It's great to see a manufacturer bringing new features to this dashcam despite not being the latest model.
After a couple of days using this new firmware on my two A119 with parking mode on (5fps) my experience has been fairly positive. It's great to not have to keep pressing button to change modes. It's especially good for the rear camera which I used to just leave on timelapse constantly before as I couldn't be bothered to climb into the back (3 door car) to switch modes everytime I set off or park.
A few thoughts:
- Does the g-sensor sensitivity for locking files have anything to do with the sensitivity of the sensor detecting parking mode? I feel it's too sensitive and I get a bunch of normal recordings while the car's parked. The ability to change the sensitivity would be good as it wastes memory (recorded a couple of hours in normal mode of a bush today ).
- Ability to turn motion detection on and off so that parking mode can record timelapse constantly would be good. It wouldn't be so bad if it was buffered but as it isn't, there's a chance the camera will miss things as it starts recording.
