The 3 wires hardwire is like those used in Korean dashcam. It provides power when the engine is off and power on when the engine starts. More for parking mode. 2 wires only provide power when the engine starts. Or tap wrongly, will provide power 24/7 A119/s/pro have parking mode also but don't compare with the parking mode on Korean dashcams.

TQ CPL is to reduce the reflections from the windscreen. Something like polarized sunglasses. At night, the CPL will make the video slight dark than normal.

It will deleted all file including RO folder. The button can be select to unlock the locked file. Use the play mode on the camera A129. Stop recording Press sos button 1x Navigation using arrow left/right to select the locked file Press sos button 1x to select the locked file. Press right arrow key to select lock and unlock the file.
