Hardwire kits, OBD power adapters and cigarette lighter cables for dash cameras. A hardwire kit is what powers parking mode, with a low-voltage cutoff that protects your starting battery.
Hardwire kit or plug-in?
A cigarette lighter cable is the simplest option, but in most vehicles the outlet switches off with the ignition, so there's no parking mode. A hardwire kit connects to your fuse box, keeps the camera recording while you're parked and shuts it off before your battery gets too low to start the car.
Use the cable made for your camera
Hardwire kits differ in connector and in the parking mode features they support. Check the product page, or pick your camera in our accessory finder.
OBD power adapters
An OBD-II adapter plugs into the diagnostic port under the dash instead of the fuse box. It's quicker to fit and easy to remove, which suits leased vehicles.
