I moved my VIOFO A119s from a car I sold to a new (to me) car. In the other car I had it connected via a USB outlet that was accessory/key-on powered. The new car only has "always on" outlets so I decided I'd like to try the parking mode.
After setting everything up it works as expected, goes into standby after about 90 seconds of no activity and when something moves in its FOV it comes on.
The odd thing is that when its parked in our garage it doesn't stop recording when it's dark. In the daytime or when the lights are on, no problem. However if the lights are out it continues to record and never goes into standby mode.
I tried switching to motion detection only and the same thing happens. In the daylight or when the lights are on it works as expected. But if it's dark it continues to record, never going into standby mode.
There's no movement of the car or in the FOV in the dark.
I'm using the GPS mount with the USB cable connected to the GPS mount. The firmware is up-to-date v4.0.
I can hardwire it to an accessory fuse but I like the idea of parking mode or motion detection, but not hours and hours of recordings of our dark garage. Maybe I'm missing something?
Welcome any of the expert's thoughts.
TIA!
