The Off-Timer (Parking Mode) guidance states "What is the Record Timer?
The purpose of the Record Timer is to automatically turn off the Dash Cam while in Parking Mode once the selected time limit has elapsed.
*If using the iVolt Battery Pack, ensure the Record Timer has been disabled."
My question is what if I have a third-party battery connected that is not an iVolt (e.g., from BlackBoxMyCar)? Do I enable the Off-timer or not when a third-party, dedicated battery connected in line? Why or why not?
Also, what does the Car Type actually do for a hybrid? I cannot seem to change or set my 12-volt setting from the default. Also, a 24-volt setting is also enabled even though my car system is not 24-volt. Please add some explanations. Thanks!
