Just installed the Dashcam today and cant get it to work quite the way i had hoped. I need it to save recordings at the same point in our neighborhood every time i travel past that point.
Right now the only way i can see is to press the Emergency Lock button every time to insure that the footage is saved. The other issue im having is that im saving the video files in 3 minute lengths. The area i need to save the footage of, is only 30-45 seconds away from my home. If i shut the car off before the currently recording 3 minute file is recording, the file gets deleted. I even tried pressing the emergency lock button before shutting off the car, it flashed the Yellow triangle with exclamation point and then went back to the normal display. I shut the car off (and the camera) when it still showed 1:44 on the timer.
Came in the house and hooked it up to my laptop and while the file was created, the length was 0:00.
Im thinking maybe hard wiring it and leave it in parking mode might be the answer. Any other thoughts would be appreciated.
