K2 Trigger wire And Power Hub

Normal video folder

Ok. That means, that it was not the parking mode, which powered down the DVR.

I personally know only three ways to power down the DVR

• Cut 12V power to the yellow wire. This only works if the DRV was not started by pushing the button on top

• Hold the button on top for 10 sec

• Issue the power-down command via web interface

In the first case (Cut 12V to yellow wire), the power module drops the voltage on the control line, which tells the DVR to shut down. My guess is, that this is the cause for the unwanted power down. Either the power module did something wrong and drop the voltage on the control line OR the DVR interpreted the voltage incorrect as a power down command.

Unfortunately I don't own the new power module, so I cannot check my theory. But maybe someone else can measure the voltage on the three lines in correlation to the input voltage (battery).

Me too. I got this to evaluate for others (which would have meant acquiring 50+ kits) but I dont have time in my life to get this thing working, never mind dealing with the cries of 50 others and their collective failings with this. Tips when buying this kinda stuff .... read the website and support feedback first. I can’t say I’m hugely surprised.

Don't no as it asked for and update so I did it and since then it's gone awall, sorry to bother you with this but me and tech ain't getting on at mo, I got this as I had a really bad accident back in Feb and I wanted the best camera for insurance reasons as well as fun but mainly for insurance as back up for idiots in cars that don't look or see bikers

Yes it did, but now it's working again found out bike battery was getting low, so this must stop the K2 from working to save power on bike I guess ?

Understood. However, I will be wiring the K2 to the Innovv Power Hub, which is already a switched supply when installed.

Nevertheless, the red and the yellow cable needs to be connected to different points.

This is, because the yellow cable "tells" the K2 when to power up or shut down.

If you connect both red and yellow to the power hub, it will cut off power to the K2 before it was able to shut down, which will corrupt the last videos.

What you can do is:

1. Connect yellow wire to switched power (same where you connect the power hub to) and the red wire to the power hub. This way both the power hub and the K2 will recognize the ignition status at the same time and the K2 will get time to shut down. But this may fail if the K2 takes a second more to shut down than the power hub.
   

2. Connect red wire to battery and yellow wire to power hub. This way the K2 will get the ignition status by the power hub. But as both the power hub and the K2 has a delay of 10 sec, this would mean the K2 starts 20 sec after ignition is switch on and will shut down 20 sec after igntion is switch off.

So best way would be to connect the K2 to the battery and the yellow wire to switched power.

Thank you very much.
