First off, everything was working beautifully. The parking guard work, the motion detect work, the trip voltage setting work. Now, after a week of use, the hardwire kit will not stop supplying power to the cam ever.
How do I I know? The car is park inside a driveway with lock gate. For this, it didn't make sense to have the parking guard active or the motion detect active. So both the parking guard and motion detect was set to OFF. But, after turning off the car, the cam continue to record, for over 13hours. I yank out the SD card and look at the whole 13hours video of the car parked in the driveway.
Before someone says that it was in parking guard mode, it's not. The whole 13hours is in 1080p. And yes, I also tried the RESET button. That didn't help
Then just for kicks, I yank the USB cable from the cam, to ensure the cam is absolutely power off. Making sure the car in not in ACC mode, simply just didn't plug the car key into the steering wheel column, plug the USB cable back to the cam (at this point, it should not power on since, well, parking guard mode off, and no ACC signal), the cam power on.
At this point, I have one hardwire kit that stop working and now another hardwire kit that will not stop supply power to the cam. With so much issues, I'm going back to the old USB charger. At least with that, when the engine turns off, the cam will also turn off.
