Why Is Proper Dash Cam Installation Important?

Proper dash cam installation is important not only for stable camera operation, but also for making full use of Parking Monitoring.

If a dash cam is connected only to a standard power source, it may turn off when the vehicle is switched off. A Hardwire Kit allows the dash cam to continue operating while the vehicle is parked.

What Does a Hardwire Kit Do?

A Hardwire Kit provides power to the dash cam even when the vehicle is turned off.

This makes it possible to use features such as:

• Time-Lapse
• Collision Detection
• Sentry Mode — if supported by the specific model

This is why a Hardwire Kit is especially important for drivers who want their vehicle to be monitored not only while driving, but also while parked.

Why Is Proper Installation Important?

If the system is installed incorrectly, Parking Monitoring may not activate or may not work as intended.

• stable power for the dash cam;
• correct transition into Parking Mode;
• reliable Parking Monitoring operation;
• protection against excessive vehicle battery discharge.

Low-Voltage Protection

A Hardwire Kit includes Low-Voltage Protection, which monitors the vehicle battery voltage.

If the voltage drops below a safe level, the system cuts power to the dash cam. This helps reduce the risk of excessive battery discharge.

Different Types of Hardwire Kit

A Hardwire Kit can be connected to a vehicle in different ways, for example through the Fuse Box or an OBD port.

The main purpose is the same: to allow the dash cam to continue operating reliably while the vehicle is parked.

In Simple Terms

This is why, if you want to use Parking Monitoring properly, correct installation is just as important as choosing the right dash cam.
