Running 2 A119 V3 from same HK3 ACC hardwire kit?

[Jon MN]

I bought two A119 V3's, one for front, one for rear. Primarily because I thought the video quality looked better then the A129. (And of course after doing that, I see Viofo is coming out with an improved A129.. D'oh).

I want parking mode for both cameras.

What's the best wiring option? Can I splice in the second camera to run off one HK3? Or should I but a second HK3 kit and power each camera separately? Can the HK3 handle the increased load of 2 cams? Will 2 cams impact the ACC switching to turn on parking mode? Cost of a second HK3 is not a problem, so whichever method is the best.

Thank you.

If you splice into the USB cable, do it at the HK3 end, otherwise you will get too much voltage drop down the cable.

Since you want the parking mode signal as well as power then 2 HK3 connected to a shared fuse tap would be the easiest, only disadvantage I can think of is the extra cost. Doubt the efficiency is much different.
