Hi,

I am going to install a dashcam on my c7 and i'd like for it to have a constant power supply for parking monitoring. Where would be the best spot to tap into a 5V line? (Camera uses less than 1A)

The electrical system on the car is 12 volts, you would need a converter such as this to convert 12 volts down to 5 volts. https://www.ebay.com/itm/DC-DC-12V-2...-/331166257737 or you could probably wire a usb connector to your camera and if you have a lighter in your car, use one of these. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Griffin-Pow...8AAOSwMURaxkYu

Thank you. I can always just plug into the usb ports directly while the car is on and that would power the cam but I was asking more of where as in, the physical location to do the tap. I have seen some just get one of those fuse connector extensions plugs, so I was wondering which one of the fuse boxes & fuse would be easiest to connect into
