My first impressions are very positive. I will soon add some road footage, both day and night, for you too see the levels of recording. For a modern car 11.8 is too low, my car with an AGM battery will start complaining that the battery voltage is too low at 12-12.1v. I'm using the 522gw+rear camera with the overpriced official sd card, the official hardwire kit and the latest firmware.

Does a dashcam drain your car battery? If a dashcam is hard wired to your battery, it will usually be connected so that it can continue drawing power when the car is off, this could drain your battery if the right pre-cautions are taken. However, any good hardwire kit will have a built-in voltage meter which cuts out when the battery reaches a critical point. But it's the parking mode is what the OP is concerned about K. I don't have a problem with my dashcam flattening my battery either as I also don't use parking mode.

The 522GW features an IPS LCD touchscreen, which makes accessing the menus very easy. In these menus you can set all the usual things - video length, resolution, GPS on/off, G Sensor, Intelligent Parking mode, etc. Its around 35% smaller than its precursor (the 512GW) which makes for a more discrete install. This happened to me too now. I have a Seat Leon from 2019 and I didn't drive it on the weekend. When I got into my car, the dashcam was still on, but the software was frozen. The camera felt very warm. If you don’t want a dashcam to draw from your battery when the car is off, this can easily be achieved by hard wiring the camera through a fuse that turns off with the engine. However, the downside of this is that you won’t be able to use parking mode which is a key feature of most devices.

To learn how to use the 522GW, we will first cover the installation process. The dash cam can be installed in two ways:I bought the car one year ago and the battery is fine, also I don't think the camera software is supposed to freeze and heat up the camera. The camera was apparently running for almost 3 days instead of entering parking mode, so my battery didn't have enough power left to start the car. Discover the range of Motormax reversing cameras.

A Viofo HWK might also do better (if it's comopatible) but some of the current problems being found with Viofo cams might be HWK related so I won't recommend them anymore for any other than Viofo cams which need the extra power they provide.
