Frequently Asked Questions
Vantrue parking mode draining car battery — how to protect the battery?
Use the low voltage cutoff feature in the Vantrue hardwire kit settings. Set it to 11.8V to prevent the camera from draining the battery below the level needed to start the car.
Vantrue parking mode not recording impacts in the car park — G-sensor too insensitive?
Increase the G-sensor sensitivity for parking mode in Settings. Also ensure you are in Buffered Parking Mode rather than time-lapse mode — only buffered parking mode captures footage of the seconds before and during an impact.
Vantrue parking mode activates but shows incorrect timestamps — cause?
Incorrect timestamps in parking mode are usually caused by the internal clock resetting after power loss. GPS time sync during the next drive will correct the timestamp. Ensure GPS is enabled in Vantrue settings.
