Does it record if the car is parked and turned off

Depends, does your cigarett lighter stay on when your car is parked? If so yes, if not, It has a battery but it only last about 5-10 mins after you park, or after you are involved in an accident. You could wire it straight to the battery.

As long as you have power going to it , it will record. Battery life is 1-2 hour the most.

This works great.... but it does take some fiddling around with... I run one in each of my car... I like how this one has the long cord for the rear camera.

No. But easy fix by purchasing & connecting an extra cigarette adapter to constant power source thru ur fuse box.

No.If your car outlet connect straight to the battery you car record on parking lot,but you gonna kill battery.

If you follow the recommended power termination, no. As the system only comes on when the vehicle is put in reverse. And the monitor shows both the fred from the camera and the distance of each sensor from objects.

No it does not. Its recorded automatically to your hard drive if motion is detected.

Yes it does. When the unit is plugged in the car you can program it to automatically start and automatically shut off. It has a 1 minute and 5 minute loop option which eventually overrides previous recordings based on the memory capacity of the memory card.

If you plan to record video while car is parked. You need to supply continuous power to the head unit and turn on motion detection. This way, the camera will trigger recording only when motion is detected. Thank you.

Mine is set to record continuously as long as power is on from car. Shuts off about one minute after power goes off. Resolution is not that great! can't read license plate directly in front of me!

No, you need a memory card for it to record on. My camera turns off and on automatically with the car.

You must use it if you are going to record in the "parking mode." I hardwired it to the fuse box and it works perfectly. If you don't do it then you will have a dead battery sooner than you think!

Hi Smith, Thank you for contacting Timetec. Yes, if you leave the power plugged into the cigarette charger, when you start the car, the camera will start recording automatically. Feel free to let us know if you have any additional questions. thank you, Andy support@timetecinc.com

If you don't want to record anything, you can simply use the power switch on the unit to turn it off. Of course, every time you stop/start the vehicle along your journey it's going to turn on automatically. Not sure what purpose you're trying to gain setting the recording time to off other than to perhaps stop it overwriting the card when full. When that happens, it displays Card Full and stops recording. I have a 32gb card and just let it continuously overwrite.

It turns on automatically when I start the car, set to turn off 1 minute after I turn the car off. Also when you are bumped (G or gravity setting)the camera locks the loop so it can't be erased until unlocked.

If your vehicle has an always powered cigarette/power port then it will, you can configure in the settings whether it will record events while parked (basically motion detection & shock sensor) or you can disable it. Without an always on cigarette/power port however it will just shut down when you turn off your car.

It has a motion sensor that activate recording as soon the vehicle starts running. I don't use it, because it causes the camera to stop recording while in a red light.

Yes it does. I start my car and drive, and it records. I stop and turn my car off, it shuts down. VERY convenient! I love this recorder, and you'll be very happy with the quality off the playback. Day & Night Also...the video dosn't even shake.

Yes if turned off it will no longer loop. You have to make sure you have a time set or it will fill up and stop recording.
