H5 not doing what is should

Excellent stuff. It looks like it's all fixed. ;-) I can now change settings, see previews, etc. All that works perfectly now. I'll try and go out later and test the whole thing. One thing though ... every time the device starts, or when you go back to the main app screen, the video is recording. The issue with that, is that when you go in to the app, you need to stop recording, before you can change any settings or use the file manager. Also, when you go in, delete all files, and then go back out of the file manager, it's started recording again. Maybe have it set that when in the app, you need to manually start it recording again, or have to press the device button??

Hello Paul

When you go into the settings, or manage your files, the DVR will stop the recording automaticly, and when you exit the settings, it will back to recording automaticly.

Hopefully they will have a new firmware version soon that fixes all the issues. I'm surprised it wasn't tested better before release.

Thanks for the update.

Hi. Another bug is that when I go in to the file manager, and go to delete a number of files (video), the device reboots itself, before I can delete files. I also ran a test, and can almost get 4 hours from the battery, which is a good hour less than advertised. But, I gather that decreasing the quality (if I could) would have an increase in battery life, of the up to 5 hours. I would have assumed that the 5 hours claimed was based on 4K 30fps, and not a lower quality setting. Looks like a good number of bugs in the firmware version. Hopefully an easy fix.

And, by the way, not everyone uses Windows (I mostly use Mac or Linux). Also, I would have assumed that formatting the card within the device would format it to FAT32, which it clearly doesn't.

Compared to FAT32, ExFAT brings some advantages like no limitation in file size. And as almost all operating systems does support ExFAT, I would not see a problem here.

Anyway...to my experiences with Innovv cameras, I would always format the sd card within the device, because at least the K2, K3 and K5 uses a different partition layout (different starting sector) than a normal computer does.

Unfortunately I can't tell something regarding the mentioned issues, as my H5 is still awaiting delivery. It should arrive next Monday.

Yep, my first plan is to always format a card within the device itself, and not externally on a PC. I did that with the H5, but it didn't change the card from exFAT to FAT32. I assume (big assumption) that the device can use both exFAT and FAT32, since it does seem to write files to the card even when it's exFAT. I did eventually format the card FAT32, but it has made absolutely no difference to anything.
