Does the Dash Cam Continue Recording When Parked?

[JadeFitz]

Automotive dash cams are equipped with a parking monitoring feature, but this does not mean continuous recording. The dash cam will automatically activate and enter recording mode only when the vehicle senses vibrations caused by external impacts. After recording for no more than 15 seconds, it will return to sleep mode. Most dash cams have similar parking monitoring setup methods. You can find the 'Parking Monitoring' option in the 'Settings' menu. Once the parking monitoring feature is enabled, the dash cam will automatically start recording a parking monitoring video when the car is subjected to external impacts, saving it in the emergency video folder. Upon restarting the vehicle, the dash cam will automatically switch back to the loop recording mode. It's important to note that the parking monitoring function of a dash cam can be powered either by the device's built-in battery or the car battery. In most cases, the car battery is used for power supply. When selecting a voltage reduction cable, it is recommended to choose one with both voltage reduction and low-voltage protection functions to prevent situations where the battery is drained and the car cannot start.
