vehicle battery. Utilize a 5 - 10 amp fuse and only qualified power material designed specifically for the vehicle for best
results.
Never connect the unit directly to the power source as a high voltage surge may damage both the DVR and the vehicle.

It is advised to operate the DVR while the car is running to minimize the power drain on the vehicle battery. Inspect the
vehicle battery prior to installation to ensure maximum performance of your DVR.
