This is Why You Need Dash Cam With Parking Mode

My truck was hit in while parked back in May of last year. The driver just walked away like nothing happened. He didn't leave any notes. The damage seemed minor but it was around $3K. Thanks goodness for the video. I was able to get my deductible back from my insurance company.

I didn't know they had that feature how long does it stay on for?

 

I just got my garmin 55 today, just waiting on my parking mode cable and it’s going on!

 

I have a Cellink B power pack so I think I can run 12+ hours when fully charged. There is a newer model of the battery now. It's call Cellink Neo. You can even check the status of the battery with your mobile phone. Pretty cool.

Let me know how you like it.

 

That is cool

 

The video was recorded with an older model. I had a few issues with it so I upgraded to this model. So far the rear camera locked up on me once. Everything else is great. The video quality is much better than the old one.

Cool will do.
Does your parking mode start recording when it senses movement? Or is it recording all the time your parked?

 

Records when it senses movement. Did you get a backup power pack? You don't want to drain your main battery.

 

No not yet. Is it that cellink you mentioned above ^?

 

Yes, sir.

 

Is your cellink hardwired?

 

Yes

 

I was playing with it today and man! Really good picture!
To you have parking mode cable on yours Sean? If so how you like it.

 

Cool where you have it located?

 

Under driver's seat with some Velcro to keep it in place. Nothing fancy.

 

Cool and did it come with wire long enough to reach the fuse box. Or you had to get it.

 

I didn't have to add any extra cables.

Cool thank you very much! No more questions lol.
This is awesome!

 

No worries, glad to share what I know.

 

That's cool, I didn't know it existed. My truck has been hit twice! And, a door ding. Would've been nice to have.

 

@nk1794

im glad it worked out for you. Why would someone leave is beyond me. Taking responsibility for one’s actions is a basic principle. I recently got a dash camera and I keep parking mode on even in my driveway

 

FYI, this is a really old thread. The last response before yours was from 2018, and the OP that you are tagging hasn't been on the site since 2020.









That's not to say responding to an old/dead thread is a bad thing, just letting you know you may not get any kind of a response from him.

 

I didn’t notice. But thanks.

 

I highly recommend dash cams!

I live in the Atlanta area. Ads for scumbag ambulance chasers are absolutely everywhere-and those ads heavily imply that anyone who gets into a wreck is gonna come out stinking rich.

People will TRY to get into fender benders with you. They will lock eyes and pull smack out in front of you.

Dash cams are great!

 

I have an old rexing, do you have any recommendations?
