After a number of different positions for the camera and the wiring finally decided permanent placing. Seems to be a lot of wiring under the seat, never mind it must all do something.
I found the best place for the camera was under the offside headlight using the existing panel screw to secure the mount. It's a solid mount with very little vibration and gives a good forward view. After removing the right hand side panel the wire from the camera is fed to the back of the bike and hidden once the panel is replaced.
There was limited space under the seat to fit the DVR as I have a Fuzeblocks installed to which I have other accessories connected. The INNOVV doesn't necessarily need this but it it's easier for me to wire certain components to either work off ignition or permanent live. I had to remove the bikes tool kit to make space, you could place it in the space to the rear but I think this will rattle about and will make recordings sound worse. I screwed and used the sticky pad to fit the DVR mount as I wanted a solid base so i could lift the DVR and remove the memory card to transfer files to a PC rather than use the slow wifi phone connection.
Following the INNOVV instructions I fitted the converter away from the DVR and managed to attach it to the battery using the sticky pad. If not using something like the Fuzeblocks then you need to connect the yellow wire to a swtched source. On the Tracer there are a couple of connectors behind the headlight or tap into the rear light which is what I did for the Fuzeblocks, you can see the brown wire from the +VT going to the light connector. The red wire will then need to be connected to the + battery terminal or if using a block terminal to a permanent live connection.
There is quite a bit of wiring to hide as it's rather lengthy. You can shorten some of it if required but I left mine standard. As you can see from the photos there is a spaghetti of wires but these are from other accessories and not all the cameras you will probably have a tidier setup if you just have a camera. In addition I have heated seat, fog lights and an additional non INNOVV camera fitted so there is quite a bit of wiring to stuff away.
I have also fitted an external mic as the sound quality from the DVR is not great but haven't managed to test it yet.
If further information is required let me know.
Can you guide us on how to install it by the first hand. We want to read this guide from your side. The permanent placing will work for the long term.
