Parking Guard
Please turn off this function while driving. With this function on, the device will automatically record whenever it detects car vibration.
Use of the Parking Guard for long time periods will require a hardwired connection for the dashcam, in order to connect it to the ACC and GND of the fuse box safely and to provide the ongoing power required. Kits for this should be purchased separately.
