Per Topic,
This is not a "Debate Thread". The purpose here is to now find people to run the tests I've done, and verify whether my findings are "Isolated" or "Widespread".
Please post results and findings here.
Parameters: (I've Tested on Firmware 1.2, 1.5, and 1.6 with same results. Also replicated on 2 individual A139 3 Channels)
1. A Viofo A139 3 Channel
2. Viofo A139 3 Channel Hardwired to Fuse Box
3. Enable Low Bitrate Parking Mode on the A139 3 Channel
4. Make sure parking mode works when car is shut off
5. Set Camera to 2K-FHD-FHD in Settings
6. People in Hot Climates...Maybe 30C / 86F with the ability to park in direct sunlight.
7. Park car in direct sunlight, and let A139 3 channel enter Parking Mode. Check on car every few hours to see if camera has "shut down".
8. Check SD card to verify shutdown was overheat (and not voltage).
9. Inspect SD card for corrupt files per the below image.
My Findings: 2K-FHD-FHD
When the A139 3 Channel, set to 2K-FHD-FHD, is parked in direct sunlight on a hot day, the camera turns off. The last files being written (Front + Rear Interior) Are Corrupted.

My Findings: FHD-FHD-FHD
Unit would freeze, but not power off. Lights remained illuminated. Last files would also be corrupted similar to above.
