    New U1000 - sensitivity questions

    I guess my question is how am I supposed to set my sensitivity? Very high or extra low. The instruction manual isnt really clear. When I watch the video of the "impact detection" from my garage theres basically just a short video of my front wall.

    New U1000 - sensitivity questions

    Thanks for the quick reply. When you say turn off the system, you mean unplug it? That would get annoying every time I get in and out of the car each day. Im just confused as to why I get motion or impact recording in my garage.

    New U1000 - sensitivity questions

    Have my new U1000 set up in my car. Maybe I have this set incorrectly but even with my sensitivity for parking set to the lowest, I still get impact and motion alerts when I get in my car....after its parked in my personal home garage! Even when Im parked at work on a private side street, I get...

    Oversharpening with FW 2.7

    The CPL is a great addition, keeps headlight reflections down and makes colors more definitive.

    Oversharpening with FW 2.7

    Im only asking what Im looking for to denote too much sharpness. You want to move your dash cam angle down for two reasons; first, too much sky will blow out the picture. Having more dash in the picture will even out the brightness. Second, your horizontal plane is too high rendering objects to...

    Oversharpening with FW 2.7

    Not sure what exactly Im looking at, looks normal to me. Only thing I would suggest is aiming your cam lower, too much sky.

    Oversharpening with FW 2.7

    You could on previous version which was either 2.6 or 2.6s(smooth). The new 2.7, which Ive been running a couple weeks now, is only one setting. I never ran any of the "S" versions so I wouldnt be able to tell a difference.

    Opia2 officially dead - NOW FIXED!

    UPDATE: I received my unit back and its been working flawlessly since. Apparently I had my parking mode setting to "too" sensitive and it was picking up the very small powerstrip light on my workbench in front of the car. This little light in the pitch black darkness of my garage was enough to...

    Opia2 officially dead - NOW FIXED!

    So I ended up sending my cam back to VicoDirect who I bought it from. We are doing this in stages. They are going to test my cam to see if they can reproduce any of the symptoms Im experiencing and then determine if theres a firmware error or hardware error. If nothing is wrong with either then...

    Opia2 officially dead - NOW FIXED!

    Nope, its definitely dead. Last monday I came out to my car completely dead. Not even a light on the dash. Somehow the software got past the security of the powerplus saving the battery from depletion. Getting a replacement cam soon.

    Vico opia2 problem micro sd reader?

    Very odd, Ive been using both a Transcend 32gb HE card and a 64gb Lexar HE card back and forth with no issues. Only difference Ive seen is that when making videos, the Transcend stitches recordings together better than the Lexar.

    Opia2 officially dead - NOW FIXED!

    Ok, so I contacted vicodirect who I bought it from on Amazon and they helped me fix it. I have to give them a huge amount of credit for getting back to me so quickly. Apparently there is a known capacitor drain issue and thats what I experienced. They sent me a beta firmware(2.7) to use to...

    Opia2 officially dead - NOW FIXED!

    After months of struggling why my cam was recording nonstop in the dead dark of my garage overnight, not turning on every once in a while when starting my car, it now will not power on at all. Its only 9 months old and I have written to Vico about it. Very saddened by this as I really loved it.

    VicoVation Vico-Opia2 and Vico-Power PLUS

    It will store any activity recorded during parking mode normally. However, if there is an incident it will go into the files saved for "emergency" recordings. Honestly, I like the way its set up since I dont want another folder that I have to go through and delete if nothing happened. If...

    VicoVation Vico-Opia2 and Vico-Power PLUS

    @Saaj you do realize there's a counter on the display that shows impact recording events right? It will increase by how many events happened while you were parked, not just driving.

    2.6 firmware never stops recording!

    So oddly enough, it hasnt been doing this since I pulled the card last. Not sure what it was, maybe ghosts?

    2.6 firmware never stops recording!

    It did it the whole night before when I posted this thread originally. Vico requested a video so I just pulled the card out and there it was, more recordings of nothing from last night. As far as it would seem, its doing it every night. I havent been pulling the card to check every day though.

    2.6 firmware never stops recording!

    Ive actually been thinking about that but the big thing for me on the update was the correct time format(not 24 hour). This time it was just recording for those 2 hours(after I had come home from a drive). Started up this morning correctly when it sensed me coming into the garage.

    2.6 firmware never stops recording!

    Yeah, Ive been in touch with Vico about this. Their first response was to turn off parking mode which kind of annoyed me since this wasnt happening before the updated firmware. Last night I had two hours(9pm-11pm) of full 3 minute recordings in the darkness of my garage. I sent them one of the...
