Does anyone know if the Radar Module discontinues transmitting RF when the car is started?
I am concerned that the RF may interfere with the sensitivity of my radar detector.
I know but, who knows how it was set in the software by the manufacturer. I did some current draw tests and it seems the radar goes off when you start the car HOWEVER. BEFORE you take the unit out of Energy Save mode you need to turn off the Radar unit, once you switch out of Energy Save mode you cannot turn off the radar and it will continue to run and draw power even in timelaps mode. (think that is a bug)
Also when in Energy Save mode I would like it to retain the recording from anything detected by the radar even if no impact. That too should be selectable in software but isn't.
You would want it off when driving as to reduce any interference with other devices, I did some power consumption measurements, it appears the Radar does NOT run when in continuous recording mode however may continue to run if you switch to time lapse or motion without disabling the Radar device before taking the system out of Power Saving mode.
These unit draw a concerning amount of power in Parking modes Motion or Time Lapse and is probably why they came up with the Radar Module
