Frequently Asked Questions

Is it better to hardwire a dash cam?

Hardwiring a dash cam offers several advantages over using the traditional 12V power outlet. It ensures a constant and uninterrupted power supply, eliminating the need for batteries or recharging. Additionally, hardwiring provides a clean and discreet installation, reducing the risk of theft and improving aesthetics. It also enables advanced features such as parking mode and motion detection for enhanced security. Remember that proper installation is crucial to avoid any interference with the vehicle's electrical system. If unsure, consulting a professional is recommended.

Is hardwiring a dash cam bad for battery?

Hardwiring a dash cam to your vehicle's electrical system is generally not harmful to the battery. Dash cams consume minimal power and are designed with voltage cutoff features to prevent excessive battery drainage. Proper installation, wiring to an ignition-controlled power source, and using parking mode or low-power standby mode can further minimize any impact on the battery. 

How do you hardwire a dash cam to a car?

Here are the steps for hardwiring a dash cam to a car:

1. Find a suitable location for the dash cam that doesn't obstruct visibility.
2. Locate a power source, such as the fuse box or a powered mirror.
3. Prepare the necessary tools and materials, including a dash cam hardwiring kit.
4. Connect the power cable to the dash cam and route it along the interior, hiding it behind panels.
5. Access the fuse box and choose a non-critical fuse to tap into.
6. Install the fuse tap and connect the power cable to it.
7. Test the connection using a multimeter.
8. Secure and tidy the wiring with adhesive clips or ties.
9. Reassemble any removed panels and test the dash cam's operation.
10. If unsure, seek professional assistance.

Does hardwiring a dash cam void insurance?

In general, hardwiring a dash cam to your vehicle does not void insurance. Dash cams are typically seen as a passive safety feature that can provide valuable evidence in case of accidents or incidents. While it's a good idea to review your specific insurance policy and consult with your provider, most insurers recognize the benefits of dash cams and may even offer discounts for having one installed. Just ensure proper installation and inform your insurance provider to address any concerns or questions regarding coverage.
