My G1W (battery) is sensitive to low voltage. (I've only found one good accessory circuit and I've got a few electronics off it.) My alternator is good, but when I've got a low voltage in the circuit (e.g. headlights and blower are on, at idle, and I've got other accessories going) the dashcam cycles off and on, or sometimes turns on with "Please insert card". On the highway with lights out this doesn't happen.
I'm guessing my 12v - to - miniUSB hardwire is a simple resistor network, or something else not smart enough to drop the car's voltage, whether it is 14v or 11v, to 5v.
Is there a hard-wired or cigarette lighter plug converter that will deliver a more reliable 5 volts so I don't have that problem?
