How does the dash cam record in parking mode?Updated 13 days ago

All BlackVue dash cams enter Parking Mode automatically once the vehicle is stationary for a few minutes. If the dash cam utilizes the 3-wire hardwiring kit, X Series OBD-II cable, or a spliced connection to a battery pack, it will also automatically enter parking mode as soon as the car is turned off.

If the car is turned off, the dash cam will keep recording only if it is hardwired to the car, plugged into the OBD-II port, or connected to a battery pack.

Typically, videos are only recorded if motion or an impact is detected. When an impact is detected, they will create a video file that starts 5-10 seconds before the impact event (using its buffer memory) and save that file to the memory card.

If you want the dash cam to be recording continuously during Parking Mode, you can change it to Timelapse mode, where it will record continuously without sound at a reduced framerate.
