Hi, i recently brought a dash cam for my 2016 is350. I'm from Vancouver, BC. My fuse box is located at the left front, driver side. The dash cam i have has 24hr parking mode feature. Fom the online instruction said i need a 12v 15a acc and a 10a vcc. However, by reading the diagram from the fuse box doesn't really help me understand which slot is safe to go for.


Here is the diagram looks extremely the same as mine which i download from another post in is website.





Can anyone please tell me which 15a and 10a slot i should use?





By reading others' posts, I figure that for the 15a i could use the 15a p/outlet no1 for ignition switch power. Can anyone confirm me is this true?





And also, I need a 10a slot is good for the parking mode which require power even the car is completely off.





Thank you so much,


best regards

 

I personally used the 15A Hazard at the top of the middle column. Cannot comment on a 10A source since I never used it.

Word of caution... high likelihood youll drain your car's battery if you leave it on over night. I learned the hardway when I first got my dashcam.

I now use a separate external battery to allow for continuous recording... Friend was nice enough to provide me this.

 

I don't recommend using parking mode without using an external battery. (something like a celllink battery b, I got mine + a hardwiring kit from blackboxmycar)

I do hope you are using the add a fuse style fuse taps.
I used the Hazards Fuse as my constant power, and ignition 2 for my switched power.

When i transitioned to a battery, i ran the hardwire directly to the battery pack with the kit, and there's only one fuse tap from the battery to an acc/switched fuse.

I have a blacksys ch100b + celllink battery b. My dashcam enters parking mode recording whenever it detects that the car is stationary for 5 minutes. Once the battery pack runs out of power, the camera stops recording. If my camera is still in parking mode, and it detects the car is moving again, it'll go back to regular driving mode recording. My battery pack was advertised to be fully charged with 1 hour of driving, and it'll provide about 17 - 24 hours of parking mode recording. I typically have a 20 - 30 minute commute each way and i can pull footage from overnight parking.

 

Hi, what fuse did you tap your battery pack ACC power from?
