Regular cigarette power kit = Camera is on when the car is on only.
24/7 Power kit = Camera will stay on when the car is on or off. ie: Park mode.
Correct! The only reason for a 24/7 Power Kit is if you don't want to hard-wire the unit to a constant power supply. Most cigarette lighter outlets today are shut off when the key is turned off.

My BlackVue is hard-wired and, when I forget, has been on for 7 days without any discernible issues when starting the car. I normally unplug it when parked in the garage; I don't drive everyday.

Any drain on the battery will eventually discharge it to dead. By the time a camera shuts down due to low voltage, somewhere around 7v, your car isn't going to start. If you leave your car parked for days then maybe one of these 24/7 power kits is for you as they die instead of your car battery.

If you drive every day and have a decent battery hard wire it and relax....
