Piggy back it first to 12v accessory fuse but I think its live because when I locked my XC60 and came back after 30 minutes, looked in to the car, obviously without unlocking it, the cam was still recording. So I hook it to door lights fuse instead and all is good. 2amps is recommended for dashcam but cant find a 2amp micro2 fuse. So Im using a 5amp for it.
My cam is next to the IS module. I have been using it for over a year now and can confirm that city safety/ autobraking works just fine. So I assume that other safety measures still function and dash cam does not interfere with it.

Hi there. New to Volvo and new to this thread. Have purchased a Nextbase 522 and it appears that in the male part of the cigar socket supplied is a 2 amp fuse. So I am guessing that if I hardwired my camera into the fuse box it would be protected by the 5 amp fuse plus it’s own 2 amp fuse.
Most interesting thread. Thanks to all for insights.
