So I've always ran dashcams, but have never ran one with parking mode enabled, so I have a couple newbie questions..
My setup:
Ford Mach-E (All electric)
iPhone 12 Pro with latest iOS
U1000 Front/Rear
Cellink Neo
-Cellink is powered via 12v cig connector
-Dashcam is powered also by the 12v cig connector going to the Cellink Neo
-Cellink is set to low per manual
-Temp setup till I can hardwire the Neo
Bank is receiving power and at 100%, camera is also receiving power and is powered on and recording.
My questions..
-Seems like the dashcam records non stop as it technically is always receiving power from the Neo. Camera generates a good amount of heat running like that and its only in the 70's right now. Is there anyway to setup the camera so it will record contentious while driving, then once parked shut off the contentious and just record with motion or impact? I know the car powers the 12v for like 15 minutes after parked, after that it shuts down the power to the 12v cig connector. As it stands right now, when I get into the car its already recording and will log an impact alert when I close my car door... I've searched through the settings and can't seem to find anything to accomplish this.
-Hotspot... This one was kicking my butt, the software, at least on iOS, is awful. I have a wifi hotspot built into my car that has cellular internet access. Is it not possible to setup the dashcam so it uses the car's internet hotspot vs having to use the phone? After 45 minutes or so I was FINALLY able to get the U1000 "registered" to the cloud via my personal iPhone Hotspot. However now when I attempt to connect it to my car's hotspot, it says its connected to the internet but I can't seem to use the app. Does the Cloud service just provide a live view stream and location, or will it actually store clips to the cloud?
Sorry for the newbie questions.. I was looking through to see if anyone had these questions and was not having much luck.
