What is the G-Sensor Calibration option for, and how do I use it? I can choose yes or no in the menu.

This is a feature I hope never to use.... the G-sensor measures the force of a crash/bump/vibration, when it detects a bump greater than or equal to your setting it locks the picture loop so it will not be over-written, hence you have pictures of the accident. I set mine at 3G and so far it has not been activated by bumpy roads. Henry

Just click "Yes". It activates when you hit your brakes hard or hit something. It just takes a quick snapshot of the incident and continues to record. It also keeps the video from being erased.

The "G-Sensor" is a Gyroscope Sensor,... I have mine mounted to the back of my Rear-View Mirror facing forward (the highest viewpoint of the car),... the G-Sensor helps compensate the minor jolting, shaking and vibrations of the vehicle while you're driving. Now, if you take your vehicle off-road,... you'll probably have to adjust it somewhat but, for the most part, I left mine on the Factory Default Setting. >> Roads in Arizona, with a Speed Limit of 75mph, - are pretty smooth as is :-P

I'm not sure, but there is an excellent forum that can answer most questions. It's at http://goo.gl/SCAE8k

As far as i know it's for situations such as sudden stops or impacts, to be able to record these events as a black box would do.

Did you try pressing the "-" icon on top? You may need to do it a few times. Other than that you may be right that the sensor is the problem. Contact the company if the problem continues.

the monitor comes calibrated out of the box, it is actually quite good. but im sure you could use x-rite, but i have never used it to calibrate any screen. so i dont know forsure but calibration out of box is very good, it even comes with a calibration chart in the box

I think this is correct...Sensors:Light - YESAccelerometer - YESGPS - YESCompass - NOGryoscope - YESBarometer - NO

Hi, I checked the manual it does not list calibration procedures. This is an inexpensive unit and when it goes bad it is time for a new one. I had their previous model for 5 years before it needed to be replaced. Good luck

I have not done much with the sensors to date. Most of the sensors are simple digital/ analog I/O interfaces which would just require an appropriate I/O selection on the microcontroller. If you have questions about a specific module, I could take a quick look and let you know. I had the same reaction with the lack of documentation but I am an electrical engineer so I am not particularly worried about figuring out the details.

2 things: 1) The button will light green for testing only for a short period (around 30-40 blinks I believe). Once it has blinked more than this, it will not light up again until you reset it. So...with this in mind, for the first step, push the button in until you get a short red blink. It is now ready to test again and will blink green if the sensor picks up a magnet. 2) After you have reset the button as explained in step 1, we can check for a second reason that it isn't lighting. The sensors must be within 2 mm of a magnet or they will not be activated and the light will not turn green. If you are not familiar with the metric system, 2 mm is a VERY small distance. Adjust the sensor and spoke magnet so that they are &lt;2 mm apart and the magnet passes the sensor directly over the line one the sensor. Once you have this positioned correctly, spin the wheel and now the sensor light will blink green when the magnet passes it. ....3) IF you have first reset the sensor light AND then have the magnet positioned directly over the line on the sensor AND &lt; 2 mm from the sensor and it still won't light green then it is defective. My guess is that it is not defective. More likely is that the magnet is just not positioned exactly right to be picked up by the sensor. This is very finicky and you just have to keep adjusting until it picks up. Remember, 2 mm is a very small distance. Basically, the magnet must almost be touching the sensor.

The GS model has a g-sensor built in. The 23 dollar one for sale from FJLove is more than likely not a real DVR207 even the pictures in the listing show it is not.

I was not able to get this sensor to work becuause I was not able to access the installer menu. You have to enter the installer menu to tell the system to "learn" that there is a new sensor installed.You need to know IF you can access the installer menu (requires a special code) before you order any new wireless sensor or else (like me) you will not be able to use it. We ended up replacing the entire GE system with a DSC system from ADT. The DSC system has hard wired door sensors so we do not have to worry about batteries and wireless codes etc.

I ask the same question on G+ when I first got the Pixel and the response as I remember "Yes it works but why would you want to use it that way." The guy was right. I've had it since September and never have thought of or had need to use it that way. Hope you are able to get a definitive answer.

Sounds like it's defective. I never really calibrated mine, but it seems to work fine. Sorry! Send it back

I checked the users guide and do not see any information about calibration of the unit. There is a support number you can call.

The new version of this device has a "RealTime" option that is supposed to give a readout of current altitude. This wasn't an option on the older versions. I've only used mine for model rockets, so I don't know how well the RealTime setting works, but the functionality should be there. FWIW, I really like this little device.

Interesting question. You might try the Taylor site. My past experience has been that the calibration isn't correct if it is replaced. My friend upgraded to this unit when his failed. I will probably follow suit. ChefAlarm by ThermoWorks - (Red)

It is a choice on the menu. You have either normal mode or turn on motion mode.

I really want to say, "I don't know." There is no real way to calibrate the device except by using my carpenter's level, which seems to say it's ok. Let's put it this way, it's better than I usually do when in a crooked situation. When I have a nice horizon, then the camera grid works best of all.

You need software driver which assigns usage. However I can't find software driver on gearhead website. the little button on top that lights switches dpi
