For drivers seeking continuous security and surveillance, even when their vehicle is parked, the Garmin OBD2 Constant Power Cable emerges as an indispensable accessory. This innovative cable taps into your car’s OBD-II diagnostic port, ensuring your Garmin dash cam remains powered at all times, effectively transforming it into a vigilant sentry for your vehicle, day and night.
Dual Dashcam Support for Comprehensive Coverage
Maximize your protection by connecting not just one, but two Garmin dash cams to this power cable’s dual USB ports. Imagine the peace of mind with a Garmin Dash Cam 57 capturing crystal-clear front views and a Garmin Dash Cam Mini 2 keeping a watchful eye on the rear. This dual setup guarantees comprehensive video recording, covering blind spots and providing irrefutable evidence should any incident occur.
Tailor-Made Power Modes to Suit Your Needs
The Garmin OBD2 Constant Power Cable isn’t just about constant power; it’s about smart power management. Featuring an adjustable time switch, it offers three distinct power modes, allowing you to customize its operation to your specific requirements:
- 10 Minute Mode: Ideal for short stops, this mode keeps your dash cam running for 10 minutes after you switch off the engine. It then intelligently powers down, automatically reactivating when you next start your vehicle.
- 24 Hour Mode: For extended parking surveillance, select the 24-hour mode. Your dash cam will remain active for a full 24 hours after parking. Crucially, integrated low battery detection safeguards your vehicle’s battery, automatically shutting down the dash cam if the voltage drops below 12V, preventing a dead battery.
- Always On Mode: For round-the-clock vigilance, the “Always On” mode ensures your Garmin dash cam is continuously powered. Similar to the 24-hour mode, it incorporates low battery protection, deactivating only if the vehicle battery voltage falls below the 12V safety threshold.
The intelligent built-in timer automatically resets upon detecting motion, impact, door opening, or engine start, ensuring continuous and relevant recording.
Intelligent Low Battery Protection
Concerned about battery drain? The Garmin OBD2 Constant Power Cable prioritizes your vehicle’s battery health. Its smart low battery protection feature automatically shuts down power within 10 minutes if it detects a voltage drop below 12.0V, guaranteeing you won’t return to a flat battery. This feature makes it a reliable Garmin Obd2 Sensor of your vehicle’s power status in relation to your dashcam operation.
Instant Status Updates with Red LED Indicator
Stay informed about your power cable’s operation at a glance with the integrated red status LED. This indicator provides immediate feedback:
- Solid Red: Indicates the cable is actively powering connected devices.
- Flashing Red: Signals that the preset timer has expired, and power is no longer being supplied.
- Off: Alerts you to a low voltage situation (below 12V), indicating the low battery protection is active to safeguard your vehicle battery.
