Sorry if this is not the right place and sorry again if it’s a silly problem.
I installed the dr900s with parking module on my 6 month old brand new BRZ. For some time I realized that the the module for parking mode turns of (I set it to 12v and infinity). It’s working well during normal mode so I checked all connection and everything is fine. Since the problem continued I replaced the module and still the same. I never thought it might be the battery dropping below 12v. Today after the car was off for almost 24 hours I checked the battery voltage and it showed 11.97! That was surprising to me and explained why the parking module turns off.
Is it normal that the battery drains below 12v when the ignition is off with a dashcam having the parking module?
I also have to mention that I have a hotspot in the car which sends push notifications (5-10). Sometimes it also saves events (5-6) in the parking mode. Will that cause more draining in the battery?
In addition, for a long time I had some papers in front of the windshield (on the sensor for the lights) and my lows, tails bumerangs and fog light were on all the time. I also installed the iJDMTOY bulb in the rear triangle which is was also on all the time during driving. Is it possible that my battery charging is below normal due to these light being on all the time?
Once I saw the battery reading 11.97 I turned on the ignition, started the car and it showed 14v which was a little confusing for me.
