I'm not obsessing, I'm trying to get all the info, if your camera turns off and the voltage is fine it's most common that the vehicle is CAN-BUS system and the ECU is turning power off when it sees a load that doesn't belong there, turning off at close to the same time period each time is typical of this, you still didn't mention which circuits you're connected to, vague information doesn't help unfortunately
It seems odd that the body control unit would cut power to stop the drain and then restore it again immediately afterwards. I'm also not sure how the load would be monitored given that the voltage doesn't sag.
That being said it's a very easy theory to test - I'll tap the battery directly and see where we are in a few hours.
I don't see how I've been vague - I've provided exact voltages and vehicle conditions. I've told you how the device is connected. I haven't piggybacked off other circuits. I've used empty fuseways that are either permanent live (for battery +) or live with engine running (for accessory).
And you said I was being vague!you may be able to find a circuit that's not affected by the ECU but this is a common issue on a lot of late model German cars, people end up using a Cellink Neo for this same reason
