Gazcaz Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Well as some know about my wifes car being written off this week ,all sorted as they agreed it was there fault i have purchased a dash cam for mine and her new one. Is it better in a constant 12 volts or ignition it has a motion sensor so i cant work out if that works via a built in battery or not ?

Matt Alsop Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 I have a Nextbase and it's only powered with the ignition on. The motion detection works using an internal battery. If it had a power supply all the time it would be recording constantly as it starts and stops when I switch the ignition on and off. With ignition off it only records if a shock is detected. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobr Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 I have a Nextbase too and it does have an internal battery. The battery is only used when the ignition is off and there is a shock felt by the dashcam. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
