Does the Dash Cam Record When the Car is Parked?

[Mckenzie]

If equipped with a parking monitoring feature, the dash cam can continue to operate after the vehicle is parked and turned off. However, the duration of operation will not be very long, as the dash cam's functionality depends on its own power supply. Once the vehicle is turned off, there is no power supply, so it can only operate for a short period. More details about dash cams are as follows: 1. Introduction One: Dash cams have two types of parking recording functions. One type records continuously as long as the car is running, also known as full-time recording. The other type relies on motion detection, meaning it only starts recording when the vehicle experiences movement. Dash cams with this feature cannot continue recording after the vehicle is turned off. 2. Introduction Two: Some dash cams come with their own batteries, but the battery life is limited. Some can only record for half an hour. Therefore, if the owner wants to record the vehicle around the clock, it is almost impossible unless the car is running 24/7. Without the vehicle running and no power supply, relying solely on the dash cam's built-in battery makes continuous recording difficult.
