This document describes the Rexing Intelligent Hardwire Kit, a device designed to provide continuous power to a dash cam, enabling parking monitor features without draining the vehicle's battery.

Function Description

The Rexing Intelligent Hardwire Kit is an accessory for dash cams that allows for continuous power supply, even when the vehicle's ignition is off. It integrates a motion sensor to activate dash cam recording when motion is detected around the parked vehicle. This kit overrides the dash cam's internal parking monitor function, taking over the responsibility of initiating recordings based on motion detection. The system ensures that the dash cam only records when necessary, conserving power and preventing battery drain.

Important Technical Specifications

The kit includes:

Motion Sensor: Detects movement to trigger dash cam recording. It has a "Motion Sensor Indicator" and a "Motion Sensor On/Off Button."
Smart Hardwire Kit: This is the core power management unit.
Mini-USB to Mini-USB Cable: Connects the motion sensor to the dash cam.
User Manual: Provides instructions for installation and usage.

The hardwire kit features specific cables for connection to the vehicle's fuse box:

Power Cable: The main power input.
Ground Cable: Connects to a bolt near the fuse box for grounding.
Hot Fuse Cable (Yellow): Connects to a fuse that has power at all times (constant power).
Switched Fuse Cable (Red): Connects to a fuse that only has power when the car's ignition is on (switched power).

The motion sensor unit has:

Power Switch: To turn the motion sensor on or off.
Power Indicator: Shows the operational status of the device.
Mini-USB Port for dash cam connection: Output to the dash cam.
Mini-USB Port for fuse box connection: Input from the hardwire kit.

The device is certified with FC, ROHS, and CE markings, indicating compliance with relevant safety and environmental standards.

Usage Features

The Intelligent Hardwire Kit enables the following usage features:

Continuous Power Supply: Provides constant power to the dash cam, allowing it to operate even when the vehicle is off.
Motion-Activated Recording: The integrated motion sensor automatically triggers dash cam recording when movement is detected around the parked vehicle. This is indicated by a blue light on the motion sensor.
Battery Protection: By connecting to both switched and constant power sources, the kit is designed to prevent the vehicle's battery from being drained. The dash cam will power up and record only when motion is detected, and stop once the motion clears.
Override of Dash Cam Parking Monitor: Users are explicitly instructed not to enable the parking monitor function in their dash cam's settings once this hardwire kit is connected, as the kit's motion sensor will manage this feature.
Easy Installation: The manual provides a step-by-step guide for installation, including placing the motion sensor, connecting cables, and wiring to the fuse box.
