Any suggestions will be much appreciated.
Thanks

Depends what dashcam you have and how it’s parking mode works. If you put it to a permanent live you’ll drain the battery. The Nextbase cameras with parking mode can last a few days on a full charge as it literally runs in standby mode and only records 2n clips if triggered
