I'm seriously considering the CF-100 to replace my G1W, in which the battery has died. I have a couple of questions:
Firmware
Is it likely that product bought now will have the latest firmware, or will I need to update after purchase?
Parking Mode/Motion Detection
I'm a bit confused regarding the dedicated Smart Parking Mode vs the standard Motion Detection. I would prefer not to have to have the camera powered up 24/7 due to the battery drainage issue (BTW, my car has both always-on and ignition-activated cigarette lighter outlets). But I would still like to have protection when the car is parked.
So in standard Motion Detection mode with the car parked and the camera powered down, if my car is hit whilst parked, will the camera activate using capacitor power and record the event?
Cheers
