Powering
OBD (all cares from late 90s on) to mini/micro USB power, but keep in mind wire hanging out - make sure plastic cover can go back on - https://www.blackboxmycar.com/pages/installation-obd
Recommends Hard Wire Kit with Power Magic Pro (monitors and cuts power if battery is low) - https://www.linelink.com.au/blogs/linelink-online-blog/power-options-for-your-dash-cam but keep in mind OBD to mini/micro USB power will have wire hanging out and make sure plastic cover can go back on.
Parking Modes
Different parking modes - I'm partial to buffered parking mode with a sensor - https://dashboardcamerareviews.com/best-parking-mode-dash-cams/
