Why does the camera power down after only 5 to 6 hours of motion detection in parking mode using the vantrue hardwire kit. Camera in 5 min loop setting. It had nothin to do with heat or sun light as this happened at night time
 
Could be your car 12v system running low?
 
Yes you are probably hitting the low voltage cut off in the hard wire kit.
And you want that CUZ ordinary car batteries ( lead / acid ) are not made for deep discharge, they are made to be 100 % charged all the time and then only having to start your car.

You can try and see in the morning when you start your car, if it have a voltage read out somewhere in the gauge cluster or on the dash, or measure on the battery itself if you have a voltage tester, but your battery will probably be down around 11.8 volts if not less.

With my original battery a few years ago ( 2012 car ) i had some problems testing a new dashcam, but the battery was not really displaying any signs of aging, but replacing the battery fixed that problem none the less.
