Noise when I record over USB Charger

[Lars]

Hey Guys

I have my Mobius Cam and I am so happy, the only Problem I have is a noise that is arround when I have the USB Charger plugged up and let the Cam run. It sounds like the car is still running. I tested it outside and it is not the camera, that is for sure. Does anybody has an idea what to do ?

Tried another charger?

 

[Lars]

Yes, I have one from belkin, I just do not get what that noise can be....kinda wired in my eyes to be honest

Try the charger in another vehicle also, cars are not always the cleanest power sources

I am thinking about get me the cam constently over my car going, I saw people using the Fuse Box and convert something with the camera...any idea what they did to hve it always in the car?

 

[jokiin]

There's a bunch of ways of doing it, wire in a female socket and use the existing converter, use a dedicated 12v USB converter, what suits is up to you

Hey

Yes, that sounds like the right way, cause I know now that there is no way I get enough power to the camera...I have to wire that up somehow....cig lighter does not work at all...creepy

If it's a 5V USB power input (I don't know the Mobius), try one of these. My 0801 gave problems with the supplied cheapo cigar lighter converter, and I know someone else reporting noises with it; hardwired through this adaptor, works perfectly. Just needs a bit of soldering to get the right plug on the end, an ignition-switched 12V supply, and you're laughing.
