Not sure where you're at. But I'm in Conneaut Lake Pennsylvania. We got some snow on the ground right now, it started coming in a few weeks ago but didn't get anything significant until maybe three days ago I don't remember.
I did end up mirroring the interior and rear. Also enabled low bitrate parking mode on a 6hr timer w 90 sec timer before enabling. But this is what my settings look like now, probably end up being permanent barring any app / firmware changes.Lol, yes that’s what I meant, if you activate both options or should then put you the right way round. Your T-shirt writing would read properly then haha.
Right now I seem to keep things about as basic as they come without changing very much. But I kind of want to play with parking mode a bit, so I'm curious... For those of you that do have parking mode or whatever set.
How do you have everything programmed ?
Attached is an image of my current settings, before anybody asks... How the hell did you do that in one shot. It's called scroll capture on an Android phone.
But I'm hardwired in w one of those voltage kickers... figured why futz w a 12v plug, hiding that wire and still losing a socket.

Each to their own, but thx...
Murphy's Law applies whether it's one minute or 10 minutes anyway... laws of chance don't exactly diminish.
Edit; I will admit I did set 5 min but mainly for ease of transfer times to my phone.
Fair enough.The chances of an error don't diminish with smaller loop times. But the amount of footage you lose will be reduced if a file were to glitch. That was my entire point.
Could you explain me please, why you use HWK and timer on the same time?Mine's hardwired too. I use low-bitrate recording for parking with the HWK set to 12.2V and the timer set to 3 hours if memory serves me correctly; might be 4 hours instead. Anyway it cuts off with the timer, not the HWK. Other settings are pretty much normal/default.

They perform different functions, one protects your battery and one decides how long you want to record for.Could you explain me please, why you use HWK and timer on the same time?
What is the sense in it?
If the battery voltage drops and the parking mode turns off - fine. But if the battery is good enough to record, why do you stop it and loose accident recording that can happen 15 minutes after the 3 hours you set up.

Thank you for answers
How long does it take to overwrite the 256 GB SD card for low-bitrate parking mode, 2 cameras variant?
I believe I was the first tester to have a HWK so of course I used it. At that time with it set to 12.2V I could get about 16 hours recording time. Unfortunately my battery is in poor condition now, having died 3 times completely from me leaving headlights on and twice more from leaving too many cams on for too long. That setting now gets me 4-5 hours. My van is never parked in any unsafe places for more than at most one hour, so a 3 hour timer is plenty. I did test it at other settings and for some months used a 12 hour setting. I'll go back to that after I replace the van battery but until then I'm just being gentle with it.Could you explain me please, why you use HWK and timer on the same time?
