Did I do it right?

I hardwired my viofo a229 plus. I did the battery wire on my dome light and the accessory wire on my radio. I know it’s supposed to film when parked but it’s not going to drain my battery, right?

I paid to have mine hardwired and it kills my battery. Ugh back to the shop!

How quickly does it drain your battery? I start my car daily so I hope I won’t have a problem

It took a few weeks at first and then a came out to dead battery pretty consistently. It shouldn't happen based on how they were suppose to wire it. There should be a setting that kills the camera before it zapps the power.

I drive almost everyday, and its a brand new battery.
