    This is extremely wrong: you shouldn't pick any random fuse like that. You might attach your dashcam to an important fuse for ABS, or airbags and in case of dashcam burning your fuse you will risk your life on the road without even knowing it. Always check your fuse box schematic and pick a fuse for non important parts like electric mirrors, heated seats or in best case lighter port.

    You really should secure the wires in the A pillar above your air bag so it is not in the way in case your air bag needs to deploy.

    • @kentix417
      @kentix417 2 года назад +9

      Yes, that was a travesty. It's a basic fact about doing that work. If you have gone to all the trouble of pulling the cover off (which you should), you should finish the job right by securing the wires so they stay behind the airbag. You don't want them interfering with the airbag's deployment path and timing.
      I just did that yesterday when installing my dash cam in the front and today with the rear passenger airbag when installing the back-facing camera that connects to the front dash cam.

    Great video, its good practice to use a larger fuse to tap from, lager then 5A, the dash cam does not draw a lot but still better to run off a larger source. Also its good practice to tap from a non critical circuit, avoid fuel pumps, engine timing, gauge cluster etc, in case you do get an overload condition your dash cam doesn't hinder or disable your car, use something like heated seats, high beams if they are powered by ignition on.

    Top tip if you are using a front and rear camera when you have digital radio like here in Europe. Throw three or more ferrite magnets around the cables that go along the side and roof to stop you radio not working when the dash cam is on. All dash cam power signals will interfere with the DAB radio antennas in your car unless shielded by ferrite magnets.

Don't choose an important fuse to piggyback on. Lastly if you use an empty fuse position only use a fuse for your new accessory, don't have a 2nd fuse.

  • @martincavin6760
    @martincavin6760 6 лет назад +23

    It's important which way you plug the fuse tap in. After removing the fuse from fuse box, you need to individually test the two fuse contacts in the box with a voltmeter to determine which is the "line" side (supply), and which is the "load" side. The line side will have voltage when the ignition is ON, the load side won't. When plugging in the tap, the wire to the new load must exit the tap on the same side as the load contact in the fuse box.
    If you plug the tap in backwards, the current for the new load will be drawn from the load side of the original circuit, which means the new load current will pass thru the original fuse as well as the new fuse. If your original fuse was 5 A and your new load is 10A you will blow the 5A fuse. This guy is obviously not a professional.

    it's not really a good idea to leave the wires dangling inside the A pillar trim on cars with side curtain airbags as it could interfere or get damaged when the airbags deploy. It's best if you anchor the wires to something (preferably to the pre-existing harness), it also can prevent the wires from rattling.

      @billredding2000 5 лет назад +5

      @Kim:
      Some dashcams have batteries that are there ONLY for the parking sensor -- my Akaso Trace 1 Pro dashcam is one of them. The camera is powered from a 12v accessory socket that is NOT on when the car is turned off, but when the car is bumped it wakes up and starts recording for 30 seconds, then turns off...until the next bump. So it doesn't need power from the car's battery, if has one but as said, ONLY for the knock-sensor ("Parking Sensor"). The battery can only run for about 20 minutes max but for occasional 30-seconds recordings, that should be fine -- unless your car is bumped/hit A LOT! Then the next time the car is started it recharges the camera's battery (which is not intended for anything else since the camera itself starts up as soon as the ignition is turned on and gets its power that way). I suspect this Apeman dashcam also has a small battery to run its Knock Sensor.

    If I hook my dash cam to the fuse that only gives power when the ignition is turned on, would my parking mode feature in my camera still records even with no power?

      Your dash cam would have to be connected to a fuse that gets constant power, like the interior lights for parking mode work.

    most dash cam use a 12volt connection and you don't have to mess with a fusebox. The wiring is the same way but without having to remove side panel. You just need a flat head and push it in and push in the door rubber sealer. My dash cam is small ball that can rotate, magnetic removable, and has a phone app you can connect to it to view the video.

    If you want to enable parking monitoring, you should pick a fuse that draws power while the car is off. You also have empty slots that you didn't check.

    • @alanw5812

      it will kill the battery, but you can buy a contorl box to set to the lower voltage ,then cut the cam power.

    Does anyone have any suggestions to help keep the wire in place by headliner and pillar? The gap in My car is essentially too big and the cable easily comes out. I’m thinking some type of putty or something maybe. I do not want to remove the weatherstripping or other parts to do the install.
