Will the dash cam drain my car battery?Updated 3 months ago

No, your car battery won’t die when the dash cam is hardwired correctly. The dash cam has built-in battery protection, so you don’t need to adjust any settings in the app. It will automatically shut off once your car battery reaches 11.6V to prevent it from draining.

If the dash cam is connected using the 12V plug instead, most vehicles stop providing power to the 12V port once the car is turned off, so you won’t need to worry about battery drain. However, some vehicle makes and models continue supplying power to the 12V port even when the car is off. Refer to your car’s manual to check if this applies to your vehicle.
