The EnruigeOK OBD2 to USB-A Power Cable provides continuous power for your dash camera, offering both 24-hour surveillance and ACC mode options. This hardwire charger cable ensures your dash cam operates reliably while protecting your car battery.
Features:
* **2 Working Modes:**
* **Surveillance Mode ("—"):** Provides 24-hour parking monitoring. Keeps recording until car battery voltage drops to 11.6V, then powers off after 30 seconds to prevent battery drain.
* **ACC Mode ("O"):** Powers the dash cam on/off with your car's ignition. Automatically powers off 5 minutes after the car's ACC is off.
* **Low Voltage Protection:** Built-in intelligent chip accurately detects car battery voltage (12V/24V) and converts to a constant 5V output. Stops working if battery voltage falls below 11.6V to prevent full battery discharge.
* **Plug and Play:** Easily connects directly to your vehicle's OBD-II port, eliminating complex wiring or fuse operations.
* **Power Output:** Delivers 5V/2.5A to charge your dash camera.
* **Cable Length:** Generous 3.5 meters (11.5 ft) for flexible installation.
Important Considerations:
* To switch between modes, unplug the OBD adapter, select the desired mode, then reinsert.
* Input Voltage: 13V-36V (ACC mode), 11.6V-36V (Surveillance mode).
* May not be compatible with most Chevy, GM, and some Japanese vehicles due to differing OBD definitions.
* For extended parking without surveillance, it is recommended to use ACC mode to conserve car battery.
