Constant Power Cable OP100

[DavidUK]

There is no cable choices apart from choosing type-c or mini USB.
If you use A119 V3 or A129 series, you need OBD with mini usb cable. Otherwise, you need OBD with type-c cable. It is determined by the types of power port on your camera.


Yes, the OBD cable will enable the parking mode after your car ignition if turned off, and will also cut off power when the voltage from your OBD port reaches 12V to protect your car battery.

You say the OBD cable will enable the parking mode after the car ignition is turned off, and will also cut off power when the voltage from the OBD port reaches 12V to protect the car battery.
How is the camera's internal parking mode timer integrated with the timer on the OBD plug which gives 3hr/24hr/continuous operation?
I can't quite work out why you need the OBD plug timer when the camera's own settings allow the parking mode time to be set?
Or doesn't the camera's internal timer shut off ALL power to the camera whereas the OBD plug timer does shut off all power?

If the parking timer duration set in the dash cam's menu elapses first, the dash cam will turn off.
If the battery voltage reaches the threshold set on the OBD unit, the OBD unit will cut off power to the dash cam.
Whichever happens first is what will take effect.

I just saw this on OP100 listing;
Note: This cable is designed for traditional gasoline and diesel vehicles only.
It is not compatible with hybrid or electric vehicles (EVs).

Do you have an EV, or Hybrid vehicle?

Or... number three... if the OBD plug timer cuts power to the dash cam...

It's a normal petrol car.

Well, one of the timers can be turned off.
