I'm trying to contribute with helpful advice to a post on a Subaru (a car I own) owners web site about installing dash cameras. Someone there said they would avoid using the parking mode voltage cutoff setting when hardwiring a dash camera because it would also cause a dash camera to shutoff if the battery voltage dropped below that setting when the car is operating. I've never, ever heard such a thing before and wanted to check here if that is true. My understanding that a dash camera properly installed to run in parking mode fashion will only shutoff when a preselected voltage (or time limit) setting is reached when the car is OFF, not when the car running (even if the battery voltage happens to drop then for whatever reason). In other words, the voltage cutoff setting is bypassed when the car is turned on.
Do I understand this correctly?
