5 Plug the power cable into the 12-24Vdc outlet of your vehicle
The Dash Cam will automatically power on and start recording once power is available.
In some vehicles this will be when connections are made, for others the Dash Cam will power
on once the ignition has been turned on.
Also available to purchase is a Nextbase™ Hardwire Kit. This connects your Dash Cam directly to
the vehicle’s fusebox to power it leaving your 12Vdc outlet available for Phone / Sat Nav charging.
The Nextbase Hardwire Kit includes the necessary 12-24Vdc to 5Vdc convertor and battery
protection circuitry. See page 9-10 of the Nextbase Accessories Manual for further information.
Route the power cable around the windshield to the 12-24Vdc socket, ensuring that your view is
not obstructed, and that the cable is not a distraction. Use the cable fitting tool (bottom, left)
included with your Dash Cam to more easily open the lining of your vehicle, within which you can
stow the cable.
See page 17, ‘Positioning your Dashcam’ for more details.
Note:
- Do NOT wire the Dash Cam directly to a 12Vdc supply by cutting the cigarette plug off the end of
the cable, or permanent damage will result.
