  • Page 22 Hardwire to the vehicle fusebox Hardwiring a dashcam to the vehicle’s fuse box is one of the most common installation methods to power on your dashcam. You can either wire your dashcam to a ‘constant fuse’ (our preferred method) or an ’ignition-switched fuse’. ! A constant fuse remains on and continues to provide power to the dashcam when the vehicle is off.
  • Page 23 Essential Install Package WARNING: This type of installation should be performed by a qualified or professional person only. Working with your vehicle's power system can be dangerous for you and your vehicle. In any doubt, consult a professional. Hardwire Kit Add a fuse kit Fuse tape...
  • Page 24 Hardwire to the vehicle fusebox Step 1: Locate Your Fuse Box Check the car owner’s manual for the fuse box location. It may vary depending on the vehicle model. Remove the plastic panel to access the fuse box. It may open simply by lifting a tab or pulling it with your fingers, or you may need a trimming tool.
  • Page 25 Step 3: Add-A-Fuse Kit We recommend using an add-a-fuse kit included in our Essential Install Package, for a more secure, long lasting installation. The add -a-fuse kit provides a fuse slot for the existing OEM circuit (constant or ignition switched, #2 in picture below) and another fuse slot for the new circuit for the dashcam device (#1 in picture below).
  • Page 26 Hardwire to the vehicle fusebox 1. Insert the new fuse tap provided in the kit into “slot 1” , and the fuse from the fuse box into “slot 2” (Constant or Ignition Switch). If you set them with the wrong order, it will not feed power to the hardwire kit.
  • Page 27 2. Connect the hardwiring cable with the terminal crimp connector from the add-a-fuse kit. Trim off some of the rubber tubing to expose the wiring on your hardwiring cable. Then crimp them down together. You should be able to crimp the fuse kit with a standard needle nose plier. We recommend using electrical tape to further secure the wire.
  • Page 28 Hardwire to the vehicle fusebox 3. Connect your Add-a-Fuse Kit to the vehicle fuse slot you chose. Step 4: Ground the Hardwire Kit 4. The ground wire is usually in the shape of a ring or a C. To connect the ground wire, slip it under a metal bolt or screw in your vehicle.
  • Page 29 Step 5: Test Your Dash Cam 6. Plug the power cable to the dashcam. Start your vehicle to test the dashcam. Once you tested your dashcam, run the power cable along the headliner of the car along the A-Pillar to the power source. That’s it.
