Greetings DCT, This is my first post requiring some help.
I have a dash cam setup for my personal vehicle of a total of 4 cams, 1 front, 1 rear, 1 each side of vehicle.
I have recently acquired a mini 0801 dash cam which i wanted to use for parking mode time lapse feature as my current front cam does not have the parking mode function, so i decided i wanted to run dual front cams, 1 for drives and 1 for parking.
I have discovered that even though the parking mode settings are available, they need a hard wire kit to take advantage of it (from reading other forum posts).
With my current setup I have had all my 4 cams wired directly to USB ports to draw power from my 2x 20,000mah power bank which is handy for parking at locations for extended periods.
I want to keep the same power connection by using USB power to the mini 0801 but for the parking time lapse mode mainly (only).
Is there any way to somehow wire a hardwire kit or trick it into parking mode without physically wiring it to the car's electrical system, but power bank power instead?
Appreciate any help and solutions, apologies if my post is not detailed enough, confusing or too long! newbie
Cheers, OzJim
