Why Hardwire

Why Hardwire Your Dash Cam?

Most dash cams plug into the 12V socket, which means they switch off the moment you turn off the engine. That leaves your car unprotected for the hours it spends parked on the street, in a car park or on your drive, which is exactly when hit-and-runs, scrapes and break-ins happen. A dash cam hardwire kit connects your camera directly to your vehicle's power, so it stays ready to record 24/7.

Round-the-clock protection with parking mode

Hardwiring unlocks your Road Angel Halo dash cam's parking mode. If someone bumps your car or tries to break in while you're away, your dash cam records the evidence, so you're not left out of pocket for damage you didn't cause.

Peace of mind for your battery

The HWK5VC-OBD has built-in battery protection that cuts power to the dash cam if your battery drops to 11.8V, so you'll never come back to a car that won't start. Electric and hybrid vehicles can operate differently, so please also check your settings in the Road Angel app.

Ready for British winters

Hardwiring also activates Winter Mode on your dash cam, stopping snow and ice building up in front of the lens while you're parked, so it's ready to record on frosty mornings.

Two ways to fit, one kit

Fit directly to your fuse box with the included fuse taps for the best results and every feature working, or plug into your OBD2 port for a quicker, easier install. Either way, the 4m USB-C cable tucks neatly behind your trim for a clean, factory-style finish, and your 12V socket stays free for charging your phone.

Made for Road Angel Halo dash cams

Designed for the Road Angel Halo Go 2, Halo Drive 2, Halo Start 2, Halo Ignite 2, Halo Vision 3, Halo Elite, Halo Play, Halo Guard, Halo Ultima, Halo Guardian, Halo Edge and Halo Spark / Spark Dual. It works in petrol, diesel, electric and hybrid cars, as well as vans and motorhomes. Got a Halo Pro or Halo Pro 2? Choose the HWK12VC-OBD 12V kit. Prefer not to fit it yourself? Our nationwide mobile installation service can do it for you.

Customer Reviews

Frequently Asked Questions

Will hardwiring drain my car battery?

No. Battery protection is built in: the kit monitors your battery voltage and cuts power to the dash cam at 11.8V, leaving enough charge to start your vehicle. For electric and hybrid vehicles, please also check your settings in the Road Angel app, as these vehicles can operate differently.

Should I fit it to the fuse box or use the OBD2 adapter?

You get both options in one pack. For the best results, fit it directly to your fuse box using the included fuse taps: it gives a hidden, permanent install and gets all of your dash cam's features working. For a quicker and easier option, plug the OBD2 adapter into your vehicle's OBD2 port instead, with no fuse box work needed.

Can I fit it myself?

Yes. Most drivers fit it themselves, and with the OBD2 adapter setup takes minutes. The install is minimally invasive and easy to remove. Prefer not to? Our nationwide mobile installation service can fit it for you. For complex vehicles, consult an auto-electrician and follow the manufacturer's guidelines.

Which dash cams is the HWK5VC-OBD compatible with?

Halo Go 2, Halo Drive 2, Halo Start 2, Halo Ignite 2, Halo Vision 3, Halo Elite, Halo Play, Halo Guard, Halo Ultima, Halo Guardian, Halo Edge, Halo Spark / Spark Dual. For the Halo Pro or Halo Pro 2, choose the HWK12VC-OBD 12V kit.

Does it work with electric and hybrid vehicles?

Yes. It works with petrol, diesel, electric and hybrid vehicles, plus vans, motorhomes and trucks on 12V or 24V systems. Battery protection is built in, but EVs and hybrids can operate differently, so please also check your settings in the Road Angel app.

Does it help in winter?

Yes. Hardwiring activates Winter Mode on your dash cam, which stops snow and ice building up in front of the camera while you're parked, so it's ready to record on cold UK mornings.

Will it interfere with my radio?

The included ferrite core noise suppressor helps prevent the DAB and FM interference that some hardwired dash cams can cause.

When does parking mode start?

Parking mode starts automatically 5–15 minutes after you switch off, depending on your dash cam. Check your camera's manual for the parking modes it supports.
