I'm looking at buying this Camera. I was reading the manual but could not find an answer to this question.
Is the 12V power supply for the Camera supposed to be "hot all the time" (for power for Parking Mode) or is the normal installation using Key-On power and then the Parking Mode uses the built in capacitor for its power source. The cars I have seen only provide power to the Power Port (Cigar Lighter) when the Key is on.
If it uses "Key-On" (Hot while engine is running) power then, I assume, it is not necessary to get one of those "Battery Discharge Protection" devices. And if this is correct, how long does the Capacitor provide power for Parking Mode (would it last over the weekend)?
