    Hi Maciej,

    Strange that you had a power supply issue because of the type of battery you are using. The capacity of a battery should not affect the battery voltage. With a lead, AGM or lithium battery, the voltage should always be around 12.5V – 13V.

    And yes, it is indeed a great camera. I have had it in my BMW for years. In the BMW I have an AGM battery (2024). With a K5 and a K3, both with parking mode active, and an alarm system I have no problems with draining the battery. I can easily leave the bike parked for 4 weeks and then the parking mode still works and starting the engine is no problem.

    I have the resolution set to 4K30 + 1080P30 and the bitrate at maximum.
    Up to speeds above 200KmH, the image quality is still good for me.
