Dashcams!

I've just had a Thinkware Q850 installed and, overall am very happy with it.

With regards to the parking mode functionality though, is it just me or is the motion detection basically useless?

In motion detection mode, even on the lowest sensitivity, in the current weather the rain on the windscreen is constantly triggering it. As a result it's just endlessly writing pointless video files, filling the card up.
I checked this morning and it was recordingly pretty much constantly all of last night during the rain.

I've now resorted to putting it in timelapse mode (2fps). It was primarily active driving that I wanted it for, the parking mode was just a side-benefit anyway so not a huge deal.
 
that's the way motion detection is I'm afraid

i don't recall Thinkware making a Q850 (i had the Q800 pro)


ive always set motion detection to fairly low but not the lowest

Parking detection is a god send, well, it is for me as i work in public , so the parking can be a nightmare, just not for vehicles hitting yours either, yobs and drunks too
