I am very interested to hear if people prefer the time lapse parking mode vs impact / motion ? But I have installed this firmware and super impressed with BlackVue support of their products.
I've been noticing that. I have 2 power magic pro's running. Once handles the dash cam and the other handles a Netgear Nighthawk hotspot. the Dashcam is set to 11.5 I believe and the hotspot to 12. usually the hotspot's power magic shuts down around 2 or 3am and the battery of the hotspot keeps powering it until I leave to work around 7am. Now.. the hotspot's power magic pro stays on until I leave in the morning. so I'm guessing that whatever little bit less of power that the Dashcam is not consuming. is been used by the hotspot. So far so good.
And this is probably going to help with overheating issues of using 4K. I had changed it to the lower 60/30 because of the overheating and after the update. I changed it back to 4K still using 264 and not 265 and it hasn't overheated. I'm going to give it a few days and try it with the 265 to see how it does.

Was that using 264 or 265? I’m still using 274 and no problems. Going to give it a couple of more days and try the 265
Ok great thanks mateNo. It will make the camera a lot more stable. And if you use the new time lapse setting. It hardly ever overheats.
I just got my DR900S-2CH and version 1.004_2018.08.13 is the first firmware I have ever used.
I see that the three parking mode options are (something like this... going from memory at the moment):
Did there used to be an option to record constant video?
- None
- Impact & Motion
- Time Lapse
