I recently purchased a new 2020 F-150 (xlt), and the VIOFO A129 Pro Duo 4K Dual Dash Cam. I am thinking the best/simplest way for me to install this would be through the (passenger) fuse box. I had a few questions about this though. It seems the Power Point is tied to a 20A fuse. The power point has a regular outlet, and a cigarette outlet. I've been using the cigarette outlet. I unplug it every time I leave my truck though, afraid it will drain my battery (but I believe it gets powered off after so long when the truck is not running). My first question is, if I tie my dashcam directly into one of the fuses (looking at a 10A spare, as long as it is always powered on), and the dashcam only takes in 1A, what prevents 10A from frying it? Would having the camera tied in as such, drain my battery, be harmful to it, and/or kill it? Lastly, is this the best way to hook it up? I've seen the hk3acc hardwire kit, and I've also been told that I could tie it into my accessories harness.
