Want to ask sifu here which had hardwire kit installed... is there any apparent car battery degradation after installing the hardwire kit for parking surveillance?

QUOTE(blurjoey @ Jun 7 2022, 04:32 PM) My Amaron Hi-Life is still in good condition after 2 years with 2 Thinkware dashcams in my Honda City. What voltage you set for the cut off, 12.2V?Anyway, car batteries will slowly degrade. All hardwire kits will drain the car battery until the set cut-off voltage kicks in. Cut off is faster as I have 2 dashcams running buffered parking mode.  Question: Buffered mode only can be enabled with hardwire kit so without hardwire, Viofo won't even record after any hit on your car?

QUOTE(blurjoey @ Jun 7 2022, 05:08 PM) I set mine to 12.5v Hm, saw some were complaining about the Viofo parking mode motion detection being too sensitive and record a lot of video instead of time lapse... Not sure if I should hardwire as my car park near lift entrance of condo... Yes, you'll need a hardwire kit in order to use parking mode features.  I think Viofo can only set sensitivity and cannot disable the motion detection, correct? This post has been edited by xyz_cityhunter: Jun 8 2022, 09:03 AM |

QUOTE(tifosi @ Jun 8 2022, 03:13 PM) Just run time lapse mode. I am running 5 fps time lapse mode. In term of files and space used, just a little more than event detection - motion(low) and G-sensor(medium) when I tested. I guess 1 fps will produce smaller file when compare to 5 fps setting? Only problem is that my car facing the main lift entrance of the car park so will have a lot of pedestrian activity... I was also considering Thinkware and Blackvue but prices are a little off my budget. But if your budget allows, then ofc can go for it. |
