I'm planning to hardwire my dashcam, using add-a-circuit. My original thought was to use my accessory power fuse, which only is powered when the car is turned on. This way the dash camera will turn on automatically when I turned on the car.
However, I'm wondering if there is a way to have the "best of both worlds" so to speak, and wire the dashcam in a way where it will power up automatically when the car does, but also have an inline switch (or something) that gives me the option to turn it on when the car is not powered off (by tapping into another fuse?).
Has anyone done something like this before? Is it even possible without using two separate cables?
Too bad they don't make bluetooth-controlled inline switches, as I could automate it to power up when my phone connects the bluetooth, while still having the option to manually override it (plus turn it on remotely!)
