When looping, and you leave your car parked in a parking lot, how can you keep an incident saved without recording over it?

If you leave your car parked in a parking lot, I assume you still have the camera on. I assume also that you have the camera set to EVENT plus NORMAL. If the incident is triggered by a force sufficient to trigger the G-force sensor, then the recording is automatically protected as an EVENT. If the incident is not of sufficient force to trigger the G-force sensor, then the incident is recorded as NORMAL. NORMAL recorded segments will eventually be overwritten if the camera is in LOOP mode. As the manual suggests, if there is a segment that you know you want to save that is a NORMAL segment, the best way to ensure the segment is not overwritten is to replace the SD card with a different card.

I don't think you can if you are looping. Get a 64 SD card. I can go for 2 weeks before it starts over. If you want to loop but capture incidents find out how long your SD card will go and swap it out just before you fill it up.

If you want it in parking mode, that's normal. If you don't want it in parking mode, you can turn off the auto switch so it's always in driving mode (not recommended because it records driving mode over everything) or you can press and hold down the left button on the side until it says either driving mode or parking more.As for only recording in town and when you're parking, it should begin recording when the car starts, and go to parking mode a few minuets after parking. The GPS doesn't tell it when to record. If you are having this issue, in the software, do the initialize or whatever it is button to restore it to default and try that.

Of course this is possible, but in so doing you defeat one of the key features of the device, namely parking mode recording to capture any event that may happen while the vehicle is unattended. It does not draw a great deal of power in this mode. If the vehicle is going to be parked for longer than 8 - 10 hours you can always kill the power manually.

it can only be used when parked and will make a file every time motion detection is used. there are 3 levels of motion detection

if you can get the "Quick Start Guide" you will find the answer. try their website www.zetta.com.hk for the manualIt has to do with "custom setting", options to start - stop recording when in the car.

Sorry, I do not know. When I am not using mine, it is in the house. It's a good question, I do not know how it would do in a car out in a hot parking lot. I hope someone knows, as it is too expensive to get stuck together.

The old files erase and the camera keeps recording without any input from you. Things to note get a trusted 32 gig card and format it in the camera and if you want to keep a event manually lock that video file so the camera does not erase it. If your vehicle bounces around like my semi truck turn off the G sensor option or you will have a lot of locked video files

The way I have done it is to download clips to zip drive or data stick. Then download the stick to your PC with the viewer software from the disc. Just had a car breakin at my house and the camera had a clear picture of the event and the individual was identified and arrested. The video clip enabled the police to easily add it to evidence.

Sure, just do not operate it while driving. It is battery operated and has a "record" function.

It continuously records. It will stay powered on if you plug it into an accessory outlet that's powered even when the ignition is off. It loops back over previously recorded video. I keep mine on 24/7 so it records when I'm driving and records when my truck is parked. It also has a motion sensor that can be programmed to record when it's idle.

It would, you just have to manage to provide power to the camera. I in that case I would use a regular usb cable and a battery bank (like those used for cellphones) to supply power to the unit while your car is parked. This way you won't worry about draining your car's battery while the camera is recording.

No. When the camera is powered by a switched outlet in your car, it will turn on and automatically begin recording when you start the car. The camera also has a recharagable battery. You can also set the camera to keep recording for a short amount of time after you turn off the car. Once the time limit has expired, it will stop recording and shut off automatically. Once you have set up this camera, it will record each time you start your car and will turn off automatically after you turn off the car. It is very hassle free.

As far as i know it's for situations such as sudden stops or impacts, to be able to record these events as a black box would do.

No, I don't think so, it does not work when the car is turned off, unless it is connected to an external power. So normally the car will almost on move when it is recording, and the motion detection function is not necessary.

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

I turned mine on and drove to my destination, turned the car off and exited leaving the camera hooked up. I found out later that it recorded for over an hour while the car was off and unoccupied.

To set continuos recording on this DVR-027 Dash Cam, all you have to do is make sure you plug it into a "continuos" cigarette lighter outlet plug, and leave it on / running. I just did this for my son. So just make sure your camera is ON and running when you turn your vehicle off, via the cigarette lighter outlet plug. If your cigarette lighter outlet plug turns off when you shut off your vehicle's ignition, then you will have to hard wire another cigarette lighter outlet separately, in order to achieve the "ALWAYS ON" function needed.
