What turns a dash cam into a surveillance camera, without draining the battery.

Key points
  • Powers the camera from the fuse box instead of the cigarette lighter.
  • Connects to two fuses — one permanent, one switched — plus the earth.
  • Cuts out automatically when the battery voltage drops below the set threshold.
  • 3.5 m of cable: enough to run around the windscreen and reach the fuse box on the driver's side.
  • Plug to be chosen to suit your camera: USB-C, micro-USB or mini-USB, same price.
What to know before ordering
Raccordement
Two fuses (permanent and switched) plus the earth. Fuse taps supplied.
Cut-off threshold
Adjustable, usually around 11.6 V.
Cable
3,5 m.
Tension
12 to 24 V: car, motorhome, lorry, van.
Connecteurs
USB-C, micro-USB or mini-USB depending on the version.
Pose
About half an hour; without experience, allow for an installer.
What is in the box
  • The unit, its 3.5 m cable and the fuse taps.
How to use it safely
  • Never settle for a wire on the permanent live: it is the unit that cuts out before the battery gets too low, and that is its whole reason for being.
  • On a tired battery, raise the threshold: 11.6 V is a setting for a battery in good health.
  • If you are not comfortable with the fuse box, have it fitted: the job takes half an hour at an installer.
Check before you buy
  • Look at your camera's connector before ordering: USB-C for recent models, micro-USB for most models of the past few years, mini-USB for older ones.
  • Find your fuse box and identify a permanent fuse and a switched one.
  • If your battery is tired, plan to set the cut-off threshold higher than the default value.

Description

The problem it solves

Plugged into the cigarette lighter, a dash cam switches off with the engine. So it never films what happens to the parked car: the mirror torn off overnight, the door opened too hard in the car park, the scratch down the whole side. Yet that is where most damage happens.

How it works

The kit connects to two fuses — one permanent, one switched — plus the earth. The unit compares the two and so knows whether the engine is running. With the ignition off, it keeps powering the camera in surveillance mode, and cuts out as soon as the battery voltage drops below the set threshold.

It will not drain the battery

That is the unit's main function, and the reason not to settle for a wire on the permanent live. The cut-off threshold is adjustable, usually around 11.6 V: below that, the supply is cut to keep enough charge to start. On a tired battery, set it higher.

Choosing the right socket

Look at your camera's connector before ordering: USB-C for recent models, micro-USB for most models of the past few years, mini-USB for older ones. The price is the same in all three cases.

Worth knowing

  • 3.5 m of cableenough to run around the windscreen and reach the fuse box on the driver's side.
  • 12 à 24 V : voiture, camping-car, camion, utilitaire.
  • Pose : fuse taps supplied. Without experience, plan on a visit to an installer, the job takes half an hour.
  • Free shipping within mainland France, with no minimum order.
  • 14 days to change your mind, returns accepted with no reason required.

When it earns its place

The mirror torn off overnight

Plugged into the cigarette lighter, a dash cam switches off with the engine: it never films what happens to the parked car. Yet that is where most damage happens.

The neighbouring car's door

Opened too hard onto your wing, with no note left on the windscreen. In surveillance mode, the camera triggers on impact.

The car that sleeps in the street

That is the case where the kit fully earns its place, and where the cut-off threshold prevents waking to a car that will not start.

The loaded van

12 to 24 V: the same kit works on a lorry or a motorhome.

Questions we are asked about this product

Will it drain my battery?

That is precisely what the unit prevents, and the reason not to settle for a wire on the permanent live. It compares a permanent fuse and a switched one to know whether the engine is running, and cuts the supply as soon as the voltage drops below the set threshold — usually around 11.6 V. On a tired battery, set it higher.

Quelle prise choisir ?

Look at your camera's connector: USB-C for recent models, micro-USB for most models of the past few years, mini-USB for older ones. The price is the same in all three cases.

Is the cable long enough?

3.5 m, enough to run around the windscreen and back down to the fuse box on the driver's side.

Do you need a professional?

The job takes half an hour and the fuse taps are supplied. Without experience of the fuse box, a visit to an installer remains the simplest option.

Does it work on a motorhome?

Yes, it takes 12 V as well as 24 V: car, motorhome, lorry, van.
