Due the hardwire kit, a hardwire kit for a dashcam is an accessory that allows the camera to connect directly to the vehicle's electrical system instead of using the cigarette lighter or USB port. This kit includes wires that connect to the car's fuse box and typically comes with a voltage regulator to protect the car's battery.
The main purposes of a hardwire kit are:
Constant power supply: Keeps the dashcam running even when the car is off, which is useful for parking mode.
Battery protection: Many kits feature an automatic shutoff function to prevent the car battery from draining completely.
Clean installation: Helps hide the wires and maintain a tidier appearance in the vehicle.
