I checked the cam settings , it’s in recording mode and the cut off recording battery level is 12.2V … but it’s still recording when battery falls below this threshold value. But I think it’s intermittent fault .. I think when the batt flattened 6 months ago, the same trait happened, n I set the cam to lower sensitivity n try to park the car whereby not much movement detected… now I dunno to change the battery or not . Rather than voltage regulator, install a cellink neo. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm talking battery wise. Most Japanese hybrid cars have a small 35AH battery for starting. Dashcam would be connected to this battery. So you have the same limitation as a normal car with 35AH battery. Your dashcam can drain that battery flat, if it doesn't behave well. Hybrid batteries is separate from this starting battery.

I suggest getting another installer to check on the dashcam wiring or switch off the parking mode. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
