This is a good camera. Except Park Mode

I bought this camera and unlike all others I bought and installed a cable kit myself to use the advertised park mode feature. This review relates to the parking regime, which is what I was most concerned about as my car was recently vandalized at night while parked in front of my house. With the exception of parking mode, this is a great camera. As a driving dash cam, as 99% of consumers will use this camera (because many people aren't handy enough to install a cable set), it's a great camera, especially for the price. My only gripe from a driving perspective is that 1440p is actually closer to 1080p quality due to the seemingly slow video bitrate. 1080p is more like 720p. But I have a trained eye. Most consumers and general users don't, so you will be 100% satisfied. Cons: Parking mode is the only reason I wanted this dashcam because of the 3 channels in parking mode. I will only list the issues I am having with my block. That's not how it should work according to the manual.1. Every event that the motion sensor records in parking mode lasts only 10 seconds for some reason. For example, if someone is walking their dog next to my car, the camera will capture the movement at a reasonable distance, and if the person approaches my car, it will stop recording after the 10th second, completely ignoring everything that happens after that. . This is crazy to me. The camera is designed to exit parking mode and switch to normal mode automatically after the car is started and moving. Not mine, when I pull out of parking mode the camera doesn't know what to do, stops recording but stays on and loses communication with the rear camera. I have to manually reset the system every time to make sure everything works properly when I pull out of park mode.3. When I check the saved recordings in parking mode, all internal camera files are corrupted. Only front and back files can be displayed. I just do not understand. It worked fine for the first few days. I may have to send this back.

Pros
