Which fuse to tap for a dashcam

**sapstar** · 21-08-2021,08:37 AM

Can someone please help me with a fuse ideal to connect the dash cam to? Preferably on the passenger side. I am looking for something which is off when the ignition if turned off.

I have taken couple of photos of the fuses and the fuse diagram on my passenger side. Can you please help me locate a fuse I can tap?
I checked with a multi meter and the Fuse number 10 in the black fuses seems to turn on/off with ignition. It is marked as communication in the fuse diagram. Can I use this for the dashcam?

Having ignition off provides no footage in the highest risk area..

True, but don't want to risk battery going too low. I bought a nextbase hard wire kit which covers with some sort of battery protection, but I am not sure how good that is.

Normally rubbish with a too low 11.6V cut off .

Basically you chose the wrong camera !

I did let it solidly record for 3 days without issue .

Do you record from an Android phone? Or the camera you use runs on Android?

I had a viofo a119s, but just ordered a Nextbase 512gw. Not sure there is any control in the camera.

App link via camera's WiFi .

Go into a supermarket and camera records in the car park , it's not to be missed this high risk environment .

Can someone please help with this. I tried taking 5a, 10a and 15a fuses on the black row and all of them are still supplying power to the camera after ignition is off.

I did check with a multi meter before installing and the original fuses was showing 0v before the ignition is turned off.
