Update: Thought it was fixed but after a few test days it appears that even with the new device I am still having the same issue. At this point I'm thinking that it may be the parking mode draining the RTC battery (I have it set to 1 hour).. Regardless it isn't a huge issue so I'm fine with what I have as the GPS updates quick enough to update the date and time before I start driving...
Here are the events after I received the replacement
- 8 hours sitting -> Retained Time
- 12 hours sitting -> Lost Time
- 8 hours sitting -> Lost Time
- 7 hours sitting -> Lost Time
- 3 hours sitting -> Lost Time
- 7 hours sitting -> Lost Time
- 3 hours sitting -> Lost time
- 1 hour sitting -> Lost Time

Saved video of the even right as it booted up and the date does say 01/01/20

The time does update in the video so that is a good thing and is good enough for me as it acquires a GPS signal in < 1 minute and then updates the time which is much better than some of the other brands that I have used.
See the time in the bottom right corner
In the end, I think I am fine with the behavior of this camera as it actually updates the time via GPS in a quick fashion, I think I will just run with it and use it as it isn't much of a bother.. I am sorry for any inconveniences that I may have caused for the Street Guardian brand.. But please do let me know in the future if we figure out of this is normal behavior or if there was an issue and it is fixed in a new batch of cameras..
Wondering if anyone who has the SG9663DCPRO with the hardwire kit have seen this behavior..
