I'm a bit confused by all these links you've included in your post but the problem I describe is unrelated to any of the those solutions. The V1 start-up issue I describe is purely temperature related so delaying start-up wouldn't accomplish anything. Powering the camera for a minute or so warms up the circuitry and then unplugging and replugging it will then allow it to boot up. It's not that bug a deal as far as I am concerned and I don't mind dealing with it on the occasions when the temps drop that low.
I seem to get more than four days date and time charge out of my Mobius super-capacitors although I admit I haven't let them go more than two days at a time for quite awhile now. I'm not sure what to suggest but maybe just try to start your car up periodically when you can?
I don't have (hopefully) any temperature related problems, I should have mentioned this.
I'm worried about the 4 day limit before failure on the rear cameras that won't be connected to the Vico Power Plus. There will be occasions when the truck will sit for 4 to 5 days because I will not be here to start it.
The Vico Power Plus will handle the problem on the front cameras (but only handles 2 cameras), but the rear cameras will not be connected to a VPP so the no start time limit will possibly be a problem.
I might have just answered a fix for my problem, I'll have to think about this some more but I could just build one of those gadgets that Radius8 was talking about ( delay on/off circuit) and connect it to the rear cameras as a separate line.
I just hate the thought of building an electric gadget, I get confused with a wall switch!
