Whats the use of the parking mode?

Unfortunately that’s the conclusion I have come to having read the last couple of posts from Tiffany.

If they pull away immediately you'll not have solid evidence in the video, but damage to their car might provide that. Sometimes a person will stop momentarily when they hit a parked car, then you will have footage of them in contact and your car moving when they pull away, and that kind of footage is adequate proof. With 'g-sensor' type activation there is a delay, and how long it takes before recording starts is critical. I don't know this cam but with most others that's 2 to 3+ seconds- not good enough.

It will always be after the bump/jolt/impact as of course, G-Sensor has no way of knowing a bump is imminent. The footage still catches the moving car/damage/aftermath.

Another option is timelapse mode on permanently live, that will record 5 frames per second whilst you're parked, catching before during and after.

Or radar which should be ready next year?

chose a dual cam dashcam with timelapse parking mode 1fps, it wouldnt miss the bump front and back.
