Can a Dash Cam Record When Turned Off?
1 Answers
Dash cams can record when turned off, but only if they are equipped with a parking monitoring function. Here is some relevant information about dash cams: 1. How to turn off a dash cam: Generally, dash cams automatically power on when the vehicle starts and shut down when the vehicle is parked and turned off. You can also press the power button to turn it off directly. 2. About parking monitoring: Dash cams with parking monitoring usually draw power directly from the ACC fuse box via a step-down cable. When the vehicle is parked and turned off, the dash cam will automatically shut down (more accurately, it enters a low-power sleep mode). However, if it detects a collision or movement in front of the vehicle, it will immediately activate the parking monitoring function and record the surrounding footage.
