Do you want it recording even when the car is off? If that's the case just tap not an always hot source and ground the negative. Please elaborate, I haven't heard of parking mode
what about leaving it powered on all the time with motion detector set to ON?
My understanding of Parking Mode is that motion detect is on but not recording, recording occurs at a very low G sensor action.
In all cases the cam is powered by the car battery in an always on mode. If just left in motion detect the memory is constantly being written and over written so you could loose the incident.
I would have thought that as the Mini 0801 has the same sensory and recording capabilities as the two units with Parking I mentioned it has to be a firmware facility.
In parking mode motion detection will work better than g-sensor for this model, but here again is problem with battery: it will not last long and die soon because battery will be working constantly under pressure. So best is to look for capacitor based dashcams for any recordings related to g-sensor or motion det rec in parking mode.
To be clear - you mean "cameras that exclusively run off an internal battery". The mini 0801 has an internal battery, but that's just for brief set-up and playback off the car and clean power-down.

This is an idea - I have no technical background - but I needed "parking mode".
Is it anyhow possible use G-sensor as triggering movie recording? What I mean... In normal situation camera starts recording when power is switched on but if I leave camera power on - with continuous power - and recording off --> when camera detects G-sensor triggered then camera starts recording certain time f.e. 2 minutes and then stop recording and stays waiting next G-sensor triggering...
There might be difficulties with these two "modes" - starts recording automaticly when power on and this parking mode - however if parking mode would work like this then I can live with manual video starting... Do you get my point?
The camera doesn't have to wake up as it's active all the time, it should start recording within a second
While using motion sensor mode I've noticed a delay of 4-5 seconds (I'm sometime all the way through a light before it starts recording again). Additionally, I'm also having problems with the camera stopping recording while I'm actually driving. If I'm driving in a straight line and not much looks like it's changing, it will stop recording until I pass under a stoplight or something that trips the "motion" threshold
