Constant green flash
New to K7, and so far a bit dissappointed. The green video light on the remote is flashing pretty much the whole time, and most of the videos are being saved in the accident folder. I’ve increased and reduced the G sensor, tried with and without accelerometer and it seems to make no difference. I have a 650 twin, and even the acceleration of that sets it off, along with every little bump in the road. Is this a fault, or is this just it??

Hi William,
Turning off the accelerometer doesn’t affect the sensitivity of the G-sensor. It simply disables the display of the values.
In my experience, the cameras can be sensitive to the direction from which vibrations/shocks are detected. Therefore, you could consider mounting the DVR in a different position.
The center of the bike (e.g., under the seat) is where you’ll experience the least vibration from riding. You could also wrap the DVR in some foam to absorb shocks. Note that the DVR can dissipate heat. The DVR housing acts as a heat sink for the electronics.-
Thanks Hans, that does make a lot of sense. The unit is under the seat, however it is near the rear of the bike, so the effects of the bumps on the road are probably being exaggerated by its position. I will have a look at trying to move it forward. I do have it on a foam pad, but it’s quite firm, so if moving it doesn’t sort it, thats another avenue to try. Appreciate the info on heat and accelerometer too, thanks again
