Can't believe you sell a hardwire kit at $35 Canadian and don't throw in the fuse adapters. It's essentially an overpriced box of wires.

@ShadowbannedbyYoutube Год назад

Sir your comment stands the test of time……

@walterk1221 Год назад

No, it is a smart power supply that commands the cam to enter and exit "park mode recording". $35CDN is very inexpensive, actually. [EDIT: there are numerous fuse form factors, since you dislike paying $35CDN for the hardwire kit you surely will dislike paying for the unused add-a-circuit components]

@hewster1 Год назад

You realize this would increase the cost as they would need to include multiple adapters to work on every car.

@agriperma 4 года назад

It always helps to look at the fuse layout diagram, so you know you are not tapping a critical fuse. another way to make sure you have proper orientation of your tap. first place it in, with only the tap fuse placed ( the one that will be powering your camera ) plug in tap if you have power on your tap wire, then it's placed correctly, if not, reverse the position of the tap. in any case once you know the correct position, put the original car fuse in the tap slot for it. doing it this way might be easier then trying to poke a probe into a tiny slot in a hard to reach area, less chance of shorting something out as well.

Good info on this wiring. Some others don't show connecting to battery & using the connections you mentioned. Think I will need someone to install for me. Only thing I did not see was the wiring coming back into the cab or how you got the wire to the battery. Since someone else will install for me, don't need to know. Maybe I missed a step.

@applejacks971 4 года назад

Pro Tip: Make sure you check for 'constant power' fuses after your 10 minute battery shut down mode has past, otherwise, after 10 minutes, your cam is gonna shut off as well. I haven't seen ONE video yet to address that

@thinkwaredashcam 4 года назад

@tc96z1 4 года назад

Muzzy337 The only car that matters is yours. All you need is a low voltage test light. You can search for a always on fuse to connect into after the vehicle has been standing

@blaze858j 3 года назад

what do you mean by this? i would have to wait 10 minute before looking for a constant power? so meaning close all doors?

@benjara1 3 года назад

@@blaze858j It means that some fuses stay on for 10 minutes then shut off after 10 minutes after you turn off your car. You don't want to use these kind of fuses because if you connect your dash cam to these fuses your dash cam will turn off after 10 minutes after you turn off your car. You want to connect to constant power fuses.To find which are constant and which are not look at this video : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nINz6mKvOf0.html

If you made sure that you chose the correct acc fuse slot and put the fuse tap in correctly/positive side plugged into fuse slot furthest from side with the wire, then why would choosing another acc slot be necessary and why would it be receiving power while the car is off ?

Hi! I'm interested in getting my dash cam hardwired. However, there aren't that many 10 amp fuses. I was wondering if I could use a 7.5, 15, or 20 amp fuses? Also, I noticed that some of the fuses in the fuse box are placed upside down. Is it ok to use them? Any info on this would be much appreciated. Thanks!

@skaizun Год назад

Fuses are, basically, just strips of metal. As such, they are not polarized (i.e., they do not have to be plugged-in in one or the same way), so their orientation (i.e., whether the amperage number is "right-side up" or "upside down") is not important, and will work either way. The same may not be true of whatever device you hook up to it, such as, apparently, this dash cam unit (i.e., just like some household/office devices that may have a polarized plug requiring them to be installed in one and only one way). I cannot answer your question about the dash cam's fuse rating, as that is specific to that device, though the video stated that it can be lower (n.b., I would hope that the dash cam's instructions indicate the proper fuse rating).

@BigBrotherIsTooBig Год назад

Hi I have questions I m going to buy thinkware f800 pro. I bought a new Jeep Wrangler unlimited JL . It has a cigarette lighter socket which has power even when Jeep engine is off. Can I use it for my back camera or dash cam? Does hard wiring kit work same way or it is different than cigarette socket? Will it drain battery if I use the cigarette socket ?

@thinkwaredashcam 5 лет назад

Hello Gary, The Car Charger Cable will not provide you with parking mode even if it on when the vehicle is off. The Hardwiring Cable has an ACC Wire which puts the Dash Cam into Parking Mode. WIth our Battery Protection Settings such as the Voltage Cut Off, Wintertime Protection and Record Timer the vehicles battery will not be drained.

Hello, I want to but a separate dash cam that is independent from the front cam. If I use a USB splitter and attach it to the hardwire kit will it provide enough power for both dash cams?

@agriperma 4 года назад

parking mode does consume power when the engine is off, hardwire kits, usually have a cut off circuit to prevent these cameras from draining to much juice from your cars battery. having 2 separate cameras would drain twice as much power, you definitely want to use the battery protector, you your car might not start the next morning.

This might be helpful to someone. I have three 12v "cigar" outlets. Two are constant, one is switched (only on when car is on or key is at accessory position). I wired the constant to the constant outlet and the accessory to the switched outlet. Grounding is the same.

@charlesterwilliams1736 2 года назад

I I followed your lead and successfully hardwired the equipment. Everything works perfect. I also followed your lead and made sure Motion Detection is enabled. But a lot of other dash cams will give you an audio alert when you turn off the car and let you know parking mode is activated. But the AZDOME 550 does not give you such an audio alert and so I ask, how do you know that your parking mode is indeed working or properly enabled via the hardwire installation if your camera does not give an audio whenever parking mode is enabled?
