what are the major pro/con choosing the time lapse parking mode over the motion+g sensor parking mode?
Tomcat makes some good points. I also used time-lapse as soon as it came out, and my insurance co rejected one video i sent them because it didn't clearly show the impact. So maybe setup Time-lapse and lower the sensitivity?what are the major pro/con choosing the time lapse parking mode over the motion+g sensor parking mode?
Identify video files by recording type
Normal The dashcam records in normal mode by default.
Event When the dashcam detects an impact while in normal or parking mode, it switches to event mode and saves an event recording beginning 5 seconds before the event trigger. Exceeding the set speed limit will also trigger an event recording.
Parking In parking mode the dashcam continuously buffers video. When motion is detected in the dashcam's field of view, it saves a parking recording beginning 5 seconds before the motion detection.
Manual If proximity sensor is set as a manual recording trigger in the firmware settings, touching or waving a finger within 20 mm of the sensor will turn on manual recording.
I was in the understanding that in G sensor parking mode, the camera is buffering the video all the time and when the G sensor is triggered by a bump, the previous 5 seconds plus the 30 seconds or so after the bump are committed to the SD card?
I have just RTFM, and this is sort of explained on page 21 therein.
Here you go.
That doesn't really pass the 'so what' test does it? Either you want bumps to trigger it or you don't want thebut then again if you close the trunk after putting in your groceries it could trigger the sensor too
