Hi forum, first post here..
I got a dashcam for my Mazda3 2019 and then realized that the accessory socket port is always on, so even if I turn off the ignition, it will still power the dashcam. That is of course unacceptable.
I have been asking around for a potential solution for my Blackvue DR750S. Here are some:
An ideal solution will be to hardwire it of course so I don't have to worry about it but I am hesitant doing it because I haven't done it before.
Thank you very much for your help.

I have been asking around for a potential solution for my Blackvue DR750S. Here are some:
- Manually plug and unplug the power cable from the port. Easiest to do but prone to error (may forget) and also repeated removals may damage the port?
- Hardwire the dashcam. However I don't know much about it and I am hesitant to do it because it's a new car.
- Get an extension cable that stays plugged in all the time and then attached the dashcam power cable to it. This prevents the port from being damaged but is still prone to me forgetting about it.
- Get a different dashcam that has a power-off button and then simply turn it off?
An ideal solution will be to hardwire it of course so I don't have to worry about it but I am hesitant doing it because I haven't done it before.
Thank you very much for your help.
