Easy answer, how many times have you accidentally recorded? A Bet a few. I've done it numerous times. In my case, while handling the gun, etc.
This is still a simple operation and I may be able to have it changed, still working on that. What I like is it will be a flush button, that's the main issue I have with the mdvr.
To have to hit the button twice, come on, harder to turn in the scope than it is to record. I agree though, I do like things simple, so I'll work in it and see if it's possible. Most of this type of full HD DVR's are configured a certain way, I'm just trying to fine tune a product and keep it affordable.
I'm also trying to cut the cost even further. When you jump up to true HD DVR, it almost doubles the price. The good thing, it has that annoying buzzing sounds when it comes on lol, just like the mdvr and lawmate.
