How many use a dash-cam?

Anyone know where to tap a constant 12V power source when the car is off? I checked under the glovebox and the few 12V sources I found seemed to fluctuate,

Anyone know where to tap a constant 12V power source when the car is off? I checked under the glovebox and the few 12V sources I found seemed to fluctuate, especially under load

I have the following dashcam in my 370Z:
SGZC12SG – PRO SERIES CAMERA | Street Guardian

Currently using the following 256GB SD card:

Recently purchased this to safely run the camera "always on":

I'm in Australia so have a RHD Z. Oh yeah, anyone know how to take the glove box out too? I unscrewed one of the screws and the clip-on nut thing it screws into fell into the footwell so now I can't put it back in -_-

Holy crap that's a big memory card! Does that camera not have away of automatically erasing old videos from the card?

It does but the point is that now I can store days of high-def footage which is perfect since I wanted to wire it to record non-stop.

Anyway, I found where to tap into it. I found the link to a wiring diagram somewhere (think on this forum even?). If anyone wants it, PM me, I've saved it on my OneDrive for perperuity.

OBDII port under steering wheel

Auto-dimming mirror pin 1

Should be one on the head unit too, I can look it up if you need


They will all droop below 10V for a few seconds when cranking the engine, but otherwise should be stable.
