Well my ITB-100HB arrived from Apple-CT with ITV-80 UPC.
Very happy with the unit and vendor - very good quality unit that is easy to use and very good video quality - so far.
The issue Im having is with the parking mode being too sensitive - it records almost the whole time its parked. It will stop recording when in the garage at home with NO movement - but if the car is parked anywhere with even very slight movement in the distance it records - and I believe it records for 5 mins - in which time something else very small has triggered it again.
The result is the supplied 8 GB card is full in about 3 hrs - which means an impact is lost with being recorded over.
I have changed the sensitivity down to the lowest point - but its still too sensitive.
Anyone have similar issue?
Any ideas on a possible fix?
Was thinking either putting some clear tape over the sensor to inhibit its range or purchase a larger SD card - im guessing a 32GD would hold about 12 hrs?
Also a word on safety for those installing any wires in your car either for a Camera or UPC:
1 - Avoid tapping into any fuse or power lead that powers any safety device on the car - ie airbags (often a yellow coloured wire)
2 - When running any of the cables around the car ensure cables are secured behind airbags.
