Beeping can mean several things.
1. Is the camera still recording? Beeping can mean there's an error with writing to the memory card. I.E. Faulty Memory Card, Incompatible Memory Card, or Memory Card in need of an overwrite format to "refresh it".
2. Beeping could be ADA's like lane assist, etc enabled.

Since the beeping just started that's a good indication the camera is trying to alert you that something needs attention. I'm not familiar with the Blackvue brand but you should certainly check any documentation there is as to what it may be indicating. Certainly check the memory card to insure it's still recording properly.

Did the camera work previously and beeping just started? Or is this a new camera?

Enable Beep alert to hear beep alert when speed alert has occurred.

2. Have you updated Firmware to newest?

Been working perfectly in my new car which i got installed last month, but was in my previous car for like a year with no issues
Hard acceleration etc etc are all OFF
Not sure about firmware it updates automatically
Both cameras working fine

Honestly, out of ideas. If it worked fine in previous vehicle, the only other thought is that maybe it's hardwired improperly where the fuse is causing conflicts with CanBus (assuming it's hardwired to fuse box).
Short of that, maybe the unit is going bad?

its run through a battery pack that's hardwired in

Test without hooking it to the battery pack. Use a 12V adapter. If it works without being hardwired, then your hardwire kit or battery pack is the culprit. Otherwise, the camera would be faulty.

What does the beep pattern sound like?
Do you have the voice guidance enabled so hopefully it can speak the issues and provide more insight?
Have you tried doing a factory reset of the dashcam to see if it takes care of any wonky settings?

its the same noise like your touching the touch sensor when you first set up the camera, loud BEEP, i get that every few minutes
tried cig lighter and battery pack, same issue
yeah voice is enabled as i like to hear when it powers off/on etc
im reluctant to do factor reset
i will last resort though

Did you try connecting direct to the 12V socket and unplugging from the battery pack hardwire? Eliminate the hardwire kit and battery as cause before doing factory reset.

Difficult as its wired through to the boot and it's plugged into a power station

The G-Sensor? That beep wouldn't be constant. That is to lock a file if your car is impacted, but of course super sensitive locks it if you hit a bump, etc.
Is your beep random or constant?

I did not say it was constant
Turned it off and the beep stopped
Thanks everyone

Glad you sorted.
FYI Beeping when hitting bumps or certain activities while driving / opening car door and shutting would have been better description.

I drive over speed humps in the road daily, and it wasn't going off through there etc, the beeps were quite random
