REDTIGER Dash Cam Acc Multi-Size Hardwire Kit with Voltage Indicator for Dash Camera, USB C Power Port, 24H Parking Monitoring with Low Voltage Protection

This Dashcam Hardware(HW) kit has a USB-C connector and worked with my Redtiger F7N Touch. One BIG plus is that the dashcam starts up much quicker. With the standard ACC adapter, the F7N takes an excruciating 21 seconds to start recording. I can be well on the road by then. With the HW kit, the dashcam switches from parking mode to recording in a second or two.It also displays the voltage of the battery and the cutoff voltage. I stuck it to my dash so I can see these voltages easily, but you can easily put it near your fuse box if you want it out of sight.The kit comes with a bunch of 'Fuse Taps' so you can find B+ and ACC power. I had to use a voltmeter to find the active side of the fuse after removing the fuse because the power side was not always on the 'top.'I cracked the case open and I did not see any red-flags with the the electronics - it looks well built. Below are the connections from the Regulator to the USB-C pins. This is important because the dashcam needs to get constant power for its time-lapse parking monitor mode and needs to know when the car is started (ACC goes active) to start live recording, and these signals need to be on the correct pins.Below are the connections from the HW kit wires to the USB-C conector.Red Tiger HW kit USB-C PinoutBlack wire: USB-C pins B1,B12 A1,A12 (All GND pins)Yellow wire: Switched B+ USB-C pins A4, A9,B4, B9 (All VBUS pins)Red wire: Switched Acc USB-C pins A5,A8, B5, B8 (cc1,sbu1,cc2,sbu2)The F7N seems satisfied with receiving the ACC signal on just the cc1/cc2 pins, and this seems to be a dashcam 'standard' if you can call it that. This was verified by using a generic HW kit that did not have connections to sbu1, sbu2.The battery protection cutoff voltage is adjustable with 3 cutoff voltage choices and a digital voltage display, which can be nice to monitor your battery condition.The only issue I have with this HW kit is that sometimes the display does not light up, making me think it is not working. When I start the car, my dashcam starts up but the display does not illuminate with ACC. If I move the voltage cutoff switch, then the display lights up, displays the new cutoff voltage, then it displays ACC. So a minor 'glitch' in the display, but overall it seems to work.

Simple install. Needs longer wire, still worked great.

I bought this hardwire kit for my dashcam so I could keep my windshield clean and power the camera without needing to plug it into the cigarette lighter—and I’m super happy with it!Installation was easier than I expected. The instructions were clear, and all the necessary fuse adapters and tools were included. I had it wired up and running in under 30 minutes, and I’m by no means a car expert. Just make sure to double-check your car’s fuse layout and use a multimeter if you’re unsure!The build quality is solid. The cables are thick, durable, and long enough to tuck neatly along the headliner and down into the fuse box. It also has low-voltage protection, which gives me peace of mind that my car battery won’t be drained if I leave it in parking mode overnight.Since installing it, my dashcam starts up instantly with the ignition and switches into parking mode perfectly. Zero issues so far.If you're looking to clean up your setup and get the most out of your dashcam, this hardwire kit is definitely worth it. Clean look, reliable power, and one less thing to think about.

I got this to hardwire a F7NP into my 2013 Ford F-150. They include a low-profile mini (ATT/APS) fuse adapter which the F-150 uses, but the adapter didn't seat properly in the fuse panel. The fuse panel has two ribs along the sides of the fuses that prevent the adapter from seating. After coming up empty looking for a fuse extender that would work, I measured the mini adapter (APM/ATM) and found them to be identical. Sure enough, the APM/ATM adapter was able to seat securely in the slot. The only caveat is that I have two different types of fuses to keep on hand.The kit was easy to install after I got the adapter sorted out, and I particularly liked the voltage readout feature. It's been working nicely and i don't have to plug in/out the 12V adapter.

Defective product. Camera only works with cigerette lighter. Could not have it installed until after 30 days and therefore, camera not working.
