anyone have any experience hardwiring dashcam to fuse box under the hood?
hey guys, so i'm in a bit of a dilemma. I have a '01 Integra gs-r that I would like to have a dash cam constantly running. My question is which fuses should I tap my wires to ?
I'm looking to tap into the fuse box that's under the hood. Also what's a good spot near-by that I can ground to? If it helps I have a thinkware F750 cam.
Thank you guys in advance

Running when the car is on or 100% of the time even while parked?
If you only want it on when the car is on, I'd recommend wiring it into the cigarette lighter circuit, there's a power and a ground running to it and you can just use those. I've done this in three cars including my Integra and it's worked great.
If you want it on 100% of the time even when the car is off, tie into the constant power going to the radio, and the radio also has a ground you can use.
Then route the wire from the center console where those two circuits start, around the passenger side foot well, up the A-pillar, and under the headliner to the dash cam.
Both options are easily accessible in our cars and don't require you to run extra wires through the firewall or do anything to the fuse box.
