What is the power supply voltage for a dash cam?
1 Answers
The voltage of a dash cam is generally 5 volts, while the output voltage of all ports in a car is 12 volts DC. If a 5-volt dash cam is connected to a 12-volt power supply, it may burn out the dash cam. However, under normal circumstances, a dash cam can be used with a voltage reducer cable or the cigarette lighter port. Both the voltage reducer cable and the cigarette lighter port have voltage conversion functions. Therefore, connecting a 5-volt dash cam to a 12-volt power supply via the cigarette lighter port or using a voltage reducer cable will allow it to function normally without any issues.
