I recently purchased an A118C dash cam as well as this hardwire kit. The hardwire kit comes with a red 16 gauge-ish (hot) wire and a black (ground) connector. After doing a little research, it would appear I can hardwire it in two ways.
My initial thought with option #2 was that that wouldn't allow for fuse protection, but a reviewer of the hardwire kit on the SpyTec site left the following comment:
So it sounds like I should be good with just wrapping the wire around an existing fuse. Is that correct? If so, what size fuse should I attach it to? I read through a few threads on here that said nothing higher than 2A.
Thanks in advance
1. Buy an add-a-circuit fuse holder.
2. Wrap the hot wire directly around an existing fuse.

High quality wiring kit. Comes with an inline fuse and a voltage/amperage regulator to protect both your car and camera.
