution.

[@Ishkatan]

Great job doing the comparison with the GoPro. Answered a lot of my questions. Follow up with a comparison in clear weather?

[@3208NICK]

Had the K2 and, as you pointed out Bruce, its upload speed was too slow. Thought this INNOVV microphone was much clearer. If you could also mount the camera to your helmet, you’d have brilliant video and sound from one setup!

[@FREE_PUREBLOOD333]

Wow..great piece of kit. Good review ..love the split screen you did on the comparison. That k5 is impressive kit. Video and especially sound quality surprised me. Gopro sound was muffled compared to the k5 Vid quality great on both. Nice review TP1.

[@msmelish2001]

Great video, love it. Just received my K5 and gearing up for install cheers for the tips.:)

[@waynehanson2275]

Top job Bruce.Great review. Almost purchased the K2 but K5 is great piece of kit.

[@teapotone]

Cheers Wayne, yeah I thought the K3 would be the ultimate system to go for, but I’m testing it at the moment and if I was spending my own money, I’d go for the K5. Wi-fi is way quicker, which in turn makes using the app much more enjoyable and user friendly. The picture quality is better for sure, and the whole system just seems to work more efficiently than the K2 or K3.

Good review and vid Bruce. Quality looks good enough to cut into videos as an alternative camera angle. ✌🏻

[@Bowlin01]

Great informative video Bruce (at least the singing is only in the outtakes now), looks like a great system, good clear picture, excellent sound (better than the GoPro IMO), the app looks good as well. Seems like a winner to me, shame I've got no room under the seat to fit the electronics.

[@bikingwithgrantygrant779]

Great review. The front camera seems to be good but in the lanes, the view was pretty muddied with the road dirt, so I was wondering if a higher mounting point would be better for the front camera, but the rear camera looked good at all times. Fantastic review though mate and to be honest if you are happy with the mounting, that's all that counts. Sound was really good and the video quality is excellent.

[@teapotone]

It was moisture in the air on the front lens, there’s no way of avoiding that. The rear is clearer as the lens is facing backwards and therefore isn’t affected by it

[@bikingwithgrantygrant779]

@@teapotone ah I see. The camera is still good quality and I love your reviews. Its great that you review these products in such good detail. I enjoy watching your videos a lot.

[@Planet_Wax]

Superb video Bruce! Will you be reviewing the K3 also? That may suit my needs better with a smaller front camera like the K2 you had. I have a CB500X and trying to hide the K5 camera would be a 'mare. Keep up the superb work all round. Cheers, Michael.

[@teapotone]

Cheers Michael, Yes mate I’ll be getting the K3 soon and will install it and do a review ASAP 👍

[@spugone]

Very nice to see that the feedback has been listened too and that it has been taken up. As the K2 it looks very good quality. Front unit looks bulky, reducing where it can be mounted unfortunately, not as discrete. Audio is very good, if only it could be updated on the K2. I must admit I do like the remote and the option to take pictures when needed. WiFi connection certainly seems a lot quicker. The night time video better than the K2. I like it very much, not sure I would rush to change from the K2, might be interested if they did a part exchange. Will possibly have to wait for the K3. Thanks for the insight. Good review mate.

[@pilot1mitch]

Fantastic video!! Thanks so much! SOLD!! Just ordered one.

Fantastic review. Great structure to the film, everything flowed nicely. Agree re the sound. It was alot crisper, but a bit tinny. Not so keen on the bulky front camera and very interested in that half way house of the K3.

Ha Ha yeah I thought that?! I’m wondering if you can change it via the app, but not seen how yet. I’ll chase up INNOVV 👍

[@jmackdrums]

I'd be quite Interested in the K3 when it drops if I can afford it. Like the sound of the built in external mic, seems quite handy

[@thecurioussausage]

Good review. I bought a K2 the day before the K5 was announced (a couple of weeks ago) but I do prefer the more discrete front camera of the K2. I have installed it but not been out yet and I am very impressed with the build quality. It also appears I got the latest transformer but the download speed is slow when I tested it. It would be good if it was a software issue and a firmware update would speed it up.

[@stevendavis822]

Try the new app it speeds up the transfer a bit

[@TwoFourCharlie007]

Covered all bases there Bruce, great review... I’m not in the market for a camera just yet,but if I was then I think this would be top of the list..

Just ordered a K5, and hope it works as well as my old K2 :)

I have been looking for a cam setup for the Yamaha Venture so I have it on the x-country trip I am planning in the summer. This looks impressive. I might wait to see what the K3 costs when it comes out but I might still splurge for the K5. Very impressed.

