"How to" with power?

[olddroid]

I just installed a DR900S-2CH connected to the car battery 24/7. My previous dashcam was programmed to turn off when battery power was at "X" volt. Now my car had flat battery 2 times.
Is there possibilty to turn it off or anything to not empty the battery?

 

[DashOto]

Are you using a Power Magic Pro to connect your DR900S to your fuse box? or how did you hardwire?

You would control the voltage cut-off using the dip switches on the PMP. (You can also use the switches to set a timer)

No, I have no Power Magic. Direct to the battery...

 

[DashOto]

Yeah... there's no built-in voltage control on BlackVue units.
Look into getting a PMP, they're fairly inexpensive.

What is PMP...?

 

[WeedeaterDM]

PMP = Power Magic Pro. Like DashOto says, it has dip switches to select your voltage cut-off and timers. If you don't need parking mode, you could hardwire it to an ACC fuse so it only runs when the car is running.

Here's some info on the Power Magic Pro

You could also find a 12 volt electrical off timer, put it in line and have the battery disconnect when a certain time passes.

Jeez. £130 for something that will only keep your dashcam running for 8-9 hours?
That's not even overnight.

But it will cut the power before the battery is flat....

Just go for the Power Magic Ultra B-124

But it will cut the power before the battery is flat....

So will the PMP for about £20

Just go for the Power Magic Ultra B-124

Even better. Only £300.

Whatever...
