Miofive Upgraded Dash Cam Hardwire Kit | 11.5ft USB Type-C Port | for S1 Series Dash Cam | 24-Hour Parking Monitoring | Low Voltage Protection | Check Compatibility Image Before Purchasing

This hardwire kit does exactly what it is meant to do. Once installed, it allows the dash cam to automatically switch to parking mode when the engine is off and return to standard recording when driving. The voltage cut-off feature is reassuring and gives peace of mind that the car battery will not be drained. Installation was pretty straightforward if you are comfortable with basic car electrics. The instructions are clear, and the cable length is more than enough to route neatly around the trim. After fitting, everything worked the first time with no errors or connection issues. It feels well-made and reliable, and it integrates seamlessly with the Miofive dash cams. Overall, a solid and worthwhile addition if you want full-time protection without risking your battery.

A good complete wiring kit for the Miofive S1 S1Pro/S1 Ultra. In addition to the kit I needed some cable ties and electrical tape to secure and mount the voltage monitor/switch off unit and excess cable. Tools I required were the (included) trim tool, long cable ties (for cable routing), some tape (to secure the USB cable to the cable tie during routing, a socket, ratchet and extension bar (to secure the earth lead fitting to an earthing point bolt) and pliers to cut the cable tie excess. A voltmeter or circuit tester is essential. To fit the kit you need to find two distinctly different fuseways in your fusebox. An ‘always on fuseway’ and a key switched one that only activates when the vehicle is switched on. These don’t need to be empty – the ‘piggyback’ connectors supplied can work on both empty and occupied fuseways. It is critical to find which of the 2 pins in the fuseway are live and to fit the leads so the tail is on the ‘dead’ pin, otherwise the fuse(s) won’t function. The included manual is well illustrated on this. The most difficult part of the fitting was identifying the switched fuseways. On some cars (mine included) the switched fuseways remain live for some time after the key is removed. And something like activating a seat pressure sensor can reactivate them. The solution was to leave the car for 30 minutes, everything off, key out with the back door unclosed. The rest of the fitting was quick and easy.

Does what is says on the tin, works fine.

I bought this alongside a Miofive S1 dash cam. Clearly it's compatible, and once I managed to get it installed, it has worked just fine. Getting to that point was more hassle than I'd expected, because the instructions were poorly translated. It wasn't clear which of the wires was supposed to be permanently powered and which was switched, and there was no advice on how to find the right fuse to replace. If you're installing this yourself, find advice online that's specific to your car. On the plus side, the cable length is generous without being impractical and the fact that adapters for multiple fuse sizes are included by default.

This is an excellent addition to the Miofive pro dashcam to give some added functionality to the system. The kit comes with 4 different sizes of blade fuse adapters allowing connection to constant 12v and accessory 12v. This allows the camera to turn on and off for normal driving with the ignition, but also allows power to the camera when parked so the parking monitoring system still protects your vehicle. The instructions are adequate and should be followed if you use a circuit that is in use as you will need to have the fuses in the correct positions to protect your devices properly. The cable length is more than adequate to go from passenger or driver side fuseboxes to the centrally mounted position of the camera. This is the usb C model so always ensure this is the correct model for your camera.
