Leaving it constantly on (parking mode) is really up to your security preference. You're vulnerable to hit-and-runs if you're not recording while your car is parked. The downside to having it run all the time is that it constantly drains your car battery so it's longevity over time will fade.
I personally leave mine plugged in all the time. I've already been a victim to several hit-and-runs when I was parked (and caught them all, lol). The only time I unplug my dashcam is when my car is completely safe in the garage.
