dashcam losing power after 30 minutes

[Mike_K]

I installed my nextbase 422gw and used a OBD so it has constant power to the dashcam,the problem I was having is while I am driving the battery starts losing bars then it goes off & on, so I ordered another OBD and sent the old one back this one
has a toggle switch on it the first one did not. Now this one is doing the same thing,before I go out and buy a hardwire setup is there anything I can try or maybe someone else has had the same problem, if its the camera then thats another story.
Thanks

You'll get more relevent replies if you post in the Nextbase section, where Nextbase monitor.

I've never been a fan of using the OBD2 port to power a dashcam. Personally, I would get a defect hardwire kit.

 

[Mike_K]

would any hardwire kit work or does it have to be nextbase.

I have just answered your other question, which is basically the same, except the drain period is different.

new guy question on obd's

Just got a nextbase 422gw and bought a obd for continuous power it lasted 20 minutes then went in and out,I pulled it out and used the power cord that came with it,I emailed nextbase and they ask a few questions like what kind of sd card I have I told him it's nextbase 128gb and then where is it...

I'd get the Nextbase kit.

It's very robust and reliable. I bought one almost a decade ago and it's seen service in :

Nextbase 402
Nextbase 412
Nextbase 380
Viofo A119 V2
Viofo A119 V3

... and it's still going strong.

With Nextbase dashcams though I'd be very wary trying a 3 wire HWK as all Nextbase kits are currently just 2 wire.

I ordered a nextbase hardwire kit and took your advice.
