My situation is similar to this older post but my hardwire kit has been updated. It includes an inline 2-amp cartridge fuse and a single, inbuilt two-pronged blue fuse (which I believe is 15 amp).
The wonderful Alex made a video on this type of kit but he suggested that if there isn't a spare...
Hi,
Want to connect A119 mini 2 to cigarette lighter but wondering do i need fuse for that? Want to connect Positive ( + ) and Negative ( - ) from Viofo cable to cigarette lighter wire (+) and (-) via 12v to 5v converter.
I will use this to convert from 12 to 5v.
Hey guys,
I'm not too experienced with wires and wire quality... however after some research I've figured that as the gauging number of the wire is lower, the more current it can handle. Currently, pretty much all of the fuse taps I've come across are 16 AWG wires, which on the box it says...
Hey everyone
I'm hardwiring up my 70mai A800s dashcam for the first time, and I've got a question.
Here's the thing: I read somewhere that the original fuse to be able to handle the new load from the dashcam in addition to its own pulling.
Like, let's say there's a fuse in there that's rated...
Hello everyone.
I'm new in the dash cam world and had the VIOFO A139 PRO 2CH installed and hardwired in my car by someone.
For some reason, regardless whether I turn off or on parking mode in the app, the camera is still on and recording even after turning off the car for a while. The...
1st picture is my car's fuse panel layout. Does it seem like fuse #15 is the best option with 20A? Or which fuse would you recommend instead?
2nd picture is the Blackvue B-124X external battery's specs. I'm using this battery pack to power the BlackVue DR750-2CH LTE.
Also, the fuses are...
Hi, I just got my first dash cam with some cash gifts I got for Christmas last month. I've been watching videos and reading posts online while waiting for the dashcam and hardwiring kit to show up. Now that they're all here, there are a couple things I'm unsure about/need help with....
First...
Hi. I am not yet fully versed in these things, so please bear with me!
Can I hard-wire a Blackvue B-124X Power Magic Ultra Battery Pack to an always-on fuse via a Power Magic Pro (PMP) BlackVue Vehicle Battery Discharge Prevention (BDP)? My goal is to use the B-124X battery pack to support...
Hello,
I drive a Chevrolet Impala 2011 and am hardwiring a Thinkware F70, I just go the wiring where I need it to be and when I was checking the fuses, both when the car was off and 30 minutes after, there was only one available switch fuse for me to use, all of the others were hot. The issue...
Hi Guys,
I trawled the posts for anything that might help my issue, but wasn't able to find a fix :(.
I'm not sure exactly what's happening, but it's as follows.
I have a U1000 dual channel kit, which is hardwired into the car. There is also a radar attachment. My HW kit states that Red -...
Hi,
I am new here and this my first post!
I shall be receiving my Viofo A119 dashcam soon (hopefully) :)
Today I received the hardwiring kit for the camera and I am a bit confused how to install it. I am not that technical and would not like to mess in the fusebox so a different idea crossed...
I am trying to hard wire the Cellink Neo (rated 9A, using 20A fuse) and had a couple questions. I am not an expert in electrical engineering so correct me if any of the stuff I stated below is wrong.
I have tested all my fuse slots and I do not have any empty ones that are ACC, thus I have to...
I have a 2010 Volvo XC60, Blackvue DR470-2ch dashcam, and a MotoPark Multi Safer S hardwiring kit.
The problem: my dashcam won't "turn off", i.e. will continue to record video files, even when my car is off, locked, and there is no motion to trigger parking mode.
Multi Safer setup: I have the...
Has anybody wired the dash cam to a deep cycle battery (e.g. LiFePO4)? Is there any reason it shouldn't work as well as the cellink-b but with higher capacity and lower price?
There would be the issue of recharging it, but apart from that it may be cheaper/better option
If anybody wants to pitch...
Hi Guys!
I'm new here, and I'm also a newbie dashcamer. A month ago I bought an F770 with 2nd camera and hardwiring. Because I don't have my own garage, outside is below 0°C and I also haven't enough experience with electronic installations in cars, I let a local company install it. It took...
Does the Cellink Battery B 2nd Gen offer BOTH "BATT" (always on) and ACC (ignition-switched) outputs to support parking mode? Or does it only offer one always on output and require that the dash cam be connected to both the Cellink and the vehicle ACC? I've been trying to find a manual or wiring...
Hi,
I'm looking for a new dash cam with the following features:
Parking mode
G-Sensor
1440p resolution @ 30 or 60 fps
Adhesive mount
Ability to use a hardwiring kit for parking mode and continuous recording; I do not want to plug it into the cig. lighter
Very good video quality during the day...
I've been searching for a while and settled for the A118. Seems to get decent reviews and I like the discreteness.
Question: I don't want to tie up the cigarette lighter nor have visible cords to a USB adapter. I have minimal electrical skills, but I think I can manage hard-wiring to a current...
Trying to obtain a couple of "add a fuse" to the fuse box in my merc A Class 220 sport (W176). I cannot find what size the physical size of fuse there is in the fuse box as I want to order the "fuse Tap" ( as they say in the US). has anyone experience of this? the 2 cams are installed and...
I have seen more than one posting in DCT (can't find them just now) where they stated, or at least implied, that a certain hard-wiring kit would work with certain dash cam models and actually listed some dash cam models that the particular kit in question was compatible with.
I have also seen...
