K5 stops recording when engine starts

Sorry, I missed this message somehow. Thanks for the response. It seems that @Frostie has solved the problem (see the other messages).

I wish I knew what that flash code meant.

I means that the K5 is protecting the current video by saving it into the Accident/Park Folder.Normally, this happens when the K5 detects a shock above the configured threshold (G-Sensor settings) or after pressing the button on the remote control.

Do you see videos in one of the mentioned folders? If yes, we have to figure out why this "file protection" happens right after the K5 has started up.

As a first step I would then disconnect the remote, let the K5 run for some minutes and then check the folders. If the files are still getting protected, I would disable the g-sensor via app.

You solved it! Thanks! The vibration from the engine was triggering the G Sensor.

I have now disabled the G Sensor, and now the recording light stays solid when the engine starts.

I remember now that after the first test run (where I successfully recorded video), I noticed that there were quite a few files in the Accident folder, so I changed the G Sensor setting. But in my mind a higher value meant a higher g-force threshold, so I bumped it all the way up, which of course was the opposite of what I should have done.

Thanks again!

Hi Daniel,

Great to hear. I must admit that when I watched your video the first time and heard the engine, this was my first idea. But I then saw no vibration at the remote control and assumed a stuck button :-)
