Btw, I'd recommend you test your G-sensor on your dash cam when it's mounted in your truck. Then jump up and down in the bed or on the back-bumper to see if it gets triggered.
For comparison to your A129 I just tried testing this on my A119 V3. Here's what I did.
First waited until it entered Parking mode indicated by fast flashing led.
I pushed on the side step up a couple times and it started recording, indicated by solid red led. LCD screen stayed black.
I realized there were no warnings on screen from G sensor activation so it must have triggered from motion.
So I covered the lens with black foam and waited for it to go back into parking mode.
I again pushed on the side step but nothing happened this time.
Went to the front bumper and pushed down on it a few times but no trigger
Went to the rear and jumped up and down on the trailer hitch but no trigger.
I went back to the door and grabbed the door frame and rocked the truck back and forth from the driver side and it did trigger the G sensor after I got the truck rocking side to side.
So yes it does trigger in parking mode however it seems like it takes a lot of effort to get it to trigger even when set to High sensitivity. IMO It may trigger if someone runs into it slowly with their vehicle hitting something firm like the bumper, but I'm not sure it would trigger if they hit a fender or something soft that would crush easily and dampen the jolt. Don't really think this was a very objective means to test though as one man pushing on a truck isn't really the same kind of impact that another car would have if it were to collide.
