Record useful evidence when someone approaches your parked car.

Evidence beats suspicion

After vandalism, it can be hard to know whether the damage came from a person, a passing vehicle, weather, or an object. A clip around the moment can make the difference between guessing and explaining what happened.

Parking Guard saves event clips locally with metadata, so the evidence remains reviewable even without internet access.

Tune for suspicious approach patterns

For vandalism or break-in attempts, motion detection is usually the first signal. Sound can help with glass, tool, voice, or contact noise. Impact can help if the vehicle is bumped or shaken.

Sensitivity is adjustable in three levels per detection mode. Strong sensitivity catches more but can create more false positives; weak sensitivity is quieter but may miss subtle activity.

Use the flash carefully

Parking Guard can blink the phone flashlight when selected detection modes trigger. It is meant as a visible deterrent, not a guarantee that someone will stop.

You can choose which detection modes are allowed to trigger the flashlight. The default is off, so you decide when it fits the location.

• Useful in visible placements where deterrence matters.
• Less useful when the phone should stay hidden.
• May increase attention to the device, so use judgment.

Know the boundaries

Parking Guard is not law enforcement, not insurance, and not a promise of full coverage. It depends on phone placement, lighting, reflections, battery, permissions, and operating-system behavior.

Use it as a practical evidence layer for short and medium parking sessions, especially where you can place a spare phone with a stable view.
