    Dashcam Install Help

    Well apparently it was still enough to trip whatever battery protection the Model 3 has (though I don't think if it's been determined to be a cumulative amount of power drawn or if it's some rate over a period of time). From what I've seen the A129 should use ~20-30% less energy than the DR750S...

    Dashcam Install Help

    Okay it's been 3 months +/- a few days with my DR750S-2CH hooked up to my car's 12V running an average of ~30 hours a week. Still no battery service errors. Car's currently on 2018.21.9. I may be switching out the DR750S for a Viofo A129-2CH in the next few months and I think it may consume...

Also it’s not a normal Li-ion battery, it’s a Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePo4) which won’t explode in a hot car...

    Dashcam Install Help

    Are you comfortable wiring it up yourself? My hardwire set up is very straightforward with nothing exposed besides the switch under the glovebox. All the extra soldering work I did was to add a bunch of quick disconnect points for easy removability/maintenance/modularity. Didn’t need to make...

    Dashcam Install Help

    With the luck I've had with hit-and-runs, I've been running my dash cam off of a normal mobile battery bank. However I was not comfortable with how hot it was getting in the car so I bit the bullet and hardwired it to the 12v battery today. Running a Blackvue 750S 2-channel with a 3-amp fuse...
