Before you can record videos while parked, you must connect your dash camera to an always-on, 12V power cable, or to the parking mode cable accessory (Constant Power Cable).

The Parking Guard feature allows the camera to record video automatically while your vehicle is parked. When you turn off your vehicle, the camera automatically enters parked recording mode. The camera automatically records video each time it detects an incident, and sends a notification to your smartphone when the camera is connected to a Wi‑Fi^® network. You can manage Parking Guard settings from the Garmin Drive™ app on your smartphone.
