Blackvue DR380G HD

Hi Guys, I am not an electrician but not silly either , anyway I want to wire this camera from the lighting controller in front of the screen.
Anyone know how to do this please.
How to open the light control cover /is there enough power from there or not?.

Camera here: http://www.blackvue.eu/Blackvue_DR380G.php

Where is the fuse box and which fuse would I need to use please (if I have to go that route)

Thanks in advance

OP:

You know there is a power 12-V outlet on the passenger side (in the ceiling of the section where the feet are). Why no run the power cord for the Blackvue all the down to it? Unless it's already in use for something else...


Instead of that model, I suggest go for the DR500GW-HD: WiFi + GPS + accelerometer built-in, shoots 1080 30fps 11-bit rate footage with a CMOS 2MP Sony sensor.

I am a US distributor for the Blackvue products line, contact if you have questions/ want one.

Will have their 2-ch model next month: same as DR500GW + a rear module so you can get front + back footage.
