I'm not a great fan of asking cameras to do anything more than record audio & video. So I've always turned off the G-sensor as I've always found them to be overly sensitive - even on lowest setting, bumps and potholes tend to set off the sensor so you end up with a folder chock full of useless files & no room for the one you really need - unless you regularly go through & delete.
On all the cams that I've had with this feature, it saves the g-sensor file in the locked folder PLUS the same file in the normal folder. So not only getting loads of false readings from bumps and potholes but the cam also working overtime to save two lots of info
 
I know it's OT but I'm curious: what does it say on that sign half-hidden by the tree in the back, over the top right of your car?

Not on this one.
The portion of event file is not in normal folder and vice versa.
There is only few seconds overlap in the beginning.

On my G1W-H if one file is locked, manually or not, it is removed from the normal recording folder and goes to the locked files folder.
 
Finally got around at night with this camera.
Here are some night screenshots:
Some are @ EV=0, some @ EV=+1 and some @ EV=+2.

All videos are @ 2304*1296p resolution.

You reviewed this one with Rexing V1 (at least looks like it from the pictures). Which one do you think has upper hand among these two, or which one would you recommend?

Video: Vantrue (Ambarella chip has better video and has more features like 1296p)
Audio: V1
Form factor: V1
Just check my two threads and compare the videos.
There should be few clips with same/similar street footage.
