BRP Trip: Installing Cameras on the Harleys

Not everyone is capturing video content from their trips for a website like Charlie and I are, but it’s still great to have a camera on the bike. You might be interested in viewing those memories later or, worst case, you might want a video so you can review what led up to an accident.

The INOVV K3

We installed the INNOVV K3 system on our bikes. It provides front and rear facing cameras that record full HD 1080P at 30 frames per second using a 120-degree lens. When I start the bike, the camera starts recording. When I stop the bike it stops recording. A 128GB micro SD card provides about 19 hours of video recording, then it’ll start recording over the video you already have. Final setup is done by Bluetooth connecting your phone to the system. I set our systems for three minute video files.

How do you find your footage?

The remote control, mounted on your handlebars, includes an event save button. Press the event save button and the video being shot at that moment will be bookmarked so you can easily separate it from other video files later. You can also use the event save button to shoot still pics.

Data

The unit includes GPS. Every video clip includes time, speed and GPS coordinates. The time stamp is very handy when you’re sorting through video files later.

Install

You need basic mechanical skills to install INNOVV K3 cameras on your bike. You need to thread cables from the DVR to the cameras and GPS, connect to the battery and mount the cameras. It wasn’t difficult at all for us to install this on our Harleys.
