Dash Cam install question
Hi guys,
I picked up a Thinkware F200D camera. I also bought a hardwire kit. Can I tie into the dome light wiring for this install ? I already have my Radar detector hardwired from there to go on and off with the key but for the canera I need a constant 12v for the park mode. I kinda assume there is a hot 12 for the dome light switch ??? Any help or tips are appreciated. Thanks, 22R |

For mine I simply have my radar detector and dash cam going into a 12v outlet splitter from the glovebox power outlet. One goes into a LUKAS LK 530 12V UPS, which in turn goes to my rexing v1 dashcam. The other goes to the radar detector. I think the lukas lk 530 no longer exists, but it behaves just like you would expect a hardwired kit to except it doesn't cause a draw on your electricals, and forced the dash cam to record 24/7 rather than a parking mode. This seems like a good replacement: https://www.amazon.com/VicoVation-Vi...T1N51XYPPK41SM Althought be forewarned, SD cards are not designed to be constantly streamed to and will eventually corrupt themselves. I've gone through around 3 or 4 64 GB sd cards since 2015 but it's cheap insurance. Alternatively you could tap and add a fuse to the fuse box for constant 12v power.

I think you misunderstood. In my configuration there is no parking mode, it is simply always on, this continuous use was the cause of the SD card degradation. It would last around 6-8 hours with the car off.

Parking Mode IS continuous operation for me as well. I understood perfectly. If you get the right type of SD card it will last for quite a long time

Fake SanDisk cards did! At one point it was estimated that over 30% of the "SanDisk" micro-SD cards were counterfeit. Even today, if you seem to be getting a great deal on a SanDisk card chances are it is fake. SanDisk has articles on their website on how to spot the counterfeits, but sometimes it is almost impossible prior to purchase/use. Personally, the widespread counterfeiting of SanDisk has led me to avoid them entirely... just not worth the risk with so many alternatives. FYI: https://www.eetimes.com/document.asp?doc_id=1326059

Same topic sort of.
Those saving for a good camera, there is an interim solution. Walmart has a camera for under 20 bucks, not many bells or whistles but could save your ass in court. When you upgrade give it to your mom. |

You're pretty lucky that using explosive devices like mines inside of your car have caused no problems...
