The Parking Mode feature doesn't work well if Loop Recording is set higher than 3mins. Suggest for testing to set for 1 min clips then increase to 2 and so on until issue reoccurs. The official firmware was changed recently regarding Parking Mode memory card storage limit detection. Before the last 500MB-3GB of free space 'sometimes' Parking Mode wakes the screen with short User Alert prompt to erase/delete older clips. If this message is ignored and card is full and the space required to save the very next clip say 400MB won't fit on say 100MB free space the screen will freeze due to no User input to previous Alert. The older Parking Mode firmware versions closed that Alert and activated the Looping feature.Mine has crashed twice now. Happens in parking mode with stock firmware. Any ideas before i return it. Really want this camera to work for me as i love it apart from the issue.
This odd behavior could be a G-sensor Locked video clip which cannot be over-written but won't fit in available space. If the RO folder contains too many locked clips that may also contribute to non-Looping issue. It's also possible this issue only occurs on 128GB cards which could be outside the firmwares valid detection range. I suspect the newer firmware halts even on visual motion as it approaches end of free space. Much easier to test with 16 or 32GB card.
If the issue is unresolved let me know by starting a private conversation.
