Nextbase Nextbase Hardwire Kit DC Adapter

The Nextbase Dash Cam Hardwire Kit is a DC adapter designed to provide a permanent power supply to compatible Nextbase dash cameras by connecting directly to the vehicle fuse box. The kit includes components for piggybacking from either standard ATO/C or smaller ATM (mini) fuses, a 90° connector for easier routing, an LED indicator to show when power is present, and a 5 m cable for flexible placement. This hardwire solution removes the need to use the 12V outlet (cigarette socket) and supports a neat, fixed installation.

Advantages

The hardwire kit offers a clean, permanent power connection that reduces cable clutter and prevents accidental disconnection from the 12V outlet. The included 90° connector simplifies installation in tight spaces, and the LED indicator provides a clear visual confirmation of power status. Compatibility with both ATO/C and ATM (mini) fuse types increases fitting options across different vehicle models.

Suitable for

• Hardwiring Nextbase dash cams to a vehicle’s fuse box
• Permanent dash cam installations where the 12V outlet is not suitable
• Installing dash cams in vehicles with ATO/C or ATM (mini) fuses
• Professional and DIY vehicle wiring projects requiring a 5 m cable reach

How to use

Locate a suitable fuse in the vehicle fuse box and use the piggyback adaptor included in the kit to tap power from either an ATO/C or ATM (mini) fuse. Route the 5 m cable from the fuse box to the dash cam, using the 90° connector where needed to achieve a tidy connection. Ensure the LED indicator illuminates to confirm the dash cam is receiving power. Secure any loose cable with clips or ties and replace the fuse box cover once installation is complete.

Recommendations

When installing, switch off the vehicle battery or follow the vehicle manufacturer’s safety procedures for working with the fuse box. Use an appropriate fuse tap location that does not interfere with essential vehicle circuits and choose a constant or switched power source according to the dash cam’s power requirements and parking mode settings.
