Normally the 2 hour parking mode is OK for me, and my journeys are long enough that the powerbank will normally store more power than it uses, so normally the powerbank will stay around 70% full.
Sometimes I want to record for longer, maybe all day, but it is difficult to change the timer mode from 2 hours using the small switches when it is installed under the dash or under the seats. It would be nice to have a big button or switch we can press, maybe on the end of a cable so that it can be put in a convenient location, to say - ignore the timer, keep the camera on until the powerbanks are empty. Also sometimes I don't need to record at all, maybe the car is in the garage with no lights and recording is pointless, better to keep the power so that I can record all day tomorrow.
Maybe a 3 position switch - Camera Off | Timer | On
