Can the dash cam still record after parking?
2 Answers
After parking, the dash cam starts recording, but the recording time is not long because the dash cam is not charging after the vehicle is turned off. More relevant information is as follows: 1. Classification: The parking monitoring function of dash cams is divided into two types, one is continuous recording, and the other is short-time recording only when the vehicle vibrates. 2. Operation: The dash cam works during the day using the car's power. When the vehicle is turned off, the dash cam stops working. Although many dash cams have built-in batteries, some batteries can only last for four or five hours on standby, and some batteries can only last for about half an hour. Therefore, the dash cam cannot continue recording for a long time after parking and turning off the engine.
I've encountered this issue multiple times. Whether a dash cam can record after parking mainly depends on whether the device has a parking monitoring feature. For example, the one installed in my car enters standby mode after the engine is turned off, and only starts recording when it detects vehicle vibration or collision, saving power while capturing important events. Setting it up is simple—just tap a few options in the mobile app to enable it, avoiding battery drain that could prevent the car from starting. Standard models connected only to the cigarette lighter power supply will stop recording when the car is turned off. I recommend checking the manual to see if your device supports this feature or upgrading to a model with a built-in battery. Regularly checking the settings ensures reliable functionality, especially when parked in remote areas, as it can provide evidence in case of scratches or collisions. Overall, choosing the right device and adjusting the settings properly is key.
