Hard wired

[RobertParadis]

We know that the A119 needs 5v 1A.

Does the output amperage from the 12v-5v converter matter? Is 3A output as good as 1.5A for a capacitor dashcam?

Also, do you prefer permanent wire into the converter or one with one (or two) USB plug?

The output matters only in that it be enough. Having more output does no harm as any cam will use only the power it needs and no more. 1.5A is generally the lowest recommended output for one cam so your 3A should serve you well.

How you wire is a personal preference. If it is intended to be a permanent discreet installation, then hidden hardwiring is the way to go. My current 4-cam set-up is a mix of many ways since I plan for more changes, but in the end all will be hardwired with hidden wiring runs.

An admittedly odd question here, but were you at Lake Tahoe in 1991?

No, not me. I've been in Lake Tahoe in 1990 in august or september, I don't remember exactly but only for 1 day or 2.
