jack said:Hi, I'm wondering whether to buy GS1000 with new orange menu. I have few doubts, would be great if you could answer me
1) how long is the car charger cable ? (in metres)
thing is I'd like to connect the cable to the cigarette ligher plug in the following way, not to have a cable in the middle of a car

2) does it have so called "parking mode" ? I mean turning on recording after a move, question is how sensitive is this move detection ?
and for how long it turns on, 1 minute ?
the description says up to 2 hours, after 6 months of dailu usage drops to 20 minutes only.
3) one last thing, when the camera is plugged, is there any small led/light which turns on after the camera starts recording ?
just to make sure that it's operating and recording
Thanks in advance!
Jack
Hi Jack,
You will need to check with the vendor you are considering on cable length to be sure since sometimes it differs by vendor. That being said, most GS1000 cameras come with a cable length of at least 3m which allows it to be wrapped around the windshield, down the A-pillar and under the dash. 3m is long enough for most cars, larger vehicles may need 3.5m or more.
This camera does not have a parking mode but it does have motion detection. I believe it records a 1-minute clip if it detects motion. Note that using motion detection will likely prevent the cycle recording option to work. Also since no parking mode is advertised, the camera may not react well to operating in extreme temperatures when the car is parked. Note the 2 hour time on battery is very optimistic (I will update the main page!)
There is no small LED / light. You could leave the LCD screen on to see the recording. EDIT: I just checked this camera again and there is a small LED light above the record / ok button. Sorry for the incorrect info.
