Preventing Vehicle Battery Discharge
■
Depending on the car make and model, the power from the vehicle can be supplied even with
the ignition turned off. In this case, the dash cam stays on as continuous mode and does not
enter parking surveillance mode which will result in vehicle battery discharge.
■
Some vehicles with multiple power sockets might be equipped with at least 1 outlet that does
not shut off the power with the ignition. So, test each power outlet to ensure you connect to an
outlet that shut off with vehicle engine.
