Nøglefunktioner:

• Type-C kompatibilitet: Designed specifically for USB-C powered dash cams, providing a stable 5V/2A output from 12V-24V input.
• Nem installation: Eliminates the need for a car cigarette lighter socket, offering a permanent and hidden cable solution.
• 24-timers overvågning: Connects directly to the car battery or fuse box for continuous power, even when the vehicle is off, enabling parking surveillance.
• Lav voltage Beskyttelse: Automatically cuts off power when the vehicle's voltage drops below 11.8V (±0.2V) to prevent battery drain. Not suitable for trucks with voltage over 24V.
• Forbedret sikkerhed: Includes protection against over-current, short-circuit, reverse connection, and overheating.

Installationsvejledning

Follow these steps carefully to install your REDTIGER Hardwire Kit. It is strongly recommended to refer to your vehicle's manual or seek professional help if needed, as installation steps may vary by vehicle model.

Tjekliste før installation:

1. Sørg for, at køretøjets motor er slukket.
2. Disconnect the negative terminal of your car battery to prevent short circuits.
3. Gather necessary tools: crowbar/trim removal tool, wire strippers/crimpers (if needed for fuse taps), multimeter (optional, for testing fuse slots).

Trin-for-trin installation:

1. Route the Dash Cam Cable:

   Reserve a section of the dash cam's power cable for the hardwire kit connection. Use a trim removal tool (crowbar) to hide the remaining wire along the gap of the front windshield. Continue routing the cable along the A-pillar, then along the gap between the car body and the ceiling on the passenger side, and finally between the rear seat and the ceiling towards the trunk.

2. Find sikringsboksen:

   The fuse box is typically located under the dashboard on the driver's side or in the engine compartment. For some vehicles, like certain BMW models, it might be in the trunk. Consult your vehicle's manual for the exact location.

3. Identificér sikringspladser:

   The hardwire kit has three wires: red, yellow, and black. You need to identify two specific fuse slots in your vehicle's fuse box:

   • ACC (Accessory) Fuse Slot: This slot provides power only when the ignition is on.
   • Constant Power (B+) Fuse Slot: This slot provides power even when the ignition is off.

   You can determine the specific current for each terminal by referring to the fuse box instructions or by checking the markings on the fuse box cover. A multimeter can also be used to test for power presence.

   Note: Some car models have a delayed power-off feature for the ACC terminal. It is necessary to wait until the power is completely cut off before conducting the test to accurately identify the ACC terminal.

4. Tilslut ledningerne:
   • Tilslut rød ledning from the hardwire kit to the identified ACC fuse slot.
   • Tilslut gul ledning from the hardwire kit to the identified constant power (B+) fuse slot.
   • Find a suitable grounding point near the fuse box (a metal surface securely connected to the vehicle's chassis). Connect the sort ledning from the hardwire kit to this grounding point using a ring terminal or suitable connector.

5. Secure Wiring and Test:

   Once all connections are secure, tuck away any excess wires and ensure they are safely routed to avoid interference with the vehicle's controls. Reconnect the negative terminal of your car battery. Test the hardwire kit by turning on the ignition. The dash cam should receive power and begin functioning.

Betjeningsvejledning

Once installed, the REDTIGER Hardwire Kit enables continuous power to your dash cam, primarily for parking monitoring features.

24-timers parkeringsovervågning:

The kit allows your dash cam to remain powered and record even when your vehicle is parked and the ignition is off. This feature is crucial for surveillance against incidents like hit-and-runs or vandalism while your car is unattended.

Lav voltage Beskyttelse:

To protect your vehicle's battery from excessive discharge, the hardwire kit is equipped with a low voltage cut-off function. If the vehicle's battery voltage drops below 11.8V (±0.2V), the kit will automatically cut off power to the dash cam after 60 seconds. This ensures that there is sufficient power remaining to start your vehicle.
