Most of these dash cams with parking mode needs a separate battery:

One of the comments on one of these links:

"My friend used to run his all the time on the car battery and after a few months it killed his battery. Car batteries don't like to be discharged at all (it kills them quickly) so it's best to use an external pack like this one instead which doesn't mind what charge level it's at."
