How would I use this to power a 5V dash cam? Would I need to run the red wire to an adapter?

This is just a easy way to splice into your fuse box and get power. Wiring is dependent on equipment and how you would like to customize it.

No, your dash cam runs on DC current, which your car provides. I run a 5V wireless charger on mine. The red wire will go to the positive lead on your dash cam and you will ground the negative lead from your cam.

In my previous answer, I said to connect it to the ignition circuit. This way, you'll never have to turn the camera on or off. It will come on automatically when the key is on, and turn off when you turn off the engine.

To use this fuse holder, you will plug it into a fuse slot operating on the ignition circuit. You will put the existing fuse in one slot, and another fuse in the second slot to run the camera. Simply connect the camera's USB wire to this adapter: "12v to 5v Weather Proof Under Dash USB Power Port Outlet". The red wire from the adapter is connected to the fuse holder red wire, and the black wire connects to a good ground.

Hi,. there's 2 power supply in the package with 2 adapter (1 female to 4 female). You can connect 4 cameras to each one. Each adapter have 12vDC 1.5 amp. enought to power them without overheating.

My product was defective and did not work. Went to reorder, but, they are no longer available. Also, I am not sure what kind of connections your 'dash cam' has. This does plug into a regular A/C wall outlet.

Go to a Video service shop and they will run the cable for you. As for USB goes, you cannot.The video shop run my camera cable straight to the accessories fuse box, this way I don't need to use my 12V outlet.Also great camera.

It uses a conventional DC power source used by most 12V security cams. Example - http://www.amazon.com/HQ-Cam-Accessory-Power-Adaptor-Listed-Regulated/dp/B00L2H8Q7O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1419955940&sr=8-1&keywords=security+cam+12v+500ma+power+adaptor

Does dash cam use "mini USB" or "micro USB" - need to know to buy correct hard wire kit

Hello,Thank you for your inquiry. The power for the camera is DC12V 1A, we have the power adapter send with it. You could use it directly.

Hey Jennifer, you have to run a wire to that cam. You can use a batt but I would not recommend it. The proper way is to run a cable and a power wire. I hope this helps.

I think it's made for using in a car. Just needs to be wired to a good source of 12VDC. I used mine with a 12V cigar male plug, with a power meter in the middle, so I could measure the power used by my 12v cameras and my telescope mount.

The camera is suitable for a body cam. Power would be 12 volts. I am using a recorder in my car that would do the recording but it is a little bulky. I have no idea what the long term power requirement for all of it would be. You might try experimenting with a single board micro computer like the Arduino for recording. I don't think it can handle video though.

As long as the camera is actuated by a 12v Signal wire and the video input is a standard RCA. I have yet to see any other connection type used, so I'm 99% certain this will work just fine. My unit has a crisp clean picture and the grid is spot on. Remember to park near a wall at the min distance you want, then adjust the grid while the cam is on to get your spacing right. I aligned my red grid to the base of the wall. Keeps me 8" from obstacles.

Make sure you also buy the CCTV CCD Camera LED Board Single Head 2 Pin Connector Power Cable 5pcsby Ginoor you will have a lot of trouble connecting to it. The cable assembly plugs right into it. You connect the red wire to + 12 Volts and the black wire to ground. Alternatively, you could buy a 12v power supply and connect the cable assembly to it.

You have got to get the Audio Video Power Security Camera Cable with BNC RCA Adaptor ACBVA150 3JH. I can send you a pic of how to hook it up. If you send me a link to copy and paste it. If you see the pic you will know how it works

Hi, Yes the red wire does however belong to power. You can tie it into the reverse brake light. I added a separate fuse which I made accessible. I would also recommend putting little silicone around the camera when mounting to prevent water getting in.

I connected my red wire to the reverse light 12 volt + and the black wire to ground... so my camera will only come on when the vehicle is in reverse. If you want to access the camera at other times, you may need to connect the red wire to a 12 volt + supply that comes on when the ignition key is turned to ACC and install a switch on the circuit. That way you can switch it on whenever you want to.

It requires a power supply (something similar to what a cell phone charger looks like). The power rating/requirements should be found on the device itself, or included documentation. Yes the power is red, should be a 2.1mm round standard for CCTV components as that is the application of what it is being sold for. and then the white RCA would be the mono audio output from the mic. This can be converted to 3.5mm or 1/4" audio plugs with adapters sold separately.

Run the wire Down . The frame rail and up the fire wall into one of the knock out holes and up dash you get power for cam from rev light wire tie into it , if the cable is not long enough get a RCA cable to length needed use heat shrink over the connection to keep clean of all water and dirt ect. ...
