The capability of a vehicle-mounted recording device to operate while the engine is not running is a key feature for comprehensive monitoring. This functionality allows for the capture of events that occur when the vehicle is parked and unattended, extending the surveillance beyond driving periods.
This extended recording capability offers several advantages, including enhanced security against vandalism, hit-and-run incidents, and theft. Historically, devices were limited to operation only when the vehicle was in use, leaving a gap in potential evidence collection. The evolution of technology has enabled continuous monitoring, providing a more complete record of vehicular activity.
