Can you update the software to allow more adjustment range for the GPS sensor trigger for the impact detection feature. I had to disadle it becasue it was constantly triggering just driving down the road. I am guessing your low means low sensitivity to road bumps.

Concerning the G settings. What setting will cause the G sensor to trigger the least often? Aside from "off" of course. :-)
Can the "Park" files be accessed and deleted from the phone app? If so, how? I only see them when I put the memory card in my PC.
I want to make sure I'm understanding the G settings. If set to low, will that cause more or less files to go into "park"?
Thanks Rock, here's hoping they can. Could you also shed some light on Frostie's message as to what the level is for the 3 setting we have now.
I agree with you Frostie and suspect its in the lower spectrum because of the amount of false's we are seeing
I guess that depends on what kind of sensor is installed in the K2. If it is too sensitiv, it is on max scale very early, which cannot be compensated by software.
The other issue Rock was the sensitivity level. I know we discussed making more adjustable. Could we revisit that again. Otherwise the accidents folder ig going to be the only one loading because the sensor always reads Impact because it's to sensitive even in the high or low setting (whichever one set the trip level to the higher value)
There is mistake in App, all recordings caused by hit/impact or parking are stored in parking folder.
Has been working on App to sort those to different folders,
Normal loop recordings,
Accidents
Parking.

Can we revisit this again and see if there is a fix please
<sorry for diggin this one but...>
yeap... even in the lowest setting ALL my recordings are going to the PARK folder, so I'm turning this sensor off, which is a pity.
Having a 128G card, I believe I might be safe with several hours to spare from an overwrite event...
I'd love to have an even lower setting than Low...
Understood then and thank you for trying. To bad we have to disable this feature. Recommend you pull it from the product description as it's a non functional feature to most riders now and false advertising. As well as a headache for those that don't know the outcome of having it enabled. Hopefully in a future build they'll figure it out.

Anymore updates on the sensor adjustability?
Finally signed up...agree re G-sensor issue, settings and variety of cushion or floating mounts has not proven to work, so I also keep the Sensor and Park mode settings off, unless doing specific tests. Concur that dynamic range could be activated and user tuned for specific motos...but also wondering if a form of automatic calibration, as used for many accelerometer or multi-axis sensors could be a solution, allowing optimal tailoring for the installation and platform?
Movement to the road but still sense the bike itself. It's still triggering the gshock sensor in the DVR as a impact. Which is a false reading. We need to be able to raise the trigger level higher. That is why i suggest a software patch that allows the user to see the highest recorded impact the unit has seen in a normal operating environment. Then give us the ability to set the sensors triggering point to value just above that.
Heat has not been a problem as i statedt
Yes Rock
The foam isolates the DVR from the bike's
@Brian Lobert
Thanks for sharing photos and that helps.
G-sensor was triggered due to it feels the vibration. base on the photo, does DVR attach to motorcycle without movement itself from motorcycle?
As @Ron Swenson mentioned, DVR is potentially to get over heat when covered by cell foam, especially in summer time.
good to know that the DVR isn't overheating
Understood Ron. But I'd rather have solution that corrects the issue and allows us to use the impact function as designed. I run my bike in ambient desert temps well into the triple digits with this setup and haven't had a locked up DVR to date.
For me, Turning it off is the best option and if you enclose the DVR too much it may overheat and then you will get no files. The files needed for an accident won't get over written for several hours anyway so the key files are safe if involved in an accident. (my opinion)

Attached is a pic of my mounting isolation. I'm using a closed cell foam cradling the DVR. I have set the Gshock to both ends of the spectrum and I'm still getting a high percentage of false impact recording files. Has there been any updates to this problem.

Does the shock sensor have low/med/high settings. If so, have you tried setting it on high to see if the settings are labeled backwards and even though it says low it is really on high, you never know... also maybe they could just double or cut in half the settings value, which ever is needed, in firmware and make it less sensitive. it's just a math algorithm working off an accelerometer.output.. Just a thought
