Compact Hardwire Kit for M300S Dash Cam

The AZDOME 3-Lead Hardwire Kit is a power management device that provides power to your dashcam from your car's battery via fuse box to keep your dashcam continuously running even after your engine is turned off to utilize the 24-hour Parking Monitor feature. Automatically detects voltage input whether your vehicle is running DC 12V or 24V. It is compatible with most dash cameras available in the market with a micro USB power connector.

The Hardwire Kit will monitor your voltage status and cut-off the power to the dashcam if the voltage drops below the configured value more than 8 seconds. And reserves enough power so you can start your car for the next time. You have four different configuration choices that you can select when you want the power to be disconnected to the dash cam when the battery's voltage reaches a certain level.

Make sure to test and identify the minimum necessary battery voltage you will need to start your car for the next time before you set to the lowest setting. We recommend that you start with the highest setting, and then test and press only one voltage option in sequence to find the suitable battery voltage that will give you enough battery power left over to start your car for the next time.

Four Options of Low Voltage Protection: For 12V Battery: 11.8V 12.0V 12.2V 12.4V For 24V Battery: 23.6V 24.0V 24.4V 24.8V

Note: If you press at the same time to select 2 or more options, or do not select the voltage option, this default voltage cut-off is 11.8VDC for a 12VDC battery and 23.6VDC for a 24VDC battery. 12.2V or 24.4V recommended for most users in general driving conditions.

Reverse connect protection, Short circuit protection, Overload protection, and Overtemperature protection (protection circuit over 130℃, return to normal when it drops to 90℃) are included in the Hardwire Kit.

The total cable length is 3.5 Meters (input 0.8 meter, output 2.7 meters) with a Right Angled Mini USB plug, DC 5V, 2.5A output connector. The working temperature range is -20℃ to 90℃.

For the hard-wiring installation, there are 3 wires that need to be connected: A RED wire (BAT+), needs to connect with constant fuse, which can provide power to dash cam even when the vehicle is off. A YELLOW wire (ACC), needs to connect with Fuse Box ACC, which can make the dash cam auto power on&off when the vehicle is on&off. A BLACK wire (GND), needs to connect with metal bolt or screw, which can prevent electric shock.

The Parking Mode only works on dash cams that have the function of detecting ACC, this will make your camera record based on your camera's parking mode setting.

Always refer to the vehicle owner's manual to avoid fuse slots that could pertain to important safety features within your vehicle. For example, avoid fuses that control airbags, stability control programs, etc. Fuses that control certain elements such as the radio, garage door opener, sunroof, etc. are usually safe to use.

Fuse sizes and the type of Fuse Taps vary depending on your vehicle, please check your Fuse Box to see what type of fuse tap your vehicle requires. There are 4 variations of the add-a-fuse that we carry: ACZ(micro2), ACS(mini), ACN(LP-mini) and ACU(ATO) as photos (2 Needed Per Vehicle).

It is NOT compatible with some Ford trucks and vehicles with the included fuse taps. If you have Ford F150 2021, Ford F150 Lariat 2011, Ford F350, Ford Edge 2011, Ford Explorer 2013, Ford Expedition 2013, Ford Ranger 2021 trucks/cars, this will not work for you.

AZDOME M300S dash cam is built in Super Capacitor. No power pack or batteries. It must be powered by connecting to your car in one of three ways direct connect to a fuse, cigarette light adapter or a OBD cable. So if you want to use parking mode you need to purchase hard-wiring kit with 3 wires, the output current need reach 5V/2.5A.
