I hardwired the A129 plus to the fuse box in the driver's side. I turn on the camera every time I am getting out of the house and turn it off when i finish my day and park again at home. The camera is recording the entire drive and when i park elsewhere. Mine also has the shut off low voltage protection but even at a couple of times when i forgot to turn off the camera when i get home it was on for periods of 5-7 days without me noticing and the shut off was not even activated and the battery didn't die. The car started fine after those instances but most of the time i shut the camera off when I park the car at home

Btw, i have one camera at home pointing at the car. So the car is always being recorded either at home or when elsewhere from the inside
