The stick-on cable holder keeps the wired tucked close to the fairing. In this location, the Innovv camera tucks discretely up next to the mirror stalk. With a little bending, I was able to get the angle right. In my setup, I used the two included L-brackets to mount the front camera to the base of my 2003 R6’s left mirror. Otherwise, you’ll just be recording parts of the bike. (Then just plug the cable for the camera you mounted in front into the port labeled Front on the DVR.) The 160° wide angle fixed focus lens needs to be mounted as far forward and rearward as possible for the maximum view. The 2-meter (6.5-ft.) and 1-meter (3.3-ft.) cables are labeled Front and Rear, respectively, but since both cameras record at a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1080 30fps, use whichever camera is appropriate for your mounting setup as the front camera. Two lengths of flexible data cable are attached to the cameras to allow flexibility in routing to the DVR. If you live in a wet environment, I would suggest fashioning a waterproof covering out of one of those dry bags made for smartphones. Innovv claims that the pouch helps to protect the unit from both vibration and dampness, but the large openings of the pouch mean the mounting point should be as dry as possible. Unfortunately, the DVR is not waterproof. When installing the system, special care should be taken to place the DVR in as protected a place as possible. Finally, the K1’s DVR system and protective pouch form the heart of the system. A 12V adapter converts the power to USB-compatible 5V and provides a USB port for powering the system. The K1 has a combined GPS receiver and speaker plus a remote button for starting, stopping, and locking recordings. Three threaded holes on the housing allow for a variety of mounting options, and two steel L-brackets and bolts are included with the kit. 2-megapixel CMOS Sensors sealed inside a pair of waterproof aluminum housings. The Innovv K1 comes with quite a list of included components. (Just make sure it doesn’t become fodder for your entry into the Darwin Awards.) Either way, the Innovv K1 Motorcycle Camera offers a reasonably priced, permanently mounted camera/DVR system available for motorcyclists. Or, maybe, you just want to post your hero videos from your latest ride or track day for your friends to view online. Well, technology is making it possible to take people’s selective (and biased) memories out of the blame assessment process for motorcycle accidents, too. They can be, quite literally, a train wreck from which we simply can’t avert our eyes. Okay, raise your hand if you’ve ever whiled away an evening watching those ubiquitous Russian dash-cam videos.
