First, most current vehicle cigarette lighter power settings basically don't supply power when ignition key is in OFF position, so unless it's an older model, there's basically no need to worry about it. problem. Because if this is not case, then cigarette lighter is powered 24 hours a day, so if power of radio is connected to cigarette lighter at this time, then if radio is not turned off manually, radio will continue to work and consume energy of car battery, which is harmful to the battery.

Secondly, after eliminating above situation, most recorders now have a parking control function. In addition to need to connect to a normal live line on line (that is, 24/7 uninterruptible power), this also needs to be set in recorder. Understanding, main purpose is is that when vehicle is parked for a long time, if vehicle is hit to a certain extent, recorder will automatically start recording to record situation at time of collision, and it is convenient for owner to view.
