In this video I will show you how to install a hardwire kit for your car dashcam. With this installed, you will be able to power the dashcam in parking mode monitoring while the ignition is off. The power is drawn from the car battery and the protection circuit will monitor the battery voltage. Once it drops to the cutoff voltage, the output will be turned off to prevent battery drain.

PLEASE NOTE: You need to make sure your car dashcam does support parking mode function for this to work.

I sifted through about 10 vids on this topic. I suffered time wasting insults, like lengthy childish intros, having the basic function of a multi-meter explained and some erroneous information. Your video is concise and helpful and explains the features the manual that comes with these products seems to omit. Watched it twice. Thanks.

[orozcofamily]

Yeah. I’m gonna agree with most of the other comments about how this video is very well edited, planned, and put together. This is a good example of what YouTube content should always look like for instructional videos. Great job! Now I feel much more confident installing this and I really appreciated the point about testing the polarity to know which side is the hot side before adding the fuse tabs.

[frankie]

5:57 This was why I almost gave up and paid someone to do this for me. I had all the wiring done, but for some reason it wouldn't work. It was because I plugged in my fuse tap the wrong way. Thanks guy!

7:25 To anyone installing your dashcam for the first time, just make sure you run your cable behind and not in front of any airbags in your car's A pillar.

[chrisbarham]

Man, let me tell you what. Hands down the best walk-through on hardwiring a dashcam. Great content.

[BCO]

This is by far one of the best videos I've seen for hardwire for a dashcam. This video explains in detail when it comes to the direct power of the fuse. Great video

[gibsonogholuwa]

This would be my very first comment on youtube after thousands of hours. I must say you forced me to comment because your teaching on this is absolutely brilliant. To also say a very BIG thank you to you, I have subscribed to your channel. Simple, straight to the point and result oriented. Thank you.

[eponymousIme]

Very clear video: you told us exactly what we needed to know, distinctly, and without skipping over steps or assuming we knew certain things. I have bookmarked this and will be returning to it once I get a dashcam.

[joshuarozario]

I would have to agree with 100’s of comments here. By far one of the best and simplest videos that explains the process.

[JR-krlv]

