G‑Sensor Settings: How to Adjust Sensitivity on Your Wefoka Bronco Cam
Your Wefoka F10pro dash cam does more than just record the road. Its built‑in G‑Sensor (accelerometer) detects sudden impacts and automatically locks the footage, ensuring critical evidence is never overwritten. But did you know you can adjust the sensitivity to match your driving style? Whether you're crawling over rocks or cruising the highway, here's how to fine‑tune the G‑Sensor on your Bronco cam.
The G‑Sensor is one of the most important safety features of any dash cam. In the Wefoka F10pro, it works seamlessly with loop recording: when a collision or sharp movement is detected, the current video file is marked as “read‑only” and moved to a protected folder. However, if the sensitivity is too high, you might end up with hundreds of locked files from potholes or aggressive off‑roading. Too low, and a minor fender‑bender might go unprotected. Finding the sweet spot is key, and it only takes a few taps in the app.
🗣️ What Bronco Owners Say
“In the event of a sudden collision, the G‑Sensor locks the current video to prevent overwriting, preserving crucial evidence.”
— Product description (confirmed by users)
“Seamless loop recording automatically overwrites old footage when storage is full. In the event of a sudden collision, the G‑Sensor locks the current video to prevent overwriting, preserving crucial evidence. Includes a 128GB MicroSD card and supports up to 256GB.”
— Official specs
While owners love the protection, some off‑road enthusiasts have noted that the default sensitivity might be a bit too eager on bumpy trails. Luckily, the Wefoka app lets you adjust it.
🔍 Understanding Sensitivity Levels
The Wefoka F10pro typically offers three or four sensitivity settings (the exact naming may vary slightly by firmware):
- High / Maximum: Triggers on even minor vibrations – good for urban stop‑and‑go where bumps are rare, but may cause many false locks on rough roads.
- Medium / Normal: Balanced setting – suitable for most daily driving, including occasional rough patches.
- Low / Minimum: Only locks on significant impacts – ideal for off‑roaders who encounter constant shaking, or for drivers who want to manually protect files.
- Off (if available): Disables automatic locking – you'll need to manually lock important footage.
🛠️ Step‑by‑Step: Adjust G‑Sensor via the App
All settings for the Wefoka F10pro are managed through the Wefoka mobile app (available for iOS and Android). Follow these steps:
1. 📱 Connect to the Dash Cam
Start your Bronco (the camera will power on). On your phone, go to Wi‑Fi settings and connect to the camera’s network (usually named “Wefoka_XXXX”). The password is printed on the camera or in the quick start guide. Then open the Wefoka app.
2. ⚙️ Enter Camera Settings
Once the app is connected, you’ll see a live view or a list of files. Look for a gear icon or “Settings” menu (usually at the top or bottom). Tap it to access the camera’s configuration.
3. 📊 Find G‑Sensor / Sensitivity Option
Scroll through the settings until you see “G‑Sensor”, “Shock Sensitivity”, or “Collision Detection”. Tap it. You will see options like “High”, “Medium”, “Low”, and sometimes “Off”.
4. 🎯 Choose Your Preferred Level
Select the sensitivity that matches your driving environment. For most pavement drivers, “Medium” works well. If you frequently drive on washboard roads or go off‑roading, try “Low” to prevent hundreds of locked files. If you want to manually control locking, you can set it to “Off” (but then remember to manually lock important clips).
5. ✅ Save and Exit
After selecting, tap “Save” or “OK”. The setting is applied immediately. You can test it by giving the camera a gentle tap (with the vehicle parked) – the app may show a notification that a G‑Sensor event occurred.
🧭 Recommended Settings for Bronco Adventures
| Driving Style | Recommended Sensitivity | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Daily commuter (paved roads) | Medium | Balanced – catches real collisions without excessive false triggers from normal bumps. |
| Off‑road / trail riding | Low | Prevents constant locking from rough terrain; still captures major impacts. |
| City driving with many speed bumps | Medium or Low | Speed bumps can trigger high sensitivity; try medium first, then low if still too many locks. |
| Parking lot / stop‑and‑go traffic | Medium | Occasional bumps are fine; medium covers you. |
| Track days / spirited driving | Low or Off | Hard cornering and braking might trigger false locks; low reduces that. |
📁 Where Do Locked Files Go?
When the G‑Sensor triggers, the camera moves the current video segment to a special “Event” or “Locked” folder on the SD card. In the app, you can usually find them under “Events” or “Protected”. These files will not be overwritten by loop recording. You can also manually lock any video by tapping a lock icon in playback mode.
💡 Pro Tips from Experienced Owners
- Test after adjustment: Take a short drive over known bumps and check if the number of locked files matches your expectation.
- Format your card regularly: Even with locked files, it's good practice to format the card every few weeks to keep file system healthy. Backup any important locked clips first.
- Combine with GPS data: Locked files retain GPS speed/location, which can be crucial for evidence.
- If you forget to lock a file: You can still manually lock it via the app before it's overwritten (as long as you catch it in time).
“I have complete confidence I would be able to get a plate number off of this camera if I needed to. The value is a tad high for this item but most days, dash cameras are expensive even if you can’t read anything from them. This one is legible looks and fits like factory which are great perks.”
— Great install and product so far!
❓ G‑Sensor FAQ
Q: Can I turn off the G‑Sensor completely?
A: Yes, if your firmware includes an “Off” option. Otherwise, setting it to “Low” minimizes false triggers.
Q: How do I view locked files?
A: In the app, look for a folder named “Events”, “Locked”, or “Protected”. You can also access the SD card on a computer – locked files are usually in a separate folder (e.g., “DCIM/100EVENT”).
Q: Will adjusting sensitivity affect parking mode?
A: The Wefoka F10pro does not have parking mode, so G‑Sensor only works while driving.
Q: What if my G‑Sensor doesn’t seem to work?
A: First, check that the setting isn’t “Off”. Then test by tapping the camera gently while recording. If still no response, try a firmware update or contact Wefoka support.
Q: How many locked files can the card hold?
A: The camera reserves space for locked files. When the locked folder fills up, the oldest locked files may be deleted to make room for new ones – so offload important clips regularly.
✅ Get the Most Out of Your Wefoka G‑Sensor
The G‑Sensor in your Wefoka F10pro is a powerful tool, but it works best when tailored to your driving environment.
