The Z-EDGE T4 dashcam could give a low battery alarm and not turn on when connected to power in a truck due to the following reasons:
1. Faulty Wiring or Poor Installation – If the power connection is not properly installed, the dashcam may not receive sufficient power. 2. Defective Fuses – A blown fuse in the truck’s power system could prevent the dashcam from getting power. 3. Parasitic Drain – If other devices are drawing excessive power, the dashcam may not receive enough to function properly. 4. Faulty Charging System – If the truck’s charging system is malfunctioning, it may not supply adequate power to the dashcam. 5. Defective Alternator – A bad alternator or diode issue could lead to inconsistent power delivery, preventing the dashcam from staying on. 6. Extreme Temperature Conditions – Very hot or cold temperatures could affect the power delivery or the dashcam’s internal battery performance.
Checking the truck’s power source, wiring, fuses, and alternator could help resolve the issue.
