Interesting! Nice retrofit option idea here.
There's a few of these universal type devices on the market, majority of cameras still use batteries so parking mode needs to be used with caution with those types of camera
With caution? Why and how..?
Is it safe to leave the cam in a locked car all day in the Sun if the cam is off?
Concerned the battery might catch fire or explode.

It's better if the camera is off, but still risky. If you open the door and get a waft of hot air, you should really be taking the camera out of the car.
I use a reflective sun-visor and tuck it between the camera and glass (so the camera is in the shadow of the visor). But I also crack the front windows down a notch for airflow. The camera stays nice and cool, even in hot Australian summer.
Is it just me or is this information really confusing due to translation?
The timer if not set to infinity is active only when the car is not running right? What information is it that the lights on the unit provide? What does the button do?
Does it use any power when just the camera cable is attached? Is there any reason not to use the highest voltage cutoff?

Hello, do you think that I would need this to permanently connect a GPS tracker (that sens car position) to the battery to avoid discharge ?
Thanks.
