Ordered the b2k earlier today, but upon further research, buffered parking mode may not be ideal in terms of battery drain. A solar panel + battery pack setup would be an intriguing future addition but not right now.
I looked through the b2k manual and it doesn't look there's any option to switch to unbuffered parking mode? Can anyone confirm?
If that's the case, the 70mai mini dash cam seems like the next best choice-- 2k OS05A10 sensor, unbuffered parking mode, sleek without screen (I'd love a b1w with b2k specs), same price range. Looks like no additional hardwire kit is needed for the 70mai for parking mode? How long does the battery last in parking mode (unclear if the 24h description is literal or means around-the-clock)?
Car is parallel parked in the city, so obviously buffered mode would be preferred, but longest runtime takes priority for now.
Best
edit: for reference since I don't see the 70mai mini dash cam in the comparison tool or even on 70mai's website:
