Hey everyone,

I don't have a voltage voltage tester so I used my mutlimeter for checking the fuses and empty fuse slots to understand which ones I should use for hardwiring my YI dashcam. I measured 0.8 volt before I started the car in some of them, actually I did not measure 0 volt in any of them. After starting the car, the voltage rised up to 12.5-12.8 volts in those fuses. Is that normal? Can ı consider those 0.8 readings as 0 and use them? I will not use park recording so I only want the cam to work after I start the car. It's a 2020 diesel skoda scala.

Thanks
 
Yes, this is quite common, assume anything under 1 volt is off.
