I'm interested in getting the Pro as it looks like good bang for your buck and good performance. One thing I just want to confirm is the way the parking mode operates. Am I right in thinking the following is correct (assuming the cam is hard-wired):
If so, does anyone know if it's possible to configure the cam so that parking mode is not automatically enabled every time the ignition is switched off? So like an option in the menu to turn parking mode activation on/off? I've had a look in the online manual but couldn't see anything that specifically mentioned this as being an option.
The reason I ask is that most of the time, I wouldn't need parking mode so wouldn't want it to activate automatically - and I know I'd end up forgetting to manually turn the cam off every time I got out the car and would end up with hours of footage of a wall or just draining the battery when it wasn't necessary. For me it would be better to have automatic activation switched off most of the time and then just to be able to turn it on as and when I needed it.
- parking mode can either be 1) continuous low bitrate, 2) timelapse (1 frame every n seconds) or 3) on event detection
- event detection can be either motion detection or G-sensor
- parking mode will automatically be activated every time the ignition is switched off
- to disable parking mode automatically starting, the cam would have to be manually switched off (press and hold power for ~2 seconds) every time the ignition was switched off
