Has anyone connected a switch to completely cut power to their dashcams when parking mode is not wanted?
I just ran into some issues with the A229 Pro and battery issues on my second install of this camera on my wife's 2024 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid. I think changing the voltage cutoff to most conservative may have fixed the issue of the car reaching it's critical battery level and triggering it's battery cutoff.
During this troubleshooting (and just read something in a thread on the HK5 vs HK4) I realized I don't always want parking mode enabled. When my wife and I are parked at home in our garage, we don't need the parking mode going, adding extra wear and tear to the micro-sd card and the car's battery.
I want to find a convenient way to toggle the power when we are parked in the garage. In a a quick search, I found some USB-C male to female adapters with switch buttons. At minimum, I am thinking about doing this. If possible, I want to automate it in some way. I am into smart home stuff and have some ideas but nothing fleshed out.
I'm curious what you guys have tried or thought about.
