When I park the car for more than like 2-3 days I disconnect the car battery and connect instead some other battery I have at the parking facility (that is recharged periodically).but am interested to know!
Because these cars have alarms, dashcams, and so on, if you park the car with a 100% full battery it will take about 4 weeks to drain it completely and basically the dashcams will shut off after like 4-5 days maximum because of the voltage drop. So one week of parking is like 25%. If the car would not have alarm and dashcam the battery will not drain as fast and you can still start the car after 8 weeks. But it is what it is.
So that's pretty much the story behind the battery disconnect. Now, this VIOFO is the first dashcam I have on this car after 12 years of owning that has an interruptible kit that is not uninterruptible. I plan on moving from the old Itronics ITB500 for parking surveillance + some higher resolution cameras for driving on the other cars I have as well and use something like the 70MAI A800S (total FAIL so far) or the A129 pro duo (repairable FAIL) to handle both the parking surveillance and the high resolution recording, because nowadays this is possible.