[@peteharvey8142]

Teapot one great videos of the K5. I’ve fitted to the RH indicator with minimal show of front fairing to the left. The one thing I’m finding hard to do is seeing the captured video on my Mac book pro in ts format. Do you have a preferred software for processing that and also for post production. Many thanks. Keep up the brilliant work. Pete

[@teapotone]

Hi Pete, My Mac opens the files up no problem in finder? Are you recording in mp4 or the other format - think it’s TS? I use Final Cut Pro to edit

[@peteharvey8142]

@@teapotone Thanks for getting back to me teapot one. I have recorded in MP4 and opening in finder is ok with the rear but the front is jittery. Im guessing its my 2012 Mac's onboard graphics memory . I've been looking at running dashcam viewer software to give me all the gps location speed data but, again its not able to run. I like the idea of final cut pro but, am thinking i may be in need of a machine to run the big file sizes used by the front camera on the K5. Looking forward to being able to roll the wheels legitimately soon. until then stay safe and thank you

Cheers John, I use a max so edit with Final Cut Pro 👍

[@stevendavis822]

Just bought and installed the K2 and this came out. Does it save the loop videos to the correct folder or are some randomly saved to the Park folder?

[@pointer2null]

Anyone else finding files missing? Unit seems to be unable to cope with vibration when bike is at higher speeds (over 50MPH) and fails to record.

[@teapotone]

Re the missing files, have you looked in any of the other folders on the sd card, such as accident, parked or protected? If the G-sensor is activated then it can put some files into accident or protected folders

[@pointer2null]

@@teapotone Yes, have checked them all. There are quite a lot of files in the 'accident' folder, but there are still lots missing. For example I have the segment where I'm joining a motorway, then the next file is when I leave the motorway an hour later. Everything in between is missing. Will be contacting support today. This maybe a fatal design flaw.

I’ve not had anything like that personally, always been able to find my files 🤷‍♂️

@@teapotone thanks for getting back to me 👍

[@jay26cee]

Hi Bruce ... on a grotty day like that, hard to draw a comparison. Under the circumstances, to me GoPro looks a much better picture but I think that is because the lens of the Innovv must be dirty or something. Even the rear camera looks a better picture. I think it would be much better to compare when they are all clean and clear on a brighter day. I do think the audio is much better than the GoPro tho.

[@teapotone]

That’s very true bud, but sadly we can’t compete with Mother Nature. It was January and I had less than a week to get it installed, tested, filmed, edited and out for today 🤷‍♂️ The GoPro will ALWAYS win in terms of picture quality, the INNOVV system can’t compete with that - but they are totally different cameras. INNOVV don’t do action cameras, they are dash cam type systems so serve a different purpose. The GoPro is an action camera which we adapt to use as a helmet/bike mounted camera, but it requires faff to keep it powered constantly etc etc. The INNOVV systems are simply install and forget, they run constantly in the background predominantly for that unique occurrence of an incident etc

[@jay26cee]

@@teapotone I hear you. Our weather will always throw us that curve ball. I think for me, given that I'd probably use the footage only in the case of an 'event', I'd rather go with a 2k res and a higher frame rate. This will give a much better chance at capturing a legible number plate ... one thing I noticed with my 4k helmet cam at 30fps, trying to get a frame where text is legible at speed is tough. Great effort on your part though getting it all done.

[@jwcgroup]

@@jay26cee i agree with you. i tried my gopro in my car a while back going through the settings, and higher frame rates 60fps and above means ability to pause and read a number plate .... I got a k2 innov for 🎄, not fussed over 4k takes up so much storage space too.

[@scottc3]

Looks very good, and the sound is a huge improvement! Even under the seat it sounded great! Thanks for the review Bruce you have certainly answered all the questions I had. :-) The App looks much better too. My K2 GPS was iffy, so looks like they also sorted that! I think the soon to be released K3 would be more than adequate for me.

[@grlaycock67]

Bit late to the party but as you've tried both the K3 & K5 I'd value your opinion. I've no interest in vlogging or uploading video to FB. But after having myself and my Mille wiped out by Miss Myopic, my gopro with a dead battery and having to rely on witnesses for the insurance I need a dashcam. So the question is, is the K5 worth the extra for my purposes over the K3? I don't think front camera size is an issue fitting it to my R1100S. Great video, enjoyed all the innovv vids.

[@teapotone]

Hi Gavin, If it’s purely as a dashcam and you’re not worried about utilising the app to view files, then the K3 is a good buy. 👍

[@patd7357]

Hello, thanks for the video. Does the live view through the app has a time delay or is it possible to use it as screen?

[@CloudedArcher]

Another great video Bruce! Though it is difficult to distinguish the difference as your uploaded video was only able to play at 1080p (HD). Is there a way you can upload so it can be played at 1440p which would more closely resemble 4K, enough to at least show a difference?

