4.5 24/7 Buffered Parking Mode
When connected with a hardwire kit (sold separately), the N5 automatically switches to parking mode when your car is off. It records suspicious activity triggered by movement or collision, providing vital evidence. Buffered motion detection ensures the entire event is captured, including 10 seconds pre-recording. Low frame rate mode optimizes storage for long-term parking.
