Will the camera be ok to be left on, and will the car shut off the power supply should the battery get low?

Mine (a Transcend DrivePro 220) has parking mode too, but it uses an internal battery. I have it powered from an ignition switched supply and it automatically switches to parking mode when I key-off.
