Yeah, you are right. The dash cam is recording continuously without saving to the memory card, the impact is just a trigger to save the recorded video to the memory card.Those descriptions are a little confusing. Buffered simply refers to recording before an event trigger, not what the trigger is. From their description it sounds like they’re referring to buffered impact detection and non-buffered motion detection.
Well... for full time - full bit rate recording you just wire any dash camera to an unswitched voltage supply.Seems the most helpful parking mode option is missing: Recording in as if you were in driving mode!
I believe this is termed full-bit rate recording, assisted by hard-wired and dedicated backup battery subsystems.
In my experience, dashcams in any of those 4 listed parking modes always miss some events known to have taken place but which later don't appear in the playback, for example, those further from the immediacy of the dashcam's lens.
Correct.Well... for full time - full bit rate recording you just wire any dash camera to an unswitched voltage supply.
What would you need yet another dedicated parking mode for?
Just between me, and you I do not use parking mode.
In the rare times I leave my car unattended I operate the dash cams in Normal Recording Mode to achieve the highest possible image quality.
Indeed, you're correct if there were no limitations. However, the rationale for not implementing this is straightforward: It excessively drains power from the car battery, potentially causing startup issues. Moreover, storage space is limited, and parking mode's full-resolution recording could overwrite daytime driving footage within 24 hours.Seems the most helpful parking mode option is missing: Recording in as if you were in driving mode!

It's not clear to me why the need to wait until "someday" unless you meant "someday when dashcam owners have enough mula"...Indeed, you're correct if there were no limitations.

I hope we can achieve this REAL 24-hour protection someday.
