did the install yesterday and every thing went fine. when i shut down the bike both red and green lights stay solid. Pushing the power button does nothing. the only way i found to turn off the device is to shut down through the app on my mini i- pad. is this how it is to work?
HI mark,
May I ask how long have you pushing the button after you shut the bike down? Here is the situation: You have to push the button for a little while then it will shut down. Or you can shut down the device through the app on you phone/pad.
Hope this information helps.
Have a nice day:)
Im not 100%% certain about this but I think even though you have a trigger wire (yellow) wired to something that comes on and off with the ignition, the units internal battery will leave it running for a few minutes. I use the app to turn it off to be sure or if I am unpacking my pannier bag where the unit is located I just hold the red button for about 3 seconds to turn it off.
thanks for that, it was what I thought about regarding the internal battery. this tells me im good.
i am confused. i thought the switched power would automatically turn the camera on and switch off recording when engine shuts down?
if not why is the switched power connection used?
Well, you are correct, I believe the battery in the DVR keeps it on for a bit. I don't wait to see if it goes off in a few minutes, just shut it off with the app now. I'd think the unit would turn off to avoid battery going dead.
mine does not turn on automatically either. I have to start and stop manually, which means i will probabaly mot use this camera
