Setup and Installation
The hardwire kit provides a simple three-step installation process to integrate your dash cam with your vehicle's power system for continuous operation and parking monitoring.

Use a multimeter to check for a 12V constant power source and the ACC power in your car's fuse box. - Step 2: Set up the Wires
Connect the Yellow Wire (ACC) to the ACC power source, the Red Wire (VCC+) to constant power, and the Black Wire (GND-) to a grounding point. - Step 3: Connect the Dash Cam
Attach the kit's Type-C connector to your Botslab dash cam (G300H Plus & G980H Series).
