I installed the latest firmware yesterday & set the unit up for 10mins video loops
it failed on the first loop
I got home & reset the unit to 5mins & on the way into work today the red light was on constant.
I'm going to set it up to 3mins for the journey home tonight & report back

I was just going to download the latest firmware. I think I’ll hold off until you let us know how you get on with your commute home.

Any joy with the firmware?
i downloaded an update mid week (MP4 format), but that has now disappeared from the site and been replaced with the version you've tried.
i'm suffering from some journeys having unusable video (lots of vertical bars and unreadable image) whilst others are fine.
i set the unit to 5mins and just had a solid green light all the way home last night
i havent had a chance to look into it
if i get a chance tomorrow ill do some tests at home
I've found that if you connect to the C5 by wifi, that you have to power cycle (reboot) the C5 otherwise green light stays on all the time. I've taken to forgetting the C5 on my devices so they don't try to connect.
I thought I was buying a production product, but it feels like an early prototype.
so i reset the unit up have been running it static in my garage for the last two hours and everything ran fine
the setting are
10mins
60hz
and no audio
no g senor
and full hdp settings
i have work tomorrow so will see how it goes on my commute
todays report
I ran the unit for my daily commute & all was fine
I had the unit stop on me after 20mins but I don't think it was firmware related
I think it was the USB-C connection which has always been a bit temperamental
I just turned the unit off & back on and it ran fine for an hour
worked a treat last night & this morning that's roughly 3 hours use
as a comparison my drift ghost S failed tree times last night & twice this morning
both are mounted on my bike, I think the main issue with both cameras is the vibration the bike suffers from (Thanks BMW)
That’s good to hear. I left the previous firmware on and have just reviewed the video. Over half of the video files were corrupt (with either a blue or red screen). Anyway, I’ve now updated to the latest firmware and have formatted the memory card. I’m sticking with it at the moment, but there is still a way to go before it becomes the system I thought I was buying.

I can understand your frustration
the unit idea is great the same as the K1 but both have their failings
saying that they don't fail any more than a Drift or GoPro I know I've had most of the cameras on the market & test at least two at a time
the only difference is with a drift or GoPro they are simple to get running again
if like many the INNOVV systems are hidden away under a seat so you only know they have failed is when you want the video clips for a reason
Aye, the only reason I’m sticking with it is because I believe the issues are fixable. However, as you’ve pointed out it’s going to be a major disappointment when an incident occurs and there is no evidence (apart from a blank screen with time stamp displayed in the bottom right corner). Going by your latest results, I’m hopeful that things are on the up. Right then, I wonder how the sound interference issue is coming along.
i dont use sound
i cant see the need for it all you get is wind noise or at a standstill you get engine noise
that is unless you have an external mic which would be a chance as the unit will no longer be waterproof
Understood, I'm no great fan of wind noise either. I'm working on the premise that the Wi-Fi signal is the cause of the sound interference as well as the cause of the interference I'm getting on my helmet comms. I'm hoping that thread will provide results sometime soon.
I've reviewed the video recorded since the new firmware was loaded on my C5. All video was recorded as hoped (minus sound). So it's looking like a result.
Just to update. All video from my commute to/from work yesterday was red screen. This morning I disconnected the DVR power and will be removing the unit over the weekend. To say that I’m disappointed is something of an understatement.
Hi Dave, about red screen issue, have discussed with our guys, will keep you updated what is wrong.
