Check the power source that the camera is connected to. Verify that the connections to the battery are secure and not loose. If they are, take appropriate and safe action to secure vehicle connections to the battery.
Ambulances: Check if the power source that the camera is connected has a kill-switch. If so, proceed to step 3.

Remove the SD card from the camera.

Insert the SD card into a computer and open them with DV-PRO 5 player.

Adjust the parking mode settings in the config menu to off. If the customer requires parking mode, then they will need to take corrective action to either connect the camera to a source not connected to the kill-switch, or correct behavior regarding the kill-switch, and manually shutdown the camera before using the kill-switch.
