Hi all, not sure how well this might work?
Doing this with the aim of giving the cameras some "parking cam" standby time.

The power bank holds 6x 18650 batteries which should be miles better than the internal battery.
My thoughts on the 3 options so far;
My other wonder is that when the power bank dies... and then is given power again when the vehicle is started, will the battery bank auto start and begin charging its batteries AND give power output to the cameras immediately.

- Power pack output: DC 5V / 2A (USB 1), DC 5V / 1A (USB 2), DC 3.7V / 4A (OUT M), DC 5V / 2A (OUT M), DC 9V / 1.5A (OUT M), DC 12V / 1A (OUT M)
- USB car Charger-> Power Bank USB or 5v->USB to existing dash cam
- USB car Charger -> Power Bank 12v -> to dash cam power adaptor -> cam
- USB car Charger -> Power Bank DC 5v output -> direct to dash cam (remove dashcam battery).

My thoughts on the 3 options so far;
- may set off 'PC Camera' mode depending on cable used, may need mods. - thought less efficiency loss by losing the cameras factory 12v->5v adaptor.
- extra power usage by going car 24v -> USB charger -> Battery bank -> 12v -> 5v -> Camera
- likely to cause corrupted clip(s) when battery bank dies.
