Dash Cam hard wire

[SandLake]

Following coming off worst against a white van I decided to get a dash cam, a Mini 0906 front/rear camera setup.

I have the front camera hooked up using the cigarette lighter socket but I would like it hard wired, does anyone on here do that (I break things!) or know of anyone?

I'm in Antrim but happy to travel a bit.

Buy a hard wire kit an do it yourself
Not hard an if not confident. YouTube has lots of videos

Ollie at Sourceincar off of face tubes will fit it for you. If you haven't got the skills to determine what wire to tap into then a warning light reset will cost more to switch off!
@OLLIeCrX is his handle on here

Its real easy to do yourself, just 2 wires. I fitted another 12 socket into a cuby hole under the steering wheel and just plug the cigarette plug that came with the camera into that. So it can be easily removed.

Can get a power kit that will piggy back off a fuse in the fuse box too, never used one but looks a handy way of doing these

I am particularly ham-fisted, it would not be a good idea for me to do. Thanks CarTunes, I'll give OllieCRX a shout

The last time you did this you fried your dashcam.

I also used the wipers, works a treat.

Yeah... when you realise you’re feeding a solid 12v into the 5v device... what’s that burning smell
