Upgraded Dash Cam Hardwire Kit 13ft cable

This Type-C hardwire kit supplies constant 5V power to a dash cam, radar detector or GPS from a 12V–24V vehicle electrical system, allowing 24-hour monitoring when the battery capacity permits. It focuses on maintaining battery safety with a low voltage protection cut-off, and is suited to users who want a concealed permanent power connection rather than a cigarette-lighter lead.

Key Points

This hardwire kit does not provide an ACC signal output and therefore will not enable time-lapse recording functions that require ignition detection. It simply supplies power continuously while monitoring battery voltage. According to the manufacturer, the low voltage protection will disconnect power at around 11.8V for 12V systems and 23.6V for 24V systems to preserve enough charge to start the engine. Installation is intended to be straightforward with included clips and pry tools to access the fuse box and a paper instruction sheet for guidance. A magnetic ring is supplied to reduce interference.

Technical Specifications

• Name: Upgraded Dash Cam Hardwire Kit Type-C USB
• Input: 12V–24V
• Output: 5V / 3A (compatible with 1A devices)
• Low voltage cut-off: approx. 11.8V (12V) and 23.6V (24V)
• Cable length: 13 ft (approximately 4 metres)

Usage Recommendations

Connect the provided fuse adapters — Mini, Low-Profile Mini, ATO (regular) and Micro2 — to the vehicle fuse box to draw permanent power, or wire into the battery if preferred by a qualified installer. Ensure the vehicle battery has sufficient capacity for extended surveillance, because the kit will stop supplying power if the battery voltage falls to the protection threshold. Check that your dash cam uses a Type-C input before purchase, as the kit is Type-C only.

Positive Aspects

The permanent hidden cabling gives a cleaner installation and removes reliance on the 12V socket which can be accidentally unplugged. The built-in voltage sensing adds a layer of protection against vehicle battery drain, and the variety of fuse adapters increases compatibility with different car models. Note that this product is not an RF device and does not generate or transmit radio signals.
