FAQ
What’s the difference between hardwired and plug-in dashcams?
Plug-in dashcams are powered via a car’s 12V socket (like a cigarette lighter), while hardwired units are connected directly to the fuse box. A plug-in setup is quick and easy to install, but it limits features like parking mode and can leave cables hanging in the cabin. Hardwiring allows for cleaner installation and enables constant power for features like motion-activated recording. It's also less likely to come loose or get knocked out while driving.
Can a dashcam drain your car battery?
Dashcams can drain your battery if left running when the engine’s off, especially if they’re hardwired without a proper battery management system. Good hardwired setups include low-voltage cut-offs that stop drawing power once your battery drops to a certain level. Plug-in models usually shut off with the ignition, which prevents this issue. If you plan to use parking mode or leave the dashcam on overnight, talk to an auto electrician about the safest way to wire it. This helps protect your battery and ensures your system stays reliable.
Do I need a rear-facing camera as well?
A rear-facing camera can be a useful addition, especially if you’re concerned about rear-end collisions or want better visibility when reversing. Some models come with dual-channel systems, capturing both front and rear footage simultaneously. These cameras can also record what’s happening inside the vehicle, which is handy for rideshare drivers or those with passengers. The choice ultimately comes down to your driving habits and the type of coverage you want. If you're not sure, an auto electrician can recommend a setup that suits your needs.
