The process encompasses connecting a dashcam directly to a vehicle’s fuse box, providing a constant power supply. This method bypasses the cigarette lighter socket, freeing it for other devices. A specific example involves utilizing a Vantrue-branded set of components designed for this purpose, ensuring compatibility and optimized performance with Vantrue dashcam models.
Employing this direct connection offers several advantages. Primarily, it enables the dashcam to operate in parking mode, recording incidents even when the vehicle is unattended. This can be crucial for capturing evidence of vandalism or hit-and-run accidents. Historically, relying on the cigarette lighter limited dashcam functionality to when the ignition was on. The adoption of direct wiring solutions has significantly enhanced the security and surveillance capabilities of these devices.
