Hey guys, I'm running my dash cam off a "portable" generator (battery). I want the dash cam to drain it fully as there's no worried about not being able to start the engine or whatever. The issue I've come across now is the dashcam has one of those built-in automatic shut off when low voltage is detected (failsafe im sure so that it wouldn't leave a dead car battery and you'd be stuck). The option it gives me for the lowest voltage is 11.9 V before it will auto shut off.
However, my portable battery still has about 40-50% charge left but the voltage reading dipped below 11.9 so the dashcam shuts off. From 100% to 60% charge the voltage reads usually around the 12.5 to 12.0 range. But when the portable battery has about 50% charge left, the voltage reads 11.9 or less. I want it to just continue to record as there is still a good amount of juice left in the battery!
Is there anyway to bypass this auto shut off? Maybe some sort of software setting I have to hack into to lower the 11.9 V auto shutoff to like 10 V? Once again, it's a portable battery so I want the dashcam to drain it fully and use all 100% of the power up so that I don't have to keep recharging the battery when only 50% has been used.
I'm in overseas right now so my dashcam is probably not anything you can get in North America/Europe. The brand is iMotiv IM-100b

Any help would be appreciated thanks.
