Hi everyone,
I just wanted to double check my thought process here. Currently, I probably put about 2000-5000 miles on my vehicle a year because I live in a large city and predominantly commute by motorcycle.
Initially I was eyeing the Viofo A139 PRO especially hoping for black friday to yield some lower prices.
But I went down a rabbit hole of parking monitoring. I totally understand that we do not have Tesla and its huge bank of batteries. So virtually all dash cams have basically a 1 day max for parking monitoring. You can add an external battery to get it to 2-4 days? In both scenarios its likely to not help me. For example my car is in my shared parking garage and hasnt moved for 5 days. Parking monitoring would be dead by now.
I then stumbled upon the Thinkware U1000 - which has radar and the very very low power energy saving mode. That still likely wouldnt help me right? If my car gets driven once a week.
I think that the whole parking monitoring feature is actually just clouding my opinion and really I should just get the A139 PRO and not worry too much about parking monitoring.
What does everyone else think?
