+1...Count me in if there's a group buy for installation at Lockdown.Maplecountry wrote: ↑ May be its about time we arranged another group buy with Lockdown security for dash cam installations for $25 LIKE IN 2014. I'm in for two...
Yes you can. In fact the a119 is shipped with a cigarette lighter cable that plugs directly into the a119. Most people here want the hardwire install because they do not want to see the wire dangling from the dashcam. Having the hardwire kit means all the wires are tucked out of sight, thus making a clean, "factory install" look.
I'm not quite sure about that.
Could you please add the youtube link you used to hard wire your dashcam? Much appreciated.BengaliPrince wrote: ↑ I bought my dashcam a few months ago and followed a youtube video to hardwire it.
It took me around 1.5 hours since it was my first time ever doing something to myself to the car, so I was being super careful making sure I didn't break anything.
Now I can install a dashcam in ~ 15 minutes tops.
I highly recommend trying to do it yourself instead of paying someone to do it. I found it really fun and it's pretty easy.
A few weeks after the dashcam install I took the radio a part and hard wired a aux cable/port into my car following another youtube video.
I plan on installing a dashcam for the rear of my car for the lolz in a few weeks, and a backup camera.
If your gonna hardwire the dashcam all you need is a fuse tap and a hardwire kit (which should cost you no more than $20 in total on Amazon), and a trim removal tool (you can use a flat head screw driver but you will probably end up damaging the trim so it's better to buy a tool
Everything you need to hardwire the A119S DashCam
Hardwire Kit: https://www.amazon.ca/EnjoyGadgets-Mini ... rdwire+kit
Fuse Tap*: https://www.amazon.ca/Adapter-Add-Circu ... s=fuse+tap
Trim Remover Tool (Optional) https://www.amazon.ca/Marrywindix-Dashb ... im+remover
*For the Fuse tap you need to buy the right one, some cars use Mini's while other cars like my Nissan use full size.

Thanks
You need a battery voltage detection installed, to cut off the cam; when the battery drops below 12v.BengaliPrince wrote: ↑ I'm not quite sure about that.
I hardwired my camera into a fuse thats only on when the car is in accessory mode or actually on.
I didn't wanna hardwire it to a fuse thats on 24 hours incase it completely drains the battery some day and I can't turn on my car, plus I don't really see the point in having it record 24 hours lol.
I did the research today. If you want 24 hours recording, then you need this hardware kit to prevent the battery drain.BengaliPrince wrote: ↑ I'm not quite sure about that.
