Hi all,
Stepping into the dashcam world after putting it off for many years. Recently involved a non fault accident which wasn’t too much hassle to sort out but a friend wasn’t so lucky and is currently battling liability. Anyway I digress.
So I’m looking at grabbing the Viofo A139 Pro 2CH. The main issue I’m trying to navigate is prolonging the duration of the parking mode.
I tend to use the car maybe twice a week with a few days in between of it being sat. The car does benefit from a large battery from factory but would rather not constantly bring the charge state down.
How feasible would it be to use a battery power bank with the above mentioned dash cam? I’ve seen some of the more dedicated battery solutions but they seem a tad rich for what I want to invest into the whole system. I’m thinking something along the lines of a 20,000mah power bank which I could probably hot swap as and when it needs to changed. Having a second one fully charged wouldn’t be too much hassle.
Open to other suggestions/to hear the thoughts of others. If the above isn’t a wise idea I may just bin off parking mode completely.
Kind regards.
