Hi. I just ordered a SG9663DCPRO kit, and while I was glossing over the reviews, something caught my eye and I thought the guy had a very good idea.
I'll just quote the section from his review here:
This is a problem I expect to run into since I park in the garage every day.. I also work from home so there are times when my car doesn't leave the garage for 1-3 days at a time. But when I'm out running around, I want that parking mode working non-stop. It would be very convenient to be able to pull into the garage and have parking mode disable itself so it's not recording my garage wall for hours/days on end.
Optional location-aware parking mode would be a great feature. In existing camera models, it may be possible to add this feature through a simple software update if GPS is enabled. In future models, a wifi module could use nearby SSIDs for location awareness, as well as remote transfers
Just thought I'd share.

I wish it was location-aware so I didn't have to turn off the power manually when the car's in my garage. (only applies to the optional hard-wire kit installation.) Not a show-stopper, since it comes with a volt-meter to protect the car's battery. But still...it's just a waste when I forget. Until then...I put a sticky on the door leading into the house asking whether or not I remembered to turn it off and asking myself if I really want to film the interior of my garage for a couple hours. I'm thankful it beeps before switching to parking mode, which is usually enough to remind me.
