Review on THINKWARE TWA-SH Hardwiring Kit: Uninterrupted Parking Mode, Impact Detection, and Car Voltage Protection! by Lequon Kaneshiro

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Nice cable set. Professional installation is recommended if you're not good with electrical circuits - seriously.

I recently bought a Thinkware F800Pro and wanted to connect it to enable recording in parking mode. This accessory has a 3-pin connector: ground, battery and ACC (Senses Ignition). Each of the power cables (battery and battery) have built-in glass fuses, so your camera is protected. You can connect power cords directly to the fuse box by wrapping the end of the cord around the fuse leg on the hot (battery) side and then plugging in the fuse. However, using a fuse holder with an additional circuit is a cleaner method and does not require soldering. The hardest part of the setup is determining which fuses are always on when connecting the battery and which fuses are always on when the ignition is on. You can find information on the Internet, but you need to check it with a multimeter. Every car manufacturer does this differently, depending on the model and year of manufacture. I wouldn't recommend installing it unless you have knowledge/experience with electrical circuits.
