Had a similar discussion with some team mates this week. Wanted to use his OBD port to pull power for a dashcam set up. We collectively agreed in the end that the parastatic loss over time was not a beneficial practice.
So he's going to hard wire from an IGN hot power source
Hmm, anyone could walk by and open the hood. That is when the dashcam with the park feature comes in handy.
If it fell off, it might be lodged down in there.
Installed a Rydeen Tombo 360x dashcam. The screen is a rear view mirror replacement and has the front camera integrated. Also has gps, proximity sensor, etc. I think I’ll like it. It was recommended by my local car audio guy as they have great product support and the rear camera is exterior...
I've been using this one for over a year. I've been happy with it and it's on sale.

I second BlackVue... I've had 5 Blackvue 2-channel cameras (front and rear) over a span of 10 years on 5 cars and I love them. My latest is this one for my Gladiator:

I’m looking for advice on dashcams for the gladiator. As I have a soft topper, by rear windshield is essentially unusable for a rear camera. I’m looking to see if anyone has positive experience with a setup that allows recording when driving, and parked, with a camera that I could...
I went with the obd2 port type. No wiring of any kind. It took just a few minutes to tuck the wire away. Either of the items you and Sharpsickle list will work fine, jus a bit more work.
I tried to order this, but I think there is something wrong with their website (it wouldn't let me past checkout to pay for it). Anyway, I also found this on eBay, which sounds like it works about the same:

I use an obd2 plug for my dashcam. Powered all of the time or just when the ignition is on. When I park in public, I leave it powered on. My camera has a G sensor to turn on if the Jeep is disturbed.
Four days is a long time to sit even without a dashcam powered on all of the time. After...

I put in the Wolfbox G900 on my 2020 Gladiator Sport. I had the problem with the visors when it was attached to the mirror. I saw that 67 Designs had a mirror holder for that G900. I have been using the 67 Designs for my phone mount, GoPro mount and ipad holder. I used the Ipad holder to see if...
I've tried to search for this topic, but either couldn't figure out the right wording or just couldn't find anything.
I want to add a dashcamera (preferably 4k front with a rear camera), but because I also really like running without my doors, I'd like to get a Wolfbox (or similar brand)...
Hi folks. Want a dashcam for the Gladiator. My issue is we have both hard and soft tops. Hard top mounting a rear cam is easy. But how does one mount the rear cam on a soft top? Thanks for any advice
I can't figure this out. Anyone want to suggest which fuse hole would be good for powering a dashcam with the ignition only?
I know very little about electrical stuff, so any help is appreciated.
