If I hardwire my dash cam, do I have to use the cigarette lighter socket outlet?Updated 15 days ago

No, if you decide to hardwire install your dash cam, you will be using a hardwiring cable instead and will not need the cigarette outlet. If you decide to use your 12V power cable (cigarette lighter adapter), then you will need to use your cigarette lighter socket outlet.

We have an installation guide on our website that shows you how to properly hardwire your dash cam into your vehicle's fuse box.
