I spliced mine into the radio loom so it's only powered when I start the car and turns off when it's off.

Much safer way of doing things!

I might put it back???

Spliced mine to 12V in the headlight connector. Also thought it would be great to have 24/7 surveillance, but that bugger can draw up to 700 mA, so high chance I'd have to take the bus way more often than I'd like.

Druid, so you being public spirited and getting the area cleaned of dog's cr*p, nearly landed you in the stuff.

On another point, once the local scrotes realise the camera is rolling, do they not act up to the camera and star in their own porn movie.

Its going back to only when the car is on but nobody need to know. 2 homes looking onto our green have camera surveillance anyway.