[@teapotone]

Question when you use the app will i rotate if you put it in landscape mode That way you can use it as an rearview mirror

[@teapotone]

I’d never advise you to rely on any camera over a simple shoulder check, or just turn your head and body to see behind you. But... Yes it does - once you’ve connected the system to your phone, open the app, tap the video camera icon, select which camera feed you want (front or rear), and then it’ll happily rotate between landscape or portfolio

[@mickemmett6828]

Thanks for the review, very helpful. I've had a rear mounted Garmin Virb Ultra 30 go down so I'm looking at replacing it may be with a combined front and rear system even though the other Ultra 30 and a GoPro6 mounted on the front are still working fine, I noticed that your GoPro footage definitely had the edge on the Innov although I'm sure KZbin will have messed with it and degraded the quality of both. I am thinking of maybe going for the K3 as although all 3 of my cameras (Well 2 now, not counting the Sena 10c Pro on my helmet) do 4K but have found that 4K files are large and are a bugger to edit, how often do you use 4K in your blogs?🤔

[@teapotone]

I incorporate the K5 footage in all Vids where I’m riding my GS now, but the GoPro footage will always beat any dashcam system as the bitrate is so high on GoPro’s/DJI Osmo etc

Brilliant as ever @teapotone , definitely going to invest, do I still need a hex ezcan to install on my 2017 gs?

A newbie question, With 2 channels, front and rear, does the 2 cameras record at the same time? Meaning say at a given tme 10 am,while riding, would see what is recorded by front and rear camera on 2 separate files? How do you know files from front vs rear camera feed?

Hi Bruce. Like previous comments. Thanks for your reviews. Will you do a review/information video about how to download and edit. I notice there is a USB? Next to the memory card slot. Is that used to download? Is it possible to obtain the footage from the camera in bulk rather than having to download over wifi/app one clip at a time. Which editing software would you recommend, Da Vinci? Lots of questions - sorry.

[@teapotone]

Hi Pete, No I won’t do a tutorial on editing, nobody would watch it! 😬😉 Just take out the SD card and whack it into your computer to get the files, far quicker than trying to download them all via Wi-fi. I use Final Cut Pro X as I use a Mac, but you can use any editing software to edit these files, they’re just .mp4👍

[@petedurrant3360]

@@teapotone thanks.

[@WoodNotts]

Thanks for the review, good to see the next generation here. I preferred the sound of the K5 as it seemed clearer than the GoPro. The picture quality improved when you got onto the dual carriageway, but did you clean the lenses before joining it? It would be good to see it in higher frequency comparisons with the GoPro especially for dashcam type footage. I bought a C5 for training sessions but it hasn’t been too successful. The K5 looks like it might be worth going with but would choose this over a GoPro? When using the remote to capture video, does it record the current time clip or from the push of the button or even record from a period back before the button push? You mentioned image stabilisation but I haven’t seen anything in the spec that says about this! Is there any? Lots of questions I know and probably better asked of Steve but your thoughts/input would be appreciated👍 Cheers and keep up the good work.

[@teapotone]

I clean the lenses every time I’m off the bike - basically I clean my visor, GoPro’s and Innovv cameras all at the same time. Yes I’d just cleaned the lenses prior to the dual carriageway footage, but the rain had also cleared away and I was moving faster, so the flowing air helps to keep the front lens clearer. Not sure what you mean by ‘higher frequency comparisons’ bud? The innovv was filming at its optimum resolution of 4K at the front at 30fps, I could’ve gone to 1080 at 60fps admittedly. There is no inbuilt stabilisation on the INNOVVs but personally I don’t think they need them 👍

[@teapotone]

For me if I was spending my own money, I’d get the K5 without question. The footage crisper but it’s the faster Wi-fi which is a game changer for me. It’s so much more user friendly to use the app with the better Wi-fi, you can view files and look at the gps mapping info easily and without having to wait ages. I also actually prefer the all-in-one nature of the K5 to the separate DVR and camera setup of the K2/K3. Weird because I really did like the K5 setup originally, but now it’s the one I choose to put on my bike 👍

[@advthor]

Nice video, but I think it was a bit unfair to compare with the K5 mounted low in the wet, filming a lot of pavement, and the GoPro up high in the drier. I wanted to have the cameras as high as possible, but "invisible", protected and with an unobstructed view. Sounds hard, but I actually think I nailed it. My front camera is where you have your remote. I wanted it on this side as we drive on the right, and I figured I will hardly ever need access to the card. Found a longer M6 bolt and mounted it there with the included angle bracket. Then drilled and carved a hole through the black plastic for the lens. (That plastic fairing is only €50 on a 1250GSA.) I mounted the remote on the mirror stem, using the included mount. The rear camera sits in the middle of the reflex, stole this idea from A Bike Thing. Let me know if you want to see pics of the installation, and I'll link to my blog. Snow and cold here in Norway now, so still waiting for warmer weather to test, but I think both cameras should have clear good views.

