I am tired of all the wires running from my cigarette lighter socket in
the car, so want to hard wire the cam in.

Was wondering what was the groups opinion on three-wire systems as
opposed to two wire ones.

AIUI the three-wire systems allow the cars battery to run the
"parked" function rather than using the cameras in-built battery. There
is a low voltage box on the three-wire to stop the camera completely
draining the car's main battery.
Whereas the two-wire set-up turns the camera on and off with the
ignition so any "parked" function must run from the cameras battery.

So what to go for ?

I realise that with three-wire I will need to find a fused circuit that
is ignition switched and one that is constantly on.

Sounds like a plan.

Do you intend to use it while parked ?

Just how long would it take a dash cam to flatten a car battery
holding several hundred watt hours of energy ? They run on milliwatts don't
they ?

I think it depends on how much you expect to use parked functions.

You should be able to pick both up off the feed to the radio.

If/when you do wire it up, I can recommend these chappies as they may
extracting a fused live feed from an existing fuse box a doodle.

Thanks all.
Well I have done it. Went three wire in the end (son likes the idea
of the camera recording anyone that hits the car).
After a false start (couldn't find the interior fuse box).
Only took about twenty minutes and that includes stuffing the wires
behind the roof lining, behind trim etc
