Will a hardwire kit drain my car battery?

Question

Accepted Answer

Good hardwire kits include low-voltage cutoff that disconnects the dashcam before your battery drops too low to start the car. Set the cutoff to 11.8V (12V systems) for safe parking mode operation. Check your battery health if parking mode regularly exceeds 12 hours.
