GTLEGEND, You were correct.

I started testing the battery and found that the voltage was indeed very low while the car was off for a while. Going as low as 12.30 V. Now there is only one thing that is discharging the battery while stopped and thats the Dash Camera.

So I set the camera to turn off when the car is off, and went on an hour and a half drive. Parked the car off for half an hour, the battery was much better at 12.65 V. So I started the car and did a short drive around the block to see if the car engine will turn off when stopped. No luck.

I left the camera off for the whole night, and the next morning on the way to work it worked at the first intersection. It does seem to be the camera is draining the battery. Looks like I need to find a solution to charge it while stationary.

I set the camera back to on when the car is off, and the car is still working. Turning off at lights after a week.
