Way to trigger parking mode without car ignition

[Mulder]

Hi
Having the camera hardwired with Hk4.
In case I turned off the camera after car engine is off, and after some hours I went back and turn the camera only on,
although all possible parking mode settings are on, the camera is recording continuously in driving mode.

Is there a way to let a turned-on camera sample the state of the car, if it is standing for 3 min trigger automatically parking mode scenario.

I want to avoid turning on and turning off my car for such scenarios to trigger "late " parking mode intentions.
Any help appreciated

It should go into parking mode after 5 minutes. I don't know if it actually does in that specific situation? Give it a test if you haven't already...

Where is it specified, it seems it doesn't work, as I did this test and I was recording several hours in driving mode , while parking.
Parking mode seems to be triggered just as a result of turning my car engine off for now, any changes in camera state afterward ruins the parking mode trigger.

All in all, it doesn't matter much to me whether the parking mode is activated automatically or manually via menu selection and the available 90-second delay.
Unfortunately, in my car I have a problem with the battery, which can discharge and immobilize the car. The service department claims that the battery is in good working order ...
Therefore, I am looking for a power source other than the 12V battery.
As I mentioned when I tested the A119 Mini 2, I was able to activate the parking mode without any problem, I thought that in the A229 Pro I will be able to achieve the same effect...

However the circumstances are a little different, you are using the hardwire kit and not the charging cable as instructed in that post.

It may be possible for Viofo to fix this for you, if you ask, It does seem like a fault that maybe nobody thought about before.

I think you can also solve the problem by turning the ignition on, then off again, instead of just turning the camera on? Or maybe I don't understand why this is actually an issue?

I can solve it by turning on my car and right then switching off just for parking mode, but doing it possible many times a week sounds like an overkill to car's battery
