Dash Cam installation on Hyundai Palisade with Eco Powerpack 28C. Solves parking recording issues and protects your car battery.
Solving Parking Recording Issues for Your Hyundai Palisade
Owners of the new Hyundai Palisade often face a common problem: dash cam recording stops during parking. This issue is exacerbated in colder weather, leading to battery drain and the risk of missing crucial footage. In severe cases, a depleted main battery can even prevent the car from starting. To address these concerns, Today's Car Incheon performed a specialized dash cam auxiliary battery installation for a Palisade owner.
The client sought a solution for continuous parking recording without compromising the vehicle's primary battery. The chosen solution was the Eco Powerpack 28C, an auxiliary battery designed specifically for dash cams. This system ensures uninterrupted recording while safeguarding the vehicle's electrical system.
Understanding Dash Cam Auxiliary Batteries
A dash cam auxiliary battery operates independently of the vehicle's main battery. When the engine is running, it charges in parallel with the main battery. Once the engine is turned off, the auxiliary battery takes over, powering the dash cam. This setup prevents the vehicle's main battery from being drained, allowing for 24/7 dash cam operation.
Hyundai Palisade Dash Cam Auxiliary Battery Installation Process
Installation Process:
- Main Battery Connection: The auxiliary battery is connected to the vehicle's positive terminal via an ANS fuse. This fuse acts as a safety device, automatically cutting power if abnormal voltage is detected, protecting both the auxiliary battery and the vehicle's electronics.
- ACC Fuse Line Integration: A dual fuse is connected to the ACC (Accessory) fuse line. This ensures the auxiliary battery charges only when the engine is on. The dual fuse provides redundant protection against overcurrent. During engine operation, the system maintains a stable voltage between 13V and 14V.
- Wiring and Battery Securing: All wiring is treated with sound-dampening material to prevent rattling and noise during driving. Wires are then neatly routed and concealed along door frames and under the seat base to maintain a clean interior aesthetic. The Eco Powerpack unit is securely fastened under the driver's seat using heavy-duty Velcro, allowing for easy removal if maintenance is needed.
- Dash Cam Connection and Settings: The dash cam is connected directly to the auxiliary battery's output. This ensures power delivery during parking. The dash cam's settings are then adjusted to 'Use Auxiliary Battery' mode, enabling automatic activation of parking recording when the engine is off.
- System Test: A final test is conducted to verify that the parking recording function engages correctly after the engine is turned off.
This comprehensive installation ensures that your Hyundai Palisade's dash cam will reliably record footage even when the vehicle is parked, providing peace of mind and protecting against potential incidents.
