I am wondering if there is a way to set parking mode when you hand over the keys to the valet...so that the dashcam will record them parking the car, and then going into park mode so that it will catch any hits and movement while the car is parked. Then, start recording when they fetch the car, bringing it back to the pick-up point?
I am looking to buy the Lukas LK-7900 ACE and hard wire it to my car. I recently left me Beemer at the airport valet, where they park your car, and then when you return, you text the ticket number, they start your car and brush off the snow, boost it if needed and bring it around. It was not until I got home that I noticed they damaged the passenger front of the car at some point in the 5 days they had access to the car. Because I drove off the lot, and their cameras did not catch the incident happening - I am left using my insurance to pay for the ridiculous amount of damage they caused. I want to avoid that situation again by having a dash cam that can be triggered when I hand the car over, keeping watch on it right until I get back into the driver’s seat.
Any suggestions or advice from similar dashcam setups would be appreciated. I want to ensure good night video also, and the price tag doesnt scare me, I just want to protect my ride!
