Question XC60 2018 Model DashCam Fuse Connections

I want to fit my Road Angel Halo dashcam to my 2018 model XC60 but it needs two power connections; one for live 12v and one for accessory controlled 12v.
The permanent 12v is for when the car is parked so that the camera will activate if the car is bumped when unoccupied.
I have succeeded in connecting the accessory power lead, using a bridging fuse holder to the fuse box in the passenger foot well (left side in UK). I cannot see which fuse to use for the live 12v connection.
Can anyone help, please?

An alternative (especially for dash cams with only one 12 volt supply) is to use a 5 volt usb power bank that charges as you drive and powers the dash cam when engine switched off. Most dash cams are 5 volt fed from the 12 volt power supply/adapter.
You can buy a 12 volt socket to run from your piggy back fuse to plug it in to and have it all hidden instead of using the 12 volt socket in the console.
Edit, ignore picture, downloaded wrong one.

Hi RoyGG; did you manage to complete this set up? I have a 2018 xc60 as well so I am curious what fuse you used for the permanent live feed and which fuse box?
