Camera's

Warlord · Aug 16, 2019

I've got a really nice and slick Garmin Virb XE Camera setup on my BMW R1200GSA (front and rear) permanently wired in.

Both these camera's have 128GB memory cards and can run continuously for 10.5 hours each. That's a long days ride, and plenty to cover every single second of it.

If nothing exciting happens, I just reformat the memory cards before the next rideout. So they're always ready to go, and fresh. No worrying about batteries being charged etc etc.

All waterproof, so just get on your bike and ride.

Anyways.... done the same thing now to my HAT. :thumb2

I needed locations that were not going to be 'in the way' when the bike crashes. So I don't want to be picking up bits of camera kit every time it falls over.

FRONT CAMERA

Warlord · Aug 16, 2019

The rear camera was a real problem, because if it was mounted on the side, it'd get smashed for sure.

REAR CAMERA.... so I mounted it here.

Warlord · Aug 16, 2019

All camera's are cable tied to the bike, on a safety lanyard. So even if the mounts get smashed, the camera's won't fly off.

Well, that's the plan anyways :blast

What do you think?

Anything that partially obscures rear light's not good.

What like a days worth of roost mud

You can't see a frickin thing on the bike after riding through mud all day anyways.

But yes, I did have that thought in mind :thumb2

When I'm fit enough again, I'll get the bike out and do some testing, on angles and visibility etc.

That looks good. Do you have any video footage I can look at?

If the setup is hard wired to the ignition, what function does the manual switch serve ?

I made DVR manual switch to prevent battery drain in period when motorcycle is not used for more than 2 days. Because, when the ignition is in OFF position, DVR unit in 10 seconds stops recording and go to sleep mode....after that, DVR module power consumption is aprox. 45mA...i think it's too much. INNOVV knows about this problem, and they are working on it.

Sorry, i am right now far away from my bike. You can search in youtube for "innovv k2", i think people uploaded some video.

I have Innov K1 system front and rear hard wired via a Fuseblock. The Fuseblock works with the canbus system to sense when the engine is running, and only then will it supply power to the ancillary equipment. Once the engine is off, it powers down again. No need to switch individual pieces of equipment on/off. Very convenient.

I also wired K2 system via fuse box (PC-8), but as the red wire has permanent (+), In sleep mode my multimeter shows 45ma.
Permanent (+) is necessary to finalize the last recording after the ignition is OFF (10 seconds)

INNOVV tech support told me that they have fixed the problem with DVR power adapter battery drain. Now i will wait the free replacement.
We'll see.....

Why don't you wire it to a switched circuit on the PC8?

Thats how mine are wired up.... Switched live on a PC8

Looks like Kenik does too so wasn't sure why he needs a manual switch when PC8 switched connections turn off when ignition is off

Kenik · Oct 3, 2019

PC-8 cuts the power immediately after the ignition is OFF. But the DVR system needs aprox 10 seconds delay to finalize last recording.
So permanent (+) is necessary.
If PC-8 has some delay functions, like PDM60 - manual switch will be not needed.
