I recently purchased a dual-channel dash cam for my car. This is a picture of the rear dashcam, with accompanying cables.
The black cable to the left plugs into the front camera, and is of sufficient length to reach the back of the car. However the red/black cable is only about 2 feet long and is attached to the rear camera, so there's no chance in hell it can reach the fusebox in the front of the car. Does it matter what kind/gauge of wire I crimp onto this red/black wire so it can reach? Also these red/black wires are connected at the moment, but I shouldn't plug them both directly into my piggyback fuse right? The black should be separated and grounded?
