I've spent a significant amount of time searching and reading manuals and these forums and I'm having a hard time determining what the best configuration/setup for my equipment should be.
I have a A119S w/ GPS. Hardwired into my vehicle with this kit. The hardware kit was professionally installed as that isn't my thing but I've updated the firmware to 4.0 as available on the Viofo site and configured the camera to my liking using the included manual.
The manual I received with the units and on the website doesn't make any mention of parking mode. Initially when I set it up I disabled it as I didn't want to worry about battery drain when the vehicle isn't on and assumed this is what I was asking for. I found out later that I was getting full 1080p 30fps recordings while the vehicle was off and parked.
I expected that the hardware kit I purchased would've shut off power when the vehicle was turned off but this doesn't seem to be the case. My concern with Parking Mode as described in other threads is that there is significant movement in front of my vehicle while it is parked facing the front of a condo building with lots of foot traffic and vehicle traffic.
I'm not opposed to going back to the installer and getting the wiring changed but I'd obviously like to avoid additional cost.
Thanks anyone for any guidance you can provide.
