Park Smart - Activate Your Dash Cam’s Parking Mode with a Smartbox Kit
Have you ever approached your parked vehicle only to find it has been damaged? Such scenarios can be frustrating, time-consuming and expensive - particularly when there are no witnesses or notes left behind. You are left to figure out what happened and who was at fault, which may involve a tedious search for nearby CCTV footage or even worse, you may have to cover the repair costs yourself.
That is why many Navman dash cams include a parking mode option that is enabled with the purchase of a MiVue™ Smartbox - IV Accessory Kit (sold separately). The clever Smartbox is a hard wiring kit that connects to your car and ensures your dash cam receives continuous power, even while your engine is turned off.
The MiVue™ Smartbox - IV Accessory Kit prevents your car battery from being completely drained of power when not in use and has an automatic shut off function that activates based on a preset time or when your car battery voltage drops below a certain rating.
By purchasing a Smartbox Kit and activating parking mode, customers can park their vehicles with confidence and peace of mind, knowing they have reliable evidence in case of a hit and run, break-in, or any damage caused by a person or shopping trolley while they are away.
The kit also enables a tidy installation of your dash cam, eliminating the need to connect the power cable to the 12V power source inside your vehicle.
Parking mode has two different settings, Smart Mode and Low Power Parking Mode. Smart Parking mode activates, capturing vision before and after the device is triggered by motion or an impact, saving the footage in a separate parking events folder. While Low Power Parking Mode keeps the MiVue™ Dash camera in standby mode, waking up when a shock is detected and returning to standby mode after the event, to conserve power usage.
It is recommended that an auto electrician installs a MiVue™ Smartbox to your vehicle. You can purchase a MiVue™ Smartbox - IV Accessory Kit on the Navman website for RRP $59.00 AU or RRP $69.00 NZ.
