All new BMW GS Models should come with factory fitted cams. We pay enough and this is a crucial feature in case of accident disputes

@cruiserjohn3790 17 дней назад

Even some chinese bikes comes standard with dashcam in front. Like Voge 525dsx 900dsx

@bonerfi9254 17 дней назад

Totally agree there! In thus day and age, I'm surprised major manufacturers don't do it. Would certainly be a deciding factor for purchase influencing. And not some piece of rubbish either. Something reliable and very sensible.

@nigelsride 17 дней назад

Have to agree with that one 👏

@teapotone 17 дней назад

I think having a dashcam fitted as standard from the factory, would actually put more people off buying a bike than would it attract 🤷‍♂️ A lot of people are still very suspicious of dashcams and are worried about them incriminating them through their riding - irrespective of the fact that our phones we carry with us everywhere, record our speed and exact location at all times anyway 👍

Im using a K3, pretty good except the download to phone times. K5 front camera was too bulky for my liking as wanted a discrete install. I believe the K5 was so big owing to cables not being able to transfer the data fast enough. This looks nice and compact. Some people need to remember these are dash cams and not vlogging/action cams. Used my footage once to prove someone hit me and a second time for the police after i came across an accident.

Afternoon squire, another top notch vid. Thank you for breaking down the boredom of a big yellow taxi shift. Anyway I noticed you’ve the carpuride system mounted. Are you going to be reviewing this bit of kit ? I have heard not good reviews compared to the chigee aio 5, and myself looking at getting one, just wondered your opinion. Stay safe mate, enjoy that splosh, and keep it up.

I've been waiting for this review, looks a great system, although I'm interested in your thoughts of K7 vs N1, to me a combo of both would be ideal.

Cheers Adam, aye I’d be interested in trying out the N1 too. Hopefully INNOVV will reach out again 👍

@hoekie3652 10 дней назад

Why no review of the 1080@60fps ? I would guess number plate detection would improve greatly.

@Wats1984 16 дней назад

Good video teapot. Just wondering if the parked feature drains the battery. As in how long does it stay recording for?

@teapotone 16 дней назад

It’s got a ‘Smart battery’ feature where it monitors the voltage of the battery, and then it drops below 12.5v it won’t work anymore. I’ve been using INNOVV’s with this feature since it was introduced with the K2/K3 years ago, and never had it run down a battery. In terms of how long it records for, if you have it set to record 1min loops then it’ll record a 1min section for as long as any motion is detected by the G-sensor. Accordingly, if you have it set to 5min loops, then it’ll record a 5min section

@joezeke969 5 дней назад

It would be a good camera, but unfortunately the bitrate is too low (12K bit/s at 1080). The image is pixelated wrong quality. I will stay with my K2 with modified firmware (bitrate 20K bit/s) I will return the K7 to the seller. It was a big disappointment, and I was really looking forward about the EIS.

@mr.mistoffelees7188 16 дней назад

I bought the K6. No GPS, hardly any wiring. Image stabilisation would help though on a KTM 1290.

@williambenson 2 дня назад

There should be no discernable difference between the spacial resolution of 2k and 1080 given that both operate at 1080 vertical resolution. 2k will give a slightly wider image at 2048 pixels compared to 1920 pixels for 1080. There will not be any change in resolution. The biggest difference, visually between different dashcams, will be in the processing of the data and the compression used to create the video files.

@RichPober 17 дней назад

Excellent review. The parking mode is extremely useful, as this will be needed for most insurance claims that arise when you're away from the vehicle. Without video footage, you'll be in for a world of pain dealing even with your own insurance company and fully comp insurance, let alone the third party's insurer. For moving footage I prefer 4K cameras (Sony) or 5.7K 360 degree cameras (Garmin), so that number plates can be read from up to 100 feet (30m) away. I would also get the H5 4K HELMET CAMERA, as this uses the SONY 4K image sensor, which certainly can capture the required detail without any blurring that occurs with 1080HD.

@teapotone 17 дней назад

I did a review of the H5, wasn’t impressed personally and don’t think the footage was any better than the K7? The Garmin is £600 bud! For one camera?! Plus it’s no longer available and isn’t an automatic system, so not really comparable as a motorcycle dashcam - but yes it will give a far better image. However I’d just buy a cheap GoPro knockoff from Amazon for less than £100 if that’s all I wanted👍

@Matt-vo1ge День назад

Can you put the 1080 at 60fps performance up under various conditions? Would be the only reason to consider it at this end. Performance still seems gash.

@EdBonds 17 дней назад

the chin camera at night time was impressive, much better than the dedicated dash-cam. Any reason why the camera is installed crookedly?

@teapotone 17 дней назад

I say in the vid that I’d knocked the front dashcam when cleaning it, hence why it’s squint. Yep the insta360 Ace Pro has fantastic low light quality doesn’t it, but it’s a dedicated action camera with a far bigger and better sensor (it’s also much more expensive). Dashcam’s aren’t meant to be top quality resolution footage, they’re purely for evidential and recording purposes - identify the vehicle/s and people involved sufficiently that it adds to the case being proposed. If you want top quality footage as a dashcam, then I’m afraid at the moment you’d need to pay substantially more and the cameras would be significantly bigger👍

@EdBonds 16 дней назад

@@teapotone Darn it, almost re watched the video to check if i had missed it! Sorry, helps the engagement algorithm though! Yep, stunning quality . The power from the bike and ability for me to not forget to turn it on is also a big tick when it comes to dashcams. Hopefully they will produce a larger sensor dash cam one day at a good price (i want my cake and to eat it!)

@teapotone 16 дней назад

Aye they’ll certainly improve as technology advances, and cheers for rewatching 😉👍

@AmbrosiasRideOuts 16 дней назад

LOL, the pheasant 😆 I head butted one earlier this year . . . it was like getting smacked by a light air craft. . . 2 days headache and £80 to repair the visor and mountings 😠 as for the bird ? he left the scene of the accident, video footage wouldn't have helped to track him down. This Innovv system looks great, tempting. 😎

Good video demonstrating the " matrix" headlight! It looks like it is an awesome low bean, but the high is a little weak?

@teapotone День назад

Eh?

@12masterr День назад

@teapotone I know the video is about the cameras, but it shows how the matrix headlight works. There are not many videos showing the lights at night, so it is a good way to show us.

@teapotone День назад

Ah ok, apologies I didn’t understand what your initial comment was saying. Don’t forget, I have spotlights on as well so that’s not a true representation of just the matrix headlight. I’ll do one showing exactly that though, it’s already on the list of stuff I want to make vids about actually 👍

@thomasrconnor 15 дней назад

Is the max loop time 5 minutes? If you have an accident, many things could mean you can’t stop the recording and any evidence is overwritten by you laying in a ditch! If it can take a 512GB card, you should be about to set this to an hour+, or when the card is full.

@teapotone 15 дней назад

No don’t worry, a 512gb card will take over 20 HOURS of continuous footage before it starts to overwrite the first 1min segment! Plus if you’ve been involved in an accident, the G-sensor in the DVR will detect it and automatically write-protect the relevant segment/segments

@RogersMotorcycleAdventures 16 дней назад

I think this is the system for me. I've no interest in the Chigee, or the Innovv system with the integrated screen - I have a Zumo XT2, and I really like having a discrete, self-contained gps. Plus, I have Carplay in my car, and if the lightning connection gets jiggled at all, I have to reconnect it. Too much of a faff for me. I want each component to do its job well more than I want integration.
