Before proceeding, review the wiring diagram above. It illustrates the connections for the ACC (Accessory), BATT (Battery), and Earth (Ground) wires.
4.2 Installation Steps
Image 4.2: Visual guide for installing the hardwire kit into a vehicle's fuse box.
- Step 1: Identify Fuse Slots. Use a multimeter to locate a constant power fuse slot (BATT) and an ACC power fuse slot in your vehicle's fuse box. The constant power slot provides power even when the engine is off, while the ACC slot is only powered when the engine key is turned to ACC or ON.
- Step 2: Connect ACC Wire. Connect the red wire (ACC) from the hardwire kit to the identified ACC fuse slot. This ensures the dash cam powers on and off with your vehicle.
- Step 3: Connect BATT Wire. Connect the yellow wire (BATT) from the hardwire kit to the identified constant power fuse slot. This provides continuous power for parking monitoring features.
- Step 4: Connect Earth Wire. Crimp the black wire (Earth/GND) to any non-coated metal bolt or screw in your vehicle's chassis to establish a secure ground connection.
- Step 5: Connect to Dash Cam. Connect the Type-C interface of the hardwire kit to your compatible JOMISE dash camera.
- Step 6: Route Cables. Carefully route all cables to ensure they do not interfere with driving controls or airbags. Secure them using cable clips or ties.
- Step 7: Reconnect Battery. Once all connections are secure, reconnect the negative terminal of your car battery.
- Step 8: Test Functionality. Start your vehicle and verify that the dash cam powers on. Turn off the vehicle and check if the parking monitor or time-lapse recording functions activate as expected.

5. Operation
The JOMISE Hardwire Kit enables advanced recording features for your compatible dash camera.
5.1 24-Hour Parking Monitor & Time-Lapse Recording
Once correctly installed, the hardwire kit provides continuous power to your dash cam, allowing it to operate even when the vehicle is parked and the engine is off. This enables:
- 24-Hour Parking Monitoring: The dash cam can detect impacts or motion (depending on dash cam model features) and automatically record incidents while parked.
- Time-Lapse Recording: Some dash cam models support time-lapse recording in parking mode, compressing long periods into short videos, saving storage space and making review easier.

Refer to your specific JOMISE dash camera's manual for detailed instructions on how to activate and configure parking monitoring and time-lapse recording settings.
6. Maintenance
The JOMISE Hardwire Kit requires minimal maintenance. Follow these guidelines to ensure longevity:
- Periodically check all wiring connections to ensure they remain secure.
- Inspect cables for any signs of wear, fraying, or damage. Replace if necessary.
- Keep the hardwire kit module clean and free from dust or debris.
- Ensure the fuse box cover is properly reinstalled after installation to protect the fuses from moisture and dirt.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your JOMISE Hardwire Kit, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Dash cam does not power on with engine. | Incorrect ACC wire connection or blown fuse. | Check the red (ACC) wire connection to the fuse box. Verify the fuse in the ACC slot is not blown. |
| Parking monitor not working. | Incorrect BATT wire connection, blown fuse, or dash cam settings. | Check the yellow (BATT) wire connection to the constant power fuse slot. Verify the fuse is not blown. Ensure parking mode is enabled in your dash cam's settings. |
| Dash cam powers off immediately after engine is off. | BATT wire not connected to a constant power source. | Re-check the yellow (BATT) wire connection to ensure it is connected to a fuse slot that provides continuous power (12V) even when the ignition is off. |
| Dash cam randomly restarts or loses power. | Loose connections or insufficient grounding. | Inspect all wire connections (ACC, BATT, Earth) for looseness. Ensure the black (Earth) wire has a solid connection to the vehicle's chassis. |
If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, please contact JOMISE customer support.
