- Looking for something new
I drive 5 miles to work, park for 8 hours, then drive 5 miles back to home. That's not enough driving to charge my dedicated dashcam battery, and I would not try to run a dashcam via a HW kit from the small 12V battery in my hybrid car.
I would like to record 8 hours when parked using a USB powerbank, ideally in low-bitrate.
My old A129 Duo (in our other car) switches automatically from driving to low-bitrate recording if the GPS detects no movement, I think the delay is 5 minutes from memory?
Is there a modern dashcam that can switch to low bitrate parking mode without a 3-wire HW kit? @VIOFO-Support?
I read in this post that the A229 can be switched to parking mode by a long press of a button. I would be OK with doing that on any dashcam, if it is supported by standard firmware.
