- VIOFO A129 Pro Duo & Thinkware F800
Since I just installed the HK3 hardwire kit I do not have much parking mode experience for this Dashcam. I have firmware version 2.6 20211217 that came with the Dashcam when I bought it last week in case that matters.
Background:
My dashcam (Thinkware F800) in my other car that I purchased in 2017 drives me crazy because every time I close the door it triggers a parking event. False parking events like recording door closing prevents me in putting any faith in and reviewing parking events. My main reason for not purchasing Thinkware again for my new car I just bought recently was because it talks way too much, told me things I did not care about, and had a poor wireless interface. Other than that, the Thinkware F800 still serves me well.
Questions about Viofo Pro Duo Parking Mode G-Sensor sensitivity and notification:
I set my parking sensitivity setting for the G-Sensor to High as per the Viofo A129 Pro Duo user manual. Do you think that high setting for G-Sensor for parking mode is a good choice? Also, if there is a parking event recorded how are notifications provided and false alarms filtered out? BTW, I have low bitrate also set for my parking mode recording option.
In other words how smart and informative is this Dashcam in parking mode?
Appreciate any input.
