I have two Mini 0906's installed in different vehicles, both parked outside in southern California. In one car I leave the windows cracked, in the other I do not. Suffice it to say, it doesn't get below 50 degrees these days at night, let alone 70.
Neither dashcam will power up when the cars turn on if it's in the morning. Afternoon or evening: no problem. But mornings get not even a peep out of them.
I thought it was a parking guard problem, so I swapped the leads (yellow and red) to ensure the dashcams only turn on when the engine is running.
Then I also turned the voltage check to the lowest number to ensure it wasn't a low-battery issue.
And still, no power if it's before 11am. I park it outside in the 100+ heat, come out for lunch and it works. (I mean, it overheats sometimes, but at least it turns on) I drive home and it powers on immediately. But the next morning? Nothing, the entire 40-minute drive in to work.
I even let it sit for 5 minutes after arriving once, and still nothing. But I let it sit out in the sun for a few hours, and miraculously it works like there was never anything wrong.
Any ideas?
