Hi! I'm new to the carcam world, but I've have years of IT experience.

My question is: can this camera be remotely turned on by turning on the 5VDC power?

Thanks,
Marco
 
not clear on what you have in mind but it does turn on when it receives power via USB

That’s exactly what I’m looking for!! I want to be able to start and stop recording as needed via a switch in the dash.

Thanks!
 
Thanks for the info. How much power in milliwatts or current in milliamps does the mini draw when recording at its maximum resolution and frame speed. I'm thinking of installing a DC-DC converter (12VDC to 5VDC) that'll be the power source. Most are limited to 400mw.

Thanks

For most dashcams, including the 0801, 1A minimum, 2A recommended.
Look up "dashcam hardwire kit".

When charging the battery it could easily take 700mA @5v.
