  • On steep hills, in steep depressions or in tight curves.
  • When the camera is dirty or the protective glass is damaged.

  • When people are not in an upright position, e.g., when lying down.
  • Cyclists on unconventional bicycles (e.g., recumbent bicycles).
  • After physical damage to the system, e.g., after an accident.
