Powering your BlackVue dashcam for parking mode just got easier with the Blackvue Two Directions OBD2, also known as Power Magic EZ. If you’re looking to simplify the setup of your BlackVue dashcam and enable parking mode without the hassle of fuse box wiring, this OBD2 power adapter is designed for you. Forget about complicated fuse tapping; the Power Magic EZ offers a plug-and-play solution directly into your vehicle’s OBD (On-Board Diagnostic) port.
This ingenious device ensures your BlackVue dashcam receives continuous power, both when your car is running and parked. This “two directions” power capability is crucial for engaging parking mode, allowing your dashcam to monitor and record events even after you’ve turned off the engine. The Power Magic EZ intelligently manages your vehicle’s battery, preventing discharge while in parking mode.
Similar to the Power Magic Pro, the Power Magic EZ incorporates essential safety features. It actively monitors your car battery’s voltage and will automatically cut off power to your dashcam if the battery level drops to a predetermined safe threshold. This prevents a dead battery situation, ensuring you can always start your vehicle. Furthermore, it has a built-in timer for power cut-off, adjustable from 6 hours to infinity, giving you control over parking mode duration.
The Power Magic EZ also includes a convenient override switch. This switch allows you to quickly disable parking mode when needed, for example, if you are parking in a safe location like your home garage for an extended period and wish to conserve power or prevent unnecessary recording. Importantly, regardless of the switch position, your dashcam will always power on and record when the engine is running, ensuring continuous recording during drives.
