AZDOME JYX05 Dash Cam Hardwire Kit, USB Type C Hard Wire Kit for M27 M330 PG16S-3CH M580 M560-3CH PG19X Dashcam, Converts 12-24V to 5V/2.5A Low Voltage Protection for Dash Cameras (11.5ft)

Installed this to connect a Rove R2 dash camera in a 2021 Hyundai Palisade. Was very easy to install to the fuse box - I like the fact that this has three lines - power, accessory lead, and ground. The whole installation including routing the cable through the a pillar to the camera took less than 30 minutes. Get a trim tool to help you get into tight parts of trim.

I picked up an Azdome M550 dash camera set a while back. It works very nicely, but I have to say, having the various cigarette-lighter-powered cables snaking over my dashboard gets annoying. I upgraded the M550 (which, in my case, had the front camera and rear camera but not the interior camera), and also decided I wanted to hardwire it, to get rid of the extra cables and clean up my interior. I knew, of course, that "hardwiring" is not all THAT complicated. It's possible to do it with only some basic wiring skills, but I also recognize that there are issues with potentially making a mistake and screwing up my car's fusebox. So, I decided to go with a preconfigured "kit." As my camera is an Azdome device, I decided to look into the Azdome solution first. And while I looked at quite a few others, this one was the one I decided to go with, for reasons I'll explain. First off, I liked how this device has the ability to connect to different fusebox configurations. This wouldn't be a problem if I knew I'd keep my existing vehicle for the rest of my life, but in case I do replace this car, I want the ability to swap it into a vehicle which might not have the same type of fuses. Second, I like the "piggybacking terminal" solution which allows me to use an existing fusebox slot without removing the functionality of that slot, or putting that through the same fuse as this device uses. when you use this, you get to use one fuse for whatever goes into that slot, and another fuse for whatever you're powering from this hardware kit. That's a nice feature! It does, however, increase the height of the connection, so if your fusebox has a close-fitting cover, this COULD potentially cause a problem with not being able to close the cover. So far, I've never found a fuse box which is that closely fitting, but it's possible! Now, depending on the device you're using, you might want this to be powered off when you turn off your ignition, or to be left powered on even after shutting down the ignition. You'll need to do some homework to figure out which fuse locations in your fusebox are "live" when the car is shut down and which are "off" when the ignition is off. This matters because, for the M550 dashcam, and some others on the market, there is an option to have the camera record if any "impact" is detected... including when the vehicle is parked. This way, if someone hits your car in a parking lot or parking garage, a record of the incident will be recorded. If you're using the camera to do this, you'll need an "always on" circuit. Of course, this is potentially a problem. If the device is "always on," it can potentially drain your car's battery to the point where the car cannot be started, or even to the point where the battery is completely "dead." That's where I think this particular solution really shines. It has a user-selectable threshhold voltage, and if the battery voltage falls below the level you select, it will cease drawing power. The camera will no longer operate, of course, but the vehicle will remain operable. (This is going to be most useful for people who drive daily, but park in a parking garage at work, or in similar situations.) Selection of a cut-off voltage is by DIP switches, and it may take some trial and error to arrive at the specific setting which works best for you, but this feature is a GODSEND... being able to balance out "protection" against "battery drain." I've been using one of these for my Azdome M550 dash cam for some time, and just purchased a second one, which I'm going to use to power my in-car radar detector (which is also powered by standard 5V mini-USB). In that case, I will connect it to an "off when the ignition is off" circuit and won't be using the "auto-cutoff by voltage" setting at all, but I chose to go with another of these because I really like the "useable with different fusebox configurations" option. With this, the only cable I'll have dangling in my car's cabin will be the one powering my smartphone charging holder. Going from three cables to just one, with none hanging in my windshield area? That's a major improvement for my "in car quality of life." (PS - I note several other reviewers mention that this "drains my battery." I'm guessing that they didn't read up on the auto-shut-off feature, and had it set to some cut-off-voltage level which was too low to start their vehicle. Again, I recommend setting it to a higher voltage setting, at first, and experimentally setting it down until you find the optimal setting for your powered device and car's electrical system. If you've done it correctly, you'll never drain down your car battery to an inconvenient level.)

Excellent quality

No funciono, jamas encendió la dash cam, y con el encendedor de cigarrillos funciona muy bien, lo malo es que solo encendido graba, y yo queria el otro modo para que grabara aun apagado por si algo sucede cuando estas ausente

Instructions were detailed and now i can have my camera capture parked bumps and breakins while parked. I dont have to think about it, it just works!
