The Dash Cam will automatically power on and start recording once power is available.
In some vehicles this will be when connections are made, for others the Dash Cam will power
on once the ignition has been turned on.
Also available to purchase is a Nextbase Hardwire Kit. This connects your Dash Cam directly to the
vehicle’s fusebox to power it leaving your 12Vdc outlet available for Phone / Sat Nav charging.
The Nextbase™ Hardwire Kit includes the necessary 12-24Vdc to 5Vdc convertor and battery
protection circuitry. See pages 9-10 of the Nextbase™ Accessories Manual for further information.
Route the power cable around the windshield to the 12-24Vdc socket, ensuring that your view is
not obstructed, and that the cable is not a distraction. Use the cable fitting tool (bottom, left) included
with your Dash Cam to more easily open the lining of your vehicle, within which you can stow the cable.
See page 20, ‘
Camera Angl e Adjustment ’ for more details.
Note:
- Do NOT wire the Dash Cam directly to a 12Vdc supply by cutting the cigarette plug off the end of
the cable, or permanent damage will result.
