Does Time-Lapse Recording Cause Significant Damage to the Car Battery?
1 Answers
Continuing to monitor and record video in the car when it is not in use will, of course, consume power and to some extent drain the car battery. If the car is not used frequently, prolonged recording can lead to excessive battery drain, preventing the car from starting normally. Time-lapse recording ensures the integrity of the recorded content while significantly saving storage space. Generally, recording for 24 hours only requires about 5GB of storage space, enabling all-day monitoring and protection of the car to some extent. However, the power consumption of time-lapse recording by dash cams is not substantial. Whether to enable this feature depends on personal needs and driving frequency. If you drive frequently, you can choose to enable time-lapse recording, which allows for better all-day monitoring and protection of the car. The battery power consumed will be replenished during the car's use, and there should generally be no issues within a week. If you do not drive often and the car remains parked for half a month at a time, it is not advisable to enable time-lapse recording, as it could be detrimental to the car battery.