That's the best video I ever seen on here to due stuff, I'm a backyard MECHANIC a DIY to save money, I learned from a very young age due to my father working for GM or General Motors just in case no 1 knows what it means, i took 3 years of AUTOMOTIVE CLASS at my HIGHSCHOOL and we had a Voc Tech school next door that most attended for 1 thing or another. You my friend explained tjis wiring system perfect and the best way, even I might of made the mistake of putting the wire into the fuse panel BACKWARDS, now after WATCHING this, I'll make sure that don't hapoen at all. I wished all dash camera companies offered these setups to buy seperate, I've been looking for awhile but dash cams are a 50/50 on a good one, the one I'm looking at now threw CNET in march of 2018 has it listed at i tjink 3.9 out of 5 stars and 1153 review's, thats great, I have and older vehicle and as of 6/1/2018 my STATE will be HANDS FREE DEVICES FROM CELL PHONE'S to GPS, They are sending out the entire FORCE threwout the STATE TO GIVE TICKETS OUT, THEY EVEN STATED THAT THEY WILL BE IN UNMARKED VEHICLE'S ALSO TO SEND THE MESSAGE THAT IT'S AGAINST THE LAW NOW. THATS RHODE ISLAND NOW. SO PASS THE WORD ON AND NO BREAKS ON TICKETS AT ALL, THEY MADE THAT CLEAR. SO Having a DASH CAM that I'm tired of calling the POLICE BY CELL PHONE due to reckless drivers thats driving real bad and almost hit me, I call and its the same story, I'll get someone out there when mo one is in the middle of doing there JOB, I once stated so why are there 2 POLICE cars just sitting in the parking lot now where we just drove by and car slowed down, they said there all tied up on calls, i state thats bs because there sitting and drinking coffee because you csn see threw windshields of car, I blow the horn and point but nothing, POLICE dispatch don't send out mgs fast in my city, once we had 4 cars blicking our road and couldn't leave, my wife got out to find out whats up and 1 car was brojen, so we asked if the other cars can move, 1 guy grabbed my wife by her throat and there was 4 big guys with gang tattoos that looked SCARY, well i gunned my SUV at HIM as my wife was looking into my eye's, the guy let go and i tryed to hit him and dialed 911, well 25 minutes later, they showed up and all gone, even the broke down car from tow truck. Just us and neighbor's bitching that we caused the problems with there GUEST, they didn't want to hear it, a dash cam would if showed all player's involved WITH license plates and their faces also, yeah it wouldn't be us causing problems but them causing the problems and what we stated was true and wasn't a lie and good thing they didn't have a knife or a gun or maybe they did and got out, I was not happy and nervous for my FAMILY after that. Been looking for dash cams even HARDER since, most don't work very well, sent a few back because they don't show much and hard to make out, unlike a home surveillance camera you can freeze frame each shot and blow it up to get the face or a license plate. I thought of buying a gopro since there a top CAMERA but over kill for ny needs, I would of but i found out the BATTERY only last up to 40 minutes to 1 hour or so, that's no good for dash cam at $400 or rvevenen the $299 one. So Again I thank you for this and I'm gonna look at the camera you have that you hooked up, if I like it then I'll go with it but I'm leaning on the other 1, they even show the negative on it, you must shut off when parked or put in parking mode and the screen will stay on unless you setup the screen saver for 30 seconds or longer, if not yhen continues with screen on, the camera still records if it gets bumped & records until you stop it. Again best VIDEO I seen yet with the best step by step how to install and very clear on it. Its wasn't rushed or nothing like that. GREAT JOB TO WHO EVER DID THE VIDEO UNLESS YOU DID IT TO THEN GREAT JOB, NO ISSUE'S AT ALL WITH CAMERA GOING OFF OR GETTING DROPPED. I'VE SEEN SOME GOOD VIDEO'S FROM BIG COMPANIES THATS SELLING CAR PARTS AND NEVER TO MY VEHICLE OR EVEN TO THE KIND LIKE FORD STYLE, IT MIGHT BE ON A TOYOTA, NOT THE SAME IDEA'S WHEN THINGS ARE DIFFERENT ON CERTAIN THING'S.

[TexanTx]

Thanks A Lot! I asked few places professional installation not just money they were telling me it will take about 1 to 2 hours. After watching your video I was able to do it by myself less than half hour. Thanks again.

[eranshalom]

This is the best video so far about fuses and how to plug them the correct way with understanding of what you're doing.
Your simple explanation really digs it. No shortcuts of this important topic, yet no fancy terms without explanation.
This is really the essence of KISS - Keep It Stupid Simple.

[paulwebb]

i have been trying to hard wire my dash cam and have watched other videos but they dont give full instrcuctons, then found this video and it details every aspect of wiring, after watching i wired my dash cam in minutes, thank you for the precise detail and instructions, PS, best part is i also have a pathfinder so even showing of the fuses was very helpful

[tsutaz]

This really helped me as I installed my dash cam using the updated hardwire package, this past weekend. Thank you

[SuperDixxxie]

This is by far the best videos I've seen for hardwire for a dashcam

[gdwill]

Very nice video and you did confirm what I was looking for in hard wiring. The sound was great and step-by-step instructions was spot on.

[juroya]

Best DASH-CAM HARD-WIRING VIDEO I've seen; and I've seen several during the past few days. Thank You

[paulbradford]

Thank you. That is very informative. I bought a hard wire kit for the dash cam that I'm about to install in my daughters car. I asked at the shop if it was easy to install and their technician said that it was. All I had to do was find the wiring under the bonnet (hood) with constant power and switched power as well as an earth.
When I opened the kit, it was very similar content wise to yours. Having watched your video, it is a much easier job using the fuse box than he intimated. My only difficulty is there is the tighter space in a Skada Fabia 3 fuse box.
I'll take a look at hard wiring my own dash cam too, which has a different connection on the power lead.

[totom]

So concise.. this guy has given me the confidence to take the self installation on. Thank you 👍

Hi, it's now July 2021 and 3.5 years later and almost 350K views. Such an excellent video it makes other videos seem useless in comparison. Looking forward to more ! Thanks :)
