Hi all,
First post on here. Unfortunately I have had to resort to an internet forum to find an answer to how my camera operates, which is not great - would just rather plug, play & forget.
OK, so I have a 412GW and hardwired to my new Octavia using the official kit. However, I am unsure exactly what the modes are meant to be doing. I have a permanent live feed to my camera, have Parking Mode turned on, have Auto Power Off turned on... yet I can't get the thing to do what I want! When I come to the car in the morning I have to physically turn the camera on (which is a PITA). The only exception is if I slam the door and it will then record the protected file. If it doesn't come on, it will not turn on when I drive the car unless I manually turn it on. When I pull up and stop for a while then the camera turns off, which is what I want. I also want the camera to record if something happens to it when I'm away from it.
Can someone please explain exactly what Parking Mode does when permanently hard-wired? Also, what then does Auto Power Off do? What will change if I change the hard-wire power to ignition only?
Getting frustrated with this thing to be honest. The app is also frustrating me, as it's pretty glitchy. I would have much preferred a Parking Mode which is reliant on optical means for protected recording - unsure why the camera companies have gone away from this...
Thanks very much all!
