I woke up Christmas morning to find that my car had been hit. Not a very Merry start to my Christmas [emoji35][emoji22]
To make things worse my current dash cam, the Aukey DR02 D, which I've only had since July, didn't capture the incident. So now I'm looking for a new dash cam. I've done quite a bit of research and I think the VIOFO A129 Duo is the one I'm going to go for. I was debating going for the Thinkware F800 Pro, but I don't think the difference in price is worth it.
The main question I have is, does the VIOFO have an option for buffered impact parking mode? As I park my car on quite a busy street, so having the motion detection on just results in it constantly recording and draining the car battery more quickly, as well as filling the SD card with with needless files. The other reason I need such a mode is because I work nights, and they are long shifts 12 and half hours. So the car is sat parked up for a long time whilst at work, then again once I finish and go straight to bed. It can also be sat for a few days without being used too.
Also is there an OBD-II cable available for the VIOFO A129? As I currently use one for my Aukey DR02 D and would prefer to use that instead of having to hardwire it.
Any help or suggestions would be very welcomed.
