Hardwire Dash Cam Kits and Installation Guide

It means connecting the camera through a purpose-made power kit routed to an appropriate vehicle circuit, rather than leaving a cable plugged into the cabin socket.

A compatible kit often enables parking mode by providing permanent power and ignition-state detection. The camera and kit must both support the intended parking feature.

Any parked accessory can consume energy. Use a compatible kit with low-voltage protection, sensible cut-off settings and professional advice for vehicles that are driven infrequently.

Follow the vehicle and hardwire-kit instructions. Do not use a safety-critical circuit, and ask an automotive electrician when the fuse map or electrical architecture is unclear.
