I updated to the latest v1.9 firmware yesterday. I really haven't gone anywhere and parked, just through a drive-thru and back home. I usually turn the camera off when home because it's either in the garage or in the driveway and I have a security cam above the garage door that looks over my driveway, so no need for the dash cam to be running.
Anyway, I left it in parking mode for a while today while in the driveway. I'm just now looking over the files on the card and I noticed that twice it didn't record/save a rear clip (PR). There is a PF clip for the same timestamp, but no PR. It goes right on to another PF clip. It's only done it twice among a couple dozen 43-45 second clips.
Everything else seemed to work OK so far.
I wish the buffered parking mode would record at higher bitrate, especially on the rear camera. I've noticed in a parking lot at night the front cam looks fine but the rear cam is grainy as all get out. My front parking mode clip bitrates are around 9832kbps while the rear is only around 8194kbps
I know the dark tint on the rear window doesn't help, but during the day the rear cam footage looks fine and not too dark. Maybe I'll play around with the rear exposure setting to try and get better night video without the day video getting washed out.
Just about to check my footage. I'll let you know how how it goes and settings I've used
