Dash Cam's

Just fitted a Nextbase 322 using the kit, pretty easy. Just a little information that may save some time. On my 1.0 ltr Boosterjet SZT auto, in the passenger well fuse box there is an unused fuse way.You cannot miss it, no fuse fitted. The piggyback fuse (although slightly the wrong one) will go in this way and supply as instructions an ignition switch controlled supply. The camera will now be on its own supply and not loading or affecting any other circuit.

As an hgv driver I ocasionaly have to swap lorries so my dash cam is always plugged into usb or fag lighter socket rather than hard wired.As i drive alot in the dark i need one thats reasonable at night. My trancend pro 200 and viofo a119 v3 are really good.I dont need wifi or blutooth just a basic dash cam that will record decent footage in low light.I carry a spare sd card so if anything happens I just pop out the card and replace then download original to my computer later on.Both have capacitors rather than batterys.Both are excellent in daytime but think the a119 v3 has a slight edge in low light. Both me and the misses have the trancend in our suzukis aswell.Apart from a corrupted sd card in one of them the trancends have performed faultlessly for years.The A119 v3 is the same but only had it a year and a bit.

I’m have read a few post in here but I’m still unsure which fuse to piggy back off to stop my issue I have with start/stop.

Every time my start/ stop cut in my hard wired next base dash cam stays on but then reboots/ turns itself on and off when the ignition restarts. I have tired a few location but still have the same issue. I’m pulling my hair out (the little I have). The only parameter is it needs to be a permanent live as I like to use parking mode as I park in a busy GP surgery and my beloved vitara has been hit a few times already.

Thanks

Fuse 17 (15 amp, horn) in the fuse box  behind the glovebox will be a permanent live.
I'm not familiar with dash cam wiring requirements but you must also need an an ignition switched live as well otherwise the camera will be working continuously and you'll have a flat battery.

Hi i have a nextbase dash cam , to use permanent live do i just swap the piggy back fuse over to the horn or hazard warning light one? Thanks.

i have my piggybank in the horn fuse, my nextbase 322 camera is set to switch off after 5 minutes of inactivity, but if someone knocks the car the camera will switch on and record for 5 minutes...

Thanks i will probably end up swapping it over.