[@karlosh9286]

Good stuff ! 4k is interesting . Speed improvements sound worthwhile. It's the nighttime performance on all these camera, I dunno, how much time do I ride at night ? Probably not much, that'd be more important in a car DVR (ones I have are naff at night )

It’s a dashcam system bud so it just constantly records in a loop. You select how long a ‘loop’ you record, from 1min to 15mins I think. I get almost 2 days of full riding before it starts to overwrite the first file

The first few minutes wasn't a fair test on it, as it was wet on the lense. But as soon as it dried the quality came threw.. Its pretty impressive.. I use a go pro myself and I wouldn't change over from it just for reasons I want the helmet mount.. But its a great bit of gear regardless, great quality, sound was good a bit crisp, but good, GPS is good also, looked accurate. Pretty professional set up being honest..it works great in low light 2... Only reason I wouldn't change from go pro as I say I enjoy the helmet view.... Its a perfect set up for a bike like yours and all other all out touring bike id certainly use 1 then 👍

I cannot get the GPS Google map image like you show- is that a different apt? - I get the Lat/Long position but not the map.

Hiya Bruce Happy Xmas I’ve got multiple bikes..lucky me Which helmet cam would you recommend for insurance cover and fun. Or would you look at insta 360 x3 or that type. Value for money/functionality among various options of use. Ta

[@teapotone]

Hello bud, If you want a camera that you can use on multiple bikes, and one which you can use for insurance purposes but also use for KZbin vids etc, then something like a GoPro (or GoPro knock-off) or DJI Action would be brilliant. Drift cameras are ok but their firmware has had terrible reliability in the past (as has GoPro’s to an extent, but the Drift video quality is poor in comparison). Insta360’s have incredibly reliable cameras, but they’re fairly expensive. Personally I’d go GoPro Hero 10 or 11, or the Insta360 X2

Damn! That's one great video!

Great video as always Bruce👏🏻👏🏻 & packed full of useful information. Might have to put one on my Christmas list 😉🏍💨 LYL

Cheers Pete - hold out for the K3 mate, it’s coming soon and I’ll get it installed pronto and do a review. I think it’ll be the best of both worlds personally 👍

[@infokir]

Could you please advise, if this innovv k5 make records in parking mode by the motion in the front of any af the cameras or it makes records by the g-sensor signal only?

[@ronaldwest2378]

enjoyed you review on this cam, i was looking for a good 4k bike cam without buying junk. can you send a link for your riding gear like helmet and gloves. thanks for the review. greetings from canada.

[@ianbiddle7414]

I just purchased the K3 based on your review. Although you may need to amend what you said about the K3 Wifi. It does not come with the faster 5Ghz. It still comes with the slower 2.4Ghz. as far as I can see thats its only let down.

[@teapotone]

Hi Ian, I say the K3 Wi-fi is slow in the review bud 🤷‍♂️ I think this slower Wi-fi is a massive let down of the K3, it’s one of the main reasons I’d choose the K5

[@Wats1984]

Like the look of that system. The audio was really good from the k5 system as well. 👍

[@teapotone]

Cheers bud, aye I was surprised by how good the K5 audio was too 👍

Which program do you use putting it on your computer I am trying some but no results yet . And thanks for the video I bought it because of that.

[@teapotone]

Not sure what you mean here Rob, do you mean what editing software do I use?

[@robtauber2043]

@@teapotone yes to make like a holiday film with fotos and film fragments and I saw on de film about the k5 that you had it on screen in the background. Thanks by the way for your reaction.

[@robtauber2043]

@@teapotone to clarify, I’m looking for a program with which I can upload my films and photos from my sd card. Also one to edit with, and, best case possible one that combines the two. In your video you have one running on your Mac in the background, so I was wondering which that was and if it might be a free download.

[@teapotone]

Ah ok Rob - firstly to get the files from the SD card to your computer you just use either ‘Finder’ on Mac or ‘Explorer’ on Pc. Both of these are free and already come with either system. Store your files on an external hard drive, preferably an SSD one if you intend to do complicated editing, or the cheaper traditional hard drives will do if you’re only doing basic stuff. On the Mac I use Final Cut Pro X which is a semi-professional system and is about £400. If you’re just starting you can easily use windows movie maker on a PC, or iMovie on a Mac. Both are fairly similar and will let you do some basic editing such as movie to photo integration in a slideshow-type of deal. There are lots of other software available such a Vegas Pro, or Da’Vinci Resolve etc I simply used youtube to teach myself how to edit and how to use my software. Cheers 👍

[@Empir3_]

Please sent the k3 I'm waiting for it... Bruce just a hint a little of ceramic coating on the lens and problem solve with the dirt or rain...

[@teapotone]

Yep definitely - funny you should say that as I’m doing that very soon 👍

[@cport955]

Impressive bit of kit. Not sure how I’d mount that all on my Superduke GT
