Fuse Question

[D.J.]

I use this 10A

why you need over 15A?

My dashcam (typical dashcam - A119 V2, from 2016) - draws about 0.4A @ 5V (closer to 0.17A at 12V) - it's very insignificant from a current draw perspective

Use a power detector to detect the constant power and ACC power (emergency power). *note:Use an ACC power supply of 15A to 25A. Use a constant power supply below 30A.4. Connect the yellow fuse to the constant power source, the red fuse to the ACC power source,and the ground terminal (black wire) to the metal part of the body.

These are the instructions with my cam
