    Is my cigarette lighter socket permanently live or not?

    i have a hyundai i40 with keyless ignition and some of the fused circuits become active when the key is near the car or doors open etc like the interior lights. they are timer controlled and stay on for about 5 mins after the key s not present and doors closed. this got me initially trying to...

    Viofo Parking Mode new beta feature

    Yes definitely agree more files are better than missing action and it would be nice to be able to set the sensitivity of the motion detection to suit requirements, but if it was user adjustable then you could set it too low and render it useless so maybe it better off just set high.

    Power plus timer mode

    thanks both i left it for longer this afternoon on the 2 hour setting and arrived to the timer triggered display. recording started at 12:51 and the last recording i have is at 15:29, so 158 + mins = +32% that would mean my 6 hour setting needing 474mins/ 7 hours 54mins. my recordings from...

    Power plus timer mode

    I set the unit to 2 hours timer this morning and have just checked on it after 130 mins. It's still powering the cam. So I set it to bypass, normal mode and back to activate. I will check on it again in 2 hours.

    Viofo Parking Mode new beta feature

    I used the parking mode feature today for the first time. I am impressed by how quick the camera comes out of standby to start recording from motion detection (people walking in front of the car are 1/4 of the way into the frame when recording starts). I noticed that the first video file is...

    Power plus timer mode

    yep thats definitely correct as i had the camera wired up to the acc before hand. the vico pp goes into acc mode and batt mode correctly when i start / stop the car. ive set the vico pp to 2h timer to try it again tomorrow. i thought that maybe the low voltage had kicked in and then back out...

    Power plus timer mode

    Ive just installed a vico power plus and used it for the first time today whilst parked up at work. I set the cutoff to 12.4v and timer to 6h. I checked on it a few times during the day and it was happily powering the camera. But i returned to my car 8 hours after leaving and it was still...

    Uninterruptible power supply using 5V power bank

    i'd never thought of using a relay until seeing the op's post after searching for power options for parking mode. when i next get chance im going to wire up the following: vico power plus > mp1584 (12v to 5v) > relay > cam + pb > relay > cam. That way i can either use the cars battery with...

    Uninterruptible power supply using 5V power bank

    Yes sorry i didnt make that clear but that is what i presumed from the OP. Main power is when the engine is running.

    Uninterruptible power supply using 5V power bank

    can you explain why pb is continually charging please? when main is off the relay is powered off and NO is open and pb has no power? (is my understanding). PB discharge is then connected to power out by NC.

    Uninterruptible power supply using 5V power bank

    Does anyone know if the above is feasible?

    Uninterruptible power supply using 5V power bank

    I've only just got round to drawing this out to try to understand it. I may be completely wrong but could you not do this with the single relay?

    Uninterruptible power supply using 5V power bank

    Can you not just connect the pb charge to the main power pos and neg directly and not wire it into the relay? That's what the op is doing in the diagram above? Is there any reason you can't do that? (The way the relay works possibly?) Edit: autocorrect

    Uninterruptible power supply using 5V power bank

    Youve lost me there Phil. I was referring to the OP's post and wondered why a 2 channel relay was used. I looked at the diagram for ages and thought a single relay could be used instead of the double. But i may well be missing something as im not into electronics.

    Uninterruptible power supply using 5V power bank

    i really like this idea (im toying with the idea of a power bank for parking mode) but why are you using a 2 channel relay and not a single? power out on com1 main power on no1 pb discharge on nc1
