You should pull footage now to ensure it’s working the way you want. I realized my date/timestamps were broken cuz the camera was only powered when the car was. Misc stuff like that is good to know ahead of time
That is something I've been meaning to do since installing it but haven't yet months later. I do keep mine powered constantly so I might not have your same issue but it would be really shitty to actually need it someday and find out it hadn't been recording this whole time.
One of these days I need to get around to hard-wiring my dashcam so that it can always be powered.
