Hardwire dashcam
Hardwire dashcam
Evening all,
Can someone take a pic of where they’ve grounded their hardwired dashcam?
I’m having a recurring problem whereby the dashcam works and charges for about a week and then suddenly stops charging. After a couple of days it goes back to normal again so at a loss as to what’s causing the issue.
This is where I’m grounding it at the moment and can only think this is the issue.
TIA

Re: Hardwire dashcam
I had the dashcam installed by Halford, so not sure where he grounded it to....
I'll try and check tomorrow, but given the weather, we are planning to have a drive and so removing the rear seats is not the easiest thing to do.

Re: Hardwire dashcam
No rush but would be amazing for a pic when you can! Much appreciated 

Re: Hardwire dashcam
Hi mate, did you have a chance to check the ground point Halfords used?
Many thanks!

Re: Hardwire dashcam
Thanks, much appreciated!
Doesn’t look too dissimilar to where I have it but will replicate what they’ve done. Assume you’ve not had any issue since install?
Thanks again!

No problems at all since it was installed July 2019. It has worked flawlessly with the 256gb SanDisk High Endurance card which gives me about 1.5 days of continuous 4k+rear HD recording. I record 24 hours even when parked and so it is constantly writing to the memory card.

Re: Hardwire dashcam
Just a piece of information I was given by Blackvue directly last week. If you’re using larger cards than 16 gig, they recommend formatting the card every few weeks (he suggested once a month to me). This can either be done in a computer or via a long press of the side button. This is an EV specific recommendation as the camera is running 24/7 and it will help prolong the life of your card.fa147 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 22, 2020 1:18 am

Re: Hardwire dashcam
I also read that on the BlackVue forums and do so every time I remember, which could sometimes be 6-8 weeks at a time. So I’d echo ADD’s advice.Abu Dhabi Dude wrote: ↑Wed Jul 22, 2020 2:56 pmJust a piece of information I was given by Blackvue directly last week.
