Camera won't record when car is parked

[sequlla]

I ordered a camera from aliexpress with bucket line and connected everything nicely. The red wire where it says acc is connected to the fuse for the cigarette lighter, the yellow wire that says bat is connected to the fuse that is for the siren because it always has power and the black wire is connected to the chassis. The camera works fine, when I turn on the ignition, it turns on and the whole time the car is running, it records, however, when I turn off the car, it records absolutely nothing, even though I turned on the parking mode. Does anyone know what the problem could be? I drive Suzuki swift 1.3 2008. Thanks for the answers.

You need to read the instructions and ask the manufacturer. The product is so cheap it's a wonder it works at all. There's a well-known saying... "I'm not rich enough to buy cheap stuff". I'm sorry, there's no reasonable advice... you have to figure it out for yourself

Welcome to the forum sequlla.

I am not familiar with this system at all, the mirror style cameras see very little activity in here, it sound as if you have the camera connected to a circuit that is only on when the car is running.
I drive a little Suzuki myself ( 2012 Splash ) so i dont think it is anything smart in the wires,CUZ our little cheap cars do not have that stuff, in my car the smartest in it is probably me, and that is saying a lot.

12 V power cameras, normally have a battery cut off value set in the camera itself, if you have that set to 12.4 or maybe the lowest recommended 12.2 volts, for the hell of it try to set it to 11.8 volts if it can do that, it may be your car battery are old and tired and so dont really have a lot of power in which case the battery low voltage protection will always be on, well aside for if the motor is running.
Otherwise as you say, you have to turn on parking guard to use that, it is so in any camera

These 12 V power systems, the way they change back and forth between normal and parking mode is lack of activity on the G-sensor ( turn on parking guard ) or activity ( you getting into car changing to normal mode )
So the transition between modes normally have a delay of some seconds / a minute or so. but if your camera turn off at once, that is what make me think it is on a ACC fuse / circuit.

Maybe there's an option on the manual.
