You can just press and hold the menu button (left button) and power down the camera.Viofo A129 Duo with 3 wire parking kit..... Will I be able to turn off parking mode when I wish at ease? …...at work there will be a lot of motion, But I feel the parking mode is not necessary for me at work.
Correct.So, I have parked at home, then will press and hold menu button to power down the camera and it will not drain my car battery when I am not driving for a week, right?
No, you can do it after turning the engine off, just make sure the screen/lights are all off.Do I have to do it before switching off engine/ACC?
Automatic.Then, when I want to drive a car and record it, it will switch on with engine running or do I need to start up the camera manually?
Do I have to do it before switching off engine/ACC?
Even in winter, lol?Thank you all . It would be great to be automatic just like kamkar1 told - by position. But disabling camera everytime is fine. Even if I forget, camera will be cut by voltage level and still will be able to start the car later.
I'm sorry to kick this topic, but I don't know where to place my question elsewhere.
I own a Viofo A139 2ch and would like to use the same function. I've tried to long-press the power button when the dashcam is in parking mode, but nothing happens. Is this an error or is it supposed to be?
Is there another method to disable parking mode when I don't need it? (When engine is off).
Firmware version V1.5_0701 for Viofo_A139
Dashcam is connected by HK3-C hardwire kit
In the newest V1.6, the dashcam can be turned off in the parking mode. We'll announce the release in the near future.
People can get to it when you give them the car keys, maybe you take the car for a service, or give it to the parking attendant, or to your partner, or employee.What I don't quite understand is why it is a feature not to be able to operate the buttons in parking mode? The dashcam is in your car anyway, how can people get to it?
Be sure to turn it off before turning off the car or after the camera has already entered parking mode. If you shut off the car, then immediately try to manually power off the camera while it's trying to enter parking mode, then it won't shut off.I've noticed with the HWK and Auto Event Detection Parking Mode option enabled I am unable to permanently power down the camera. When I press and hold the button to power it off I get the Viofo splash screen and a solid red light. If I move my finger in front of the lens, then the camera turns back on. You would think the dash cam would permanently turn off until I manually enabled it again. There's certain situations where I want the dash cam completely off, and to remain off, until I decide to turn it back on.
Over the years there have been a number of people on DCT reporting cam tampering when having their car serviced. Most of the time it wasn't done by button press but with removed cards, cams, and cables and at least once or twice having the cam turned to where it couldn't record activity. So there's little point in having the bottons locked unless you address the other vulnerabilities such as how the A139's locking device functions.People can get to it when you give them the car keys, maybe you take the car for a service, or give it to the parking attendant, or to your partner, or employee.
