- Viofo A129 Duo, mini 0806 (RIP)
Thanks to inspiration from erkme73, I've decided to try building my own programmable timer for my mini 0806—which will eventually become a dual (front and rear) setup when time and money permit. As many of you know, the secret to any good project is a good plan. So, with the help of erkme73, Nigel, jokiin and others on this forum, here's what I intend to do.
Inspiration for this project came from erkme73's post, which you'll find here: https://dashcamtalk.com/forum/threads/diy-programmable-delay-shutdown-circuit.12845/
BTW, the broken arrows in the red and black wires indicate where I intend to install quick disconnects. This is so I can easily remove the entire timer should it ever fail or need servicing. Once the timer is removed, I'll be able to simply connect the remaining 12V+ ACC wires and the cameras will continue to function normally through the ignition switch and without the timer.
