Hi folks. Just got my M6 Plus camera last week and thought all went well with the installation until I noticed the camera switches to battery power when I start the engine.
I installed the camera using an add-a-fuse and also a low voltage cut off device which will enable to operate when the car is turned off.
I thought that perhaps I picked the wrong fuse location to attach to but when I checked the voltage it is 14.8 volts when the engine is on or off so there's no change in power.
I also thought that, upon ignition start the usual voltage drop may be the cause but even if I have the camera completely unplugged and then plug it in when the engine is already started there is nothing. It's an extremely annoying problem as all I can do is record perfectly fine with the ignition off but nothing with the engine on.
I am using a 5 amp fuse so maybe a lower capacity one might be the answer? Appreciate any suggestions. Thank you!
