I am feeling very thick this evening, so please bare with me!
Our new S max was damaged in a car park a few days after we bought it, a dashcam with parking mode would have captured it! Sadly, lesson learnt now.
We have the 512gw and our cars cigarette lighter stays on after the car is ignition off. I have only just realized this. By the looks of it, the camera stays powered for around 2-3 hours before i presume the car turns the cigarette lighter off.
Now rather then waste 2-3 hours of footage after every journey, I am wondering if 'Parking Mode' will help here? After 2-3 hours the car will kill the dashcam but 90% of our park ups are aroudn town etc, so 2-3 hours is plenty of time.
With parking mode then, am I right in thinking we stop the car and leave it, after 15mins it will go into standby mode and only turn on & record a protected file if an impact is detected? Is this via G sensor, or via motion?
Many thanks,
