I apologize if I've posted this in the wrong thread. I can post it to a different one if need be.
I need something to watch my car in the parking lot while I'm at work. I've dealt with vandalism before, and I don't want it to happen again once I get a new car. Doesn't have to be 24/7 since I have a camera to watch my car when I'm home. I'm usually at work for 9-10 hours, but once I'm home I'll try to turn off my dash camera. I want a 3 channel camera to keep all sides covered, but I'm not sure if it's feasible with the parking mode.
This is the battery pack that I want.

I was thinking of getting the Ecoflow River 2, but there seems to be instances where it's battery life is below it's 256Wh capacity. The Ecoflow River 2 Max 500 might break the bank, but I feel safer with it's purported 499Wh. I've heard that the Ecoflow River 2 cannot go over 40 C. Is this the same as the Ecoflow River 2 Max 500? I live in Michigan and we're dealing with a heat wave at the moment. But at least it's very rare to go over 40C around here. But I'm scared since each summer only gets hotter.
For the dash camera, I'm thinking of the vantrue N4S:

It's relatively affordable, offers 3 channel, and uses a Starvis sensor. I'm still not sure how long the parking mode lasts, and I will have to research that.
Will this work with the Ecoflow River 2 Max 500? I'm hoping for an option that won't leave me constantly recharging the battery pack. I also want to ask about the recharging process. I know that typically you're supposed to drive the car to recharge it, but I usually don't drive that far. Is it possible for me to charge the Ecoflow with an AC outlet while my dash camera is powered off?
I'm not tech savvy, so any advice is greatly appreciated.
