Hi @petepete
Two things:
1) Again, I'll go into something I had no intention of releasing until around October/November time. This parking mode function is something we are working on. As you can tell from our website we already have timed mode in place, where you can specify times where a different mode with different settings automatically comes on. Whilst our camera will be launched with a super capacitor installed, a battery will be able to be bought and the user can install it themselves. This function is not specifically for parking mode but rather night mode where different users prefer different settings to try and get slightly better quality etc. However, as you can see from this this would make, I don't know, the perfect ground work for the function you are wanting. Again, this is something on our roadmap, and I hope you can now see how we have layed the foundations for a lot of future improvements...the expression: A building is only as strong as its foundations, is an expression we live by. As stated numerous times, we are doing everything in our power to have the firmware, hardware, and that bit of fairy dust all as reliable as possible. This means that some 'fancier' features are not implemented yet as we want to make sure what they are built on (take the timed mode, and then the parking mode) as solid as possible.
2) You say it is incredibly simple, I really do not like to do this, but you really have no idea what you are talking about. NOTHING with a camera is incredibly simple. Literally nothing. like nothing. In fact let me give you a list of what is simple (in my opinion), sending a rocket into space, creating a time machine, creating a teleportation device. Working with the hardware company (Ambarella) is like pushing water up a rock face, not only that, but sometimes stuff you want to realise is not possible, so you have to figure another way round. Timed mode has taken about 3 months of work. Yes timed mode 3 months of work. And that is just for a basic reliable version, we have bigger plans for it that we have not even started yet. I'm with you, I thought a lot of stuff I wanted to implement, would be simple as it sounds so simple, but getting the APIs, commands, JSON, packet information etc is not easy, plus that's if you get it.
I really hate to be blunt, but this has gone on far enough now and not only that but you are judging our camera and make sweeping generalizing and quite honestly demoralizing statements based on your specific needs which we were and are addressing. Companies are allowed to have secrets and plans for a reason, and this will be the only bit of information released about the future of the firmware.
Your comment wasn't fair so your statement is irrelevant.
Kind regards,
Dan
