power

Hello I recently bought my first dashcam and there are problems from day one... I connect everything as manual says and camera does not power. I use all accessory from original box (cigarette socket, long USB A - USB C cable and camera). Example situations: 1. When my car is running: a)...

My brand new T130 does sometimes not power on if i start the car. Wired with normal cigarette lighter cable. if i turn ignition on, camera stays dead but it starts to whine - no LED - no Starting Sound, nothing, just kind of Coil whine noises - clearly audible ! - no reaction if i push...

Hi, I am looking for a new dashcam with a particular focus on the parking mode. I intend to hardwire the cam. However, I frequently park the car for a week without driving. Accordingly, I am looking for a camera that won't uneccessarily drain my battery and enable long operation times. When...

Hi everyone, I'm new in the Dashcam game and i would like to know if it's possible to power a Nextbase 522GW with a rear window cam... I currently have a "Varta Car Charger Dual USB" and it has a USB type C that I'm using to charge my phone and a USB type A (2.4 Amps) that I would like to...

I am facing a Power Off issue with the T130 Dashcam. I have the latest firmware installed, published on 27 Dec 2021. Please follow the steps below to see this issue. Steps: 1. Power On the car so that the Cigarette Lighter port gets the power. 2. Now connect the Dashcam power adapter in the...

Hi guys, I’ve got an issue with my F800 pro which I bought in 2018. I’ve had it hardwired from day 1 and recently was having issues with it powering on, it would randomly decide when to power on and for the past few weeks it has not powered on at all. It removed the hardwire kit today and...

Hello, *sorry for my English* Today I buy 322GW model and I follow instructions to fully charg on USB cable, so I did it like 3h and blue light is gone so fully charged, and I went to car, and before I do anything I gate alert on screen *battery low connect in the car adapter* like what's...

I'd like to ask a question - I need to instal longer cable (USB - Mini USB-B) in a car as power supply for dashcam. But when I do this, camera will start to blink and keeps shutting down, memory errors and such troubles (not usable). Several cables (also widths of them) tried. It seems to me...

Hello, How long is the cable provided in the box with the A119 V3 ? Is it 1 meter ? 5 meters ? I can't seem to find the information on internet. Cheers.

Hi People, At the moment I have a 'Xiaomi 10000mAh Mi Power Bank Pro' to supply my 'Blueskysea B1W' dash cam when parked, charging time and lifetime of battery are fine, but I have 1 big problem. The problem is when the battery goes empty and the dash cam switches off, and then when I start...

My parking mode has power but isn't recording. A few notes below: - I can access the cameras via Live-View while the car has been parked overnight - there are heat-circles on the windows (frost) indicating that YES the cameras are receiving power. This used to work prior. But simply stopped...

I just recently installed my cobra 2216d dual dash cam in my 2014 chevy cruz. I ran power off my interior fuse box. My constant power is coming from an unused fuse and my accessory power is coming from the cigarette lighter fuse. The power is running to my power magic pro unit and then to the...

I just installed my A129 and noticed that it shuts down almost immediately after power is removed. No shutdown sound either. I don't have the rear cam hooked up yet. My A119 would stay up for 2 seconds or so and do a proper shutdown. Is there a way of telling if this was a proper shutdown...

Trying to understand how these Garmin 55 dash cams work. If one does not connect the camera to the fuse box, but to the cigarette lighter instead, when the car is off, no power to the camera, right? To be honest, I might not connect to the fuse box, since my car is still under warranty, and I...

Hi, I brought a used car and the previous owner left the blackvue holders (front and rear) as well as the power leads wired in. I don't plan on buying a blackvue cam although I realise that would be the easier thing to do. I wondered though if there are any other dashcams which use the same...

Hi, Is there anyway to plug this into something other than the cigarette lighter? I use that for a fm transmitter / phone mount. p.s. Anyone in Toronto looking to buy this? PM me.

Hey guys, new here, just signed up today. I've had this dash-cam since May, 2017 and since I've had it it has always INSTANTLY powered off (with the Power Off screen) as soon as it is disconnected from a power source, whether that's the mounting itself, or the cigarette-lighter. My Dad has the...

Thinking of chopping off the cigarette lighter end and converting it to usb I know I can just buy a long cable but I'd in DIY mode right now, so has any of you done this would you consider it “safe”?

Recently I bought a new car and decided to move the 12v to 3a 2x usb power and my dashcam an a118c to the new car. With the old car, I simply took the power from the mirror. With the new one, I tried to do exactly the same thing. That said, after hooking everything up it seems that in the new...

I have two A118 (non-capacitor) cameras in my car - one will power up with a turn of the ignition key but the other won't. I've been powering them for the past year with a dual power port (cigarette lighter style) and wires dangling around in the cabin. I wanted to clean it up so I ordered two...
