Our Dash Camera Hardwire & Fitment Service
Dash cams are a great piece of equipment for reassurance out on the road. They offer video proof of every journey you take on the road, recording important incidents such as collisions or bumps to your vehicle. In the event you do have an accident, this footage can be shared with your vehicle insurer provider or police to prove exactly what happened.
As a dash cam requires power from the 12v power outlet inside your vehicle, unless hardwired you will need to use your cigarette lighter inside the vehicle. If your dash cam is not hard wired, you may have to put up with trailing wires or alternating your power supply source between your dash cam, phone charger, Sat Nav or tablet.
The Advantages Of Hard Wiring Your Dash Camera
By hard wiring your dash cam it means all the time your engine is running, your dash cam is working. This means peace of mind that your camera is recording your every journey. You will not have to worry about untidy or loose cables becoming tangled or being accidentally pulled out. The cables will be carefully tucked behind the vehicle’s dashboard, and your cigarette lighter will be free to charge your phone or other electrical appliance you may need.
If you have brought a dash cam that is equipped with a Parking Mode feature (24/7 impact and motion detection), you will need to have the dash cam hardwired for this feature to function.
We can normally offer the option of wiring the dash cam so it is only live when the ignition is on, (when turning your vehicle on the dash camera will be live). If you have a dash cam which needs a permanent feed, we can normally wire this so there is always power, but please note this is only suitable if the dash cam you have chosen is designed to work in this way.
