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 ?

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.

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.
