Hi all,
I am using A119v3 (f/w v1.03) and powering it from the USB 5V (using the power bank) via the supplied MiniUSB cable. Not using the HK3 kit at all.
Not using any of the car power supplies, so the car doesn't even know that the dash cam (further: DC) is there.
The DC is mounted via a GPS module.
The relevant settings are as follows:
Firmware: v1.03
Build: 20190924
Parking mode: Auto Event Detection
Parking G-Sensor: High Sensitivity
Parking Motion Detection: Middle Sensitivity
G-Sensor: Low Sensitivity
Motion Detection: OFF
GPS: ON
Loop recording: 1 min
Bitrate: High
Resolution: 2560x1440P
The sequence of events is as follows:
At night time, the car is garaged, so the DC is switched off (disconnected from the power bank).
In the morning, I get to the car, and turn the power to DC on (connect the cable to the power bank).
The DC then starts in normal mode and keeps recording the 1min long videos with the bitrate of about 30 Mbps (file size of each clip is approx 233,660,000 bytes).
Note that the names of those files do NOT contain letter "P" at the end.
The DC keeps recording those until I get to work and park my car there (I keep DC powered from the power bank !)
While the car is parked, the DC keeps recording until there is a 5 min of no motion in the DC's field of view. Then the DC enters the buffered parking mode.
From this moment on, the DC is only triggered by motion events (assume G-sensor is never activated).
Each event results in one 45-second long videofile, where the first 15 sec is a buffered recording BEFORE the event, then the event itself and then 30 seconds of post-event recording. Note that even when the event lasts fairly long (motion is sustained), the DC still records the 45-sec clips with 15-sec gaps between them.
The names of those files DO contain letter "P" at the end, indicating that the recording was done in parking mode.
And the bitrate of those 45-sec clips is low - approx 8 Mbps.
When I get back to my car after work (the DC was continuously powered since morning) and start driving, the DC does not get out of the Parking Mode, and keeps recording those 45-sec clips with 15-sec gaps between them, and letter P at the end of each recorded file. It goes on like that until I arrive home and disconnect the DC from the power bank, which switches the DC off.
Then, the next morning the whole pattern repeats.
Sorry for the long boring description - I had to be clear.
So, the question from me is:
When powered from the permanent USB source (like aforementioned power bank), and after the DC enters the Buffered Parking Mode after 5 min of steady picture in the frame, is there a way - without power cycling the DC ! - to get the DC out of that Parking Mode and make it to record 1-min clips with the high bitrate again ?
Thanks you,
DS
