battery life has definitely reduced to the point where it doesn't hold a charge and turns off right away if not plugged in, so parking mode is useless
there were multiple occasions it didn't record crucial moments. for example, someone opened the door and stole stuff while we stepped out to get something while the car was running (yes, we should have locked it..)
but that means it should have a continuous recording from when we turned the device on but there were random jumps in between the video clips. empty street -> suddenly 2 guys in front of our car, not recording where they came from even though the camera was on and "recording"
also happened when a truck side swiped the car. perfectly fine video before and just so happens to miss the accident part and continues a little bit later.
i would check through the files randomly sometimes and the videos are definitely not seamless in between the 1/3/5 min clips
it did come in handy several other times when it actually recorded properly, but after writing this all out, it leaves me wondering why i stuck with something that basically has only a 50% success rate...
*edit*
i eventually ended up hardwiring but that's not the main issue
a dashcam should record everything, not skip a few seconds randomly in between clips or random chunks throughout the day

The simple solution here is to spend $20 and use a OBD hardwire kit. No dash cam battery lasts more than a few minutes after shutting off. I have tested many. By using the OBD hardwire kit your camera is in a constant sleep state (parking mode) when the engine is off and will awaken and start recording whenever motion is detected. I use this in 5 vehicles with Vantrue, Aukey and Apeman dashcams.

even tried reformatting and using different cards and it just seems like random glitches
sometimes it's really smooth and seamless other times it's missing huge chunks

EDIT: Sorry, I made the mistake thinking this was the N2 "PRO", which is the unit I have and works perfect. Ignore my comments for this non-pro version, which I never tried.
