I contacted Iiwey (or whatever they are called) and they replied that fuses have got nothing to do with the battery drainage, so if they are correct, it seems that the device doesn't protect the voltage at all.

Regarding the fuse box in the boot, I've got a feeling that perhaps somebody replaced it in the past, hence there are two fuses which shouldn't be there
Normal incandescent filament lamps should pull enough power (VA) to trigger the camera so

is only protecting the camera and the camera battery which continues to draw current to maintain the charge in the camera's battery until the car battery pd drops < 11.4+/-1.14V - 10% variation is usually spec'd- it does not protect the car battery - the piggy back is just the means to connect to the ign guarded or constant supply.
