You can disable the parking mode permanently via camera/smartphone menu. If you want to decide ad hoc when to disable the parking mode and when not, you can disable it via smartphone and then turn the car off. There is no menu item in smartphone allowing you to switch the cam off.Inconvenient if the camera is hidden behind the rear view mirror.
It is so strange that even I disable Parking Mode from the Camera menu, it continues to record in parking mode even ignition is off. So we can say that firmware doesn't control the Battery cable in 3-wire kit. If It gets electricity from that cable, it starts recording. Sounds very strange. I think there is a firmware issue or we set up something wrong.
Edit: I've one more question. Is there anyone who is being disturbed by the white noise of the camera too? I've checked sample videos at this topic and there is very clear white noise with them too. Or does this only affect me
The camera probably does not recognized the parking mode. There are two ways to activate the parking mode:
- there is not detected any movements by GPS
- the hardwire kit sends to the camera the signal that the ACC voltage is off
