Hello,
I have a question or two about hardwiring and parking mode
Let's say that someone had an Viofo A119 V3 to be used for their front camera, and an 70mai Car DVR 1S to be used as a rear camera.
From what I understand, you'd need two "add a fuse" things, one for ACC and the other for Power, and then plug them into an appropriate fuse in the fuse box, and of course crimp the end of the hardwire kit into the end of those "add a fuse" items
For a single camera being hardwired, that makes sense. What about if you wanted to hardwire both of the cameras? Should you use the two "add a fuse" items with two ACC and two Power wires from both hardwire kits, or would it be better to simply have four "add a fuse" items and four fuses used (two per camera)?
Is there a better way to handle hardwiring of two separate cameras?
What about the ciggarete lighter style ports that you can plug an adapter into that has USB ports? If such an adpater had two USB ports on it, then could that be used to power both the cameras instead of a hardwire?
When it comes to parking mode, I'm not overly interested in that functionality, so would I be correct to say if I turn that off in the cameras, then they would shut off when no power was detected, ie; there should be no battery drain because parking mode is not being used.
Thanks in advance for any advice or suggestions
