Firmware confusion

[Ablaze]

I purchased and installed a hardwire kit for my BW1, connecting it to constant power so that it could record incidents after a G-Sensor event while parked as per B1W hardwiring instructions.
I came out in the morning to find the battery too drained to start (Even though I set the battery drain protector to the second highest setting), and the dashcam had been recording all night.
I then find on the forums you have to download a completely separate firmware in order to not have it run all night??
Additionally, while searching I see that some people were after the option to have WiFi off by default.. so I think, that sounds good.. until I see this is yet again another firmware update?
Then I download the parking firmware from the downloads page, and see that not only is it a .rar file when other forum threads talk about .bin, but the date of the firmware is less than other firmware linked to in the forums.

So:
1. Why are parking mode and Wifi default on/off completely different firmwares and not options selectable from the settings page of the app?
2. What is the difference between a .rar and .bin file in regards to linked firmwares?
3. Why doesn't the Firmware downloads page have the latest version of the firmware?

If you hardwired the dashcam already, you should load the auto parking firmware 20180614s from our website (https://www.blueskysea-inc.com/download/firmware_c0003)

This downloaded firmware is a RAR file and you should unzip it, and then you will find a .bin file!

I did try to extract the .rar with 7-zip and it said it was not an archive.. turns out I needed a newer version of 7-zip!

The manual says "You will find 2 files: file names cardvr_img.bin and default_cfg.bin.".
The 20180614s .rar only contains the cardvr_img.bin file.
What about the default_cfg.bin file?

Also can I have Wifi default Off + Parking Mode in the same firmware?
