Do you have parking mode and if yes, how long does it record after you turn off the car?
Also do you get the message 'excessive battery discharge when car was off' when you start it?

My dashcam is set to 11.7 volt so if battery goes to 11.7, it will turn off recording. I have see my dashcam recording easily upto 12-14 hours and then shut off. But that is due to car computer system finding that battery is going low and shutting off the power to fuses and hence I am getting that message on navigation.
