Ordered the VIOFO A129 Duo. https://www.blackboxmycar.com/collec...cts/viofo-a129
Got only the two cameras and a 128G card includes GPS logging module and I added the remote to save a video segment. I'll mount it up and use the supplied dual power plug for the time being. I rarely park the truck away from home for more than an hour or two, so if I think I need parking mode I'll just keep the camera powered and let it run (unless I can modify the parameters outside of parking mode for Time Lapse or Bitrate).
I already did the FORScan mod for extended power port timeout to 4 hours and expect the truck will shut down power using the internal Ford battery voltage monitor. I did not disable battery monitoring. I can simply unplug the camera when parked in the shop or in camp for an extended time.
The option to hard-wire is still available if I just have to have it for parking mode but I'd still have to unplug the camera (at the housing) to kill parking mode in the garage.. not ideal to repeatedly plug/unplug the mini or micro-USB.
Also, I'd only need to buy a cable kit and GPS with mount to transfer the cameras to another vehicle.
