A119 emergency button mod

[Newtsche]

I thought it would be a good idea to make the emergency button easier to find. It would seem if you need it, you probably need to keep your attention on what's in front of you. I used a hole punch to cut out a little dot from a sheet of skateboard tape, sticky one side with a very coarse sandpaper like surface on the other. Very easy to feel, you know when you're on it.

I doubt most people have skateboard tape, maybe some other material could be suggested. Ideally, the emergency button would come with some tactile feature to begin with. Apologies to anyone who came up with a similar idea before.

some people have used self adhesive rubber bumpers, such as for cabinet doors or similar. i tried it, but the first time i pressed it on a hot day, it fell right off. skateboard tape is probably perfect. good suggestion!

Over one year I supply my Street Guardian SG9665GC customers with special Easily accessible Emergency / Lock / Accident Button
I have tested many different options and best one I am supplying now is the one you see below which is black colour and looks like factory design, but you can use any other shape colour of bumpers found in your local market. it's truly helping instantly to find (feel) needed button.

Just about anything with texture on one side and adhesive on the other should work fine. I've used the rubber bumpers than Niko advocates, adhesive backed Velcro (the fuzzy side or the hook side, both work fine), etc.

I used the Velcro on a poorly designed alarm clock where the 'alarm off' and the 'snooze' button were the same size/shape and positioned right next to one another.

Do you think a remote control for lock file is better?

It would be really useful if the camera is mounted somewhere you can't reach it such as a back or side window. Also useful for units with remote cameras where the main DVR part is hidden somewhere in the car.

To lock ongoing recorded file so it will not be overwritten later on when memory card gets full and starts cycle recording.
