If the system is in PARK mode, will the rear camera see motion (even if there is no motion to the front camera) to activate the recording?

I'm answering my own question now, since I bought the Blackvue DR550gw-2ch for myself. I installed it in my SUV and tested the rear camera while the system was in parked mode. The rear camera "DOES" in fact activate and begin recording when motion is detected.

The BlackVue has no "video" motion detection. None! It has physical impact detectors. Like if someone busts your windows. You know, like a car alarm. Who is answering these questions, shills for the seller?

You need to hook it up to a DVR. If the software you use supports motion activation, it will be motion activated. The software is usually in the DVR. I believe it gives 60 degrees of view so it is not a wide field. This camera is connected to the DVR (digital video recorder) by wires. I used it to replace an existing camera on the system I already had installed

Yes it is auto - record mode as soon as the car is turned on. Do need to press anything.

If that unit has a video input or rear camera input, which it looks like it does - yes.

It would, you just have to manage to provide power to the camera. I in that case I would use a regular usb cable and a battery bank (like those used for cellphones) to supply power to the unit while your car is parked. This way you won't worry about draining your car's battery while the camera is recording.

Yes. There is a motion activation setting. Works fairly well. There is also a setting that allows it to "roll over" when the card is full and record over the oldest files.

Yes, there are options to have it begin recording when motion is detected. See this page for the options: https://dashcamtalk.com/forum/threads/mobius-in-motion-detect-mode.3656/

Ted D. gave false information. The camera itself is not motion activated. But if you attach it to a computer and use it as a webcam, then it can be motion activated depending on the software you use to record.

No. It is motion activated. You set it up leave it and it only takes pics and video when something moves in front of it day or night

Yes it has a motion activated recording with how long you want it to record after it is started. It also can send you a snapshot to your phone when it senses motion. If you have a tree branch in part of the view you can go in and set that channel to just ignore that section of the camera view. That option is hard to explain with out pictures to help. The receiver is very veritable.

No, this camera records only when motion is detected by its internal motion detector. It has no connection for external devices.

It does send an alert when there is motion but doesn't automatically start recording...unless I have NO CLUE. I have to manually go online to hit record. I would like these cameras a lot better if they recorded all the time...otherwise they are great!

If you want it in parking mode, that's normal. If you don't want it in parking mode, you can turn off the auto switch so it's always in driving mode (not recommended because it records driving mode over everything) or you can press and hold down the left button on the side until it says either driving mode or parking more.As for only recording in town and when you're parking, it should begin recording when the car starts, and go to parking mode a few minuets after parking. The GPS doesn't tell it when to record. If you are having this issue, in the software, do the initialize or whatever it is button to restore it to default and try that.

It seems like it's starts recording as soon as motion is detected. But it's a video recording, not a snapshot. Hope that helps.

Yes. It turns on and off automatically whenever the car is turned on and off (and continues recording).

Depending on how you configure the system, they will do either. You can also set it up to have an individual camera to either record all the time of be motion sensitive. It is a remarkably flexible device.

I think if the little red light is blinking it should be recording. Make sure to land it safely, otherwise I think it doesn't keep the recording. I haven't use the camera much because the quality isn't as good as I had hoped. Good luck.
