What fuse for Dashcam?

Going to be installing my Thinkware F770 soon and wanted to know what fuse people were using in the trunk. Must be constant power since it will record while the car is off. Thank you!

This is how I have mine wired, the switch (to put it into parking mode) is running of the adaptive suspension.

Fuse 163 (door locks) should be constant on.

I bought a Cellink battery B for my F770.

You don't get the "high battery drain while off error" with this?

I have mine set to cut off at 12.3v plus 12hrs recording and don't get any errors, I can even set it to 24hrs without the warning..

The BMW advanced eye which runs off the battery and has a cut off at 11.8v and will record for 6hrs/12hrs.

This worked great! I wired it up last night but to a fuse that only held power for 20min after the car was off. Once i did this i heard the unit state parking mode enabled.

Thank you!

See how you get on with it, mine switches off as soon as you lock the doors rather than waiting for 20mins (which I prefer)

works perfect, lock the doors and parking recording starts right away

Thank you!
