Hello guys,
I've recently built a dashcam into my 2017 Civic sedan. I'm not owning a garage, that's why I also want to protect my car with the so called parking mode.
I used a hardwire kit, which goes into the fuse box, so the dashcam gets constant power, even if the car is off. The hardwire kit should prevent the car battery from fully discharging, so I assume it cuts the dashcams power off when the car battery has less than 11.6 Volt.
With the myhonda-App I could see that after several hours of parking the battery voltage droped from 12.8 volts to 12.2 volts (I know there are different time and date on the pictures)
So the big question is, how much I'm damaging my car battery if the voltage goes permanently down to less then 12 volts or even 11.6 volts.
The dashcam model is Viofo A129 duo, if anybody wants to know.
Thanks
