Took me a while to get back to it, but got it done! Broke my little plastic jimmying tool but luckily I was near the end. Rear cam install is a bit of a pain as the sticker they provide doesn't stick to the windscreen at all...will get some double sided tape and put it on properly. Then all should be well.

Great video especially the hardwire. 👍 Good tip I found was to actually use the screen when choosing where's best to position the rear view camera. So you actually plug power & rear camera in & hold the monitor in your hand. Position the rear view roughly where you think it needs to be & then adjust it looking at the "live feed" on the monitor. Then fix in place & put the main screen/camera back into its designated position on the front screen. 👍

It's an excellent DashCam. In my van, I have the Orskey CameraCore S680 without the rear camera, as I couldn't be bothered with all the faff of the extra wiring. Great video, very easy to follow. The only thing that bugs me with the camera, is no quick release mount like the Nextbase in my wife's car, you end up just pulling the whole mount off, as unscrewing it isn't possible due to the angle of the window.

I was sceptical when my son bought this and asked me to fit it for him but like you say, it is very good. A quick release mechanism would be nice but I suppose Orskey are trying to keep the price down in a very competitive market.

You should be OK using your spare USB port as a power supply if it switches on/off with the ignition (most do). There's no risk of draining the battery if you hard wire the camera to a switched fuse such as the 12V cigarette lighter. This link explains the difference between switched and constant fuses www.thedashcamstore.com/how-to-identify-constant-and-switched-fuses/

Thank you for the video. I got a gift of an S680 for Christmas to go into my brand new electric car (replacing a 16 year old, slowly dying, petrol model.) Picked up my car a couple of weeks ago and I’m finally looking to install the dash cam. The enclosed instructions are not the easiest to follow and I was beginning to despair that I’d be able to do it. I wish companies like this would maybe do colour photos showing step by step directions, or a link to a KZread video showing what to do. You have filled that gap. My only question is whether the automatic switching on function will still work in an electric car. Will the dash cam still sense that the car is on? Thanks again.

Most of these low cost dash cams are very similar so I would expect that the red wire to the rear view camera should be connected to the reversing light feed. Your user manual should confirm this.

Hi again, quick question as my knowledge is poor and you may know an answer (possibly) :) Yesterday I installed the camera hardwired with a kit with the two fuses into the connector and put into the original cigarette lighter fuse slot. As soon as the ignition is on the dashcam starts as expected and all is good…. However the cigarette lighter no longer works. If I put the cig lighter fuse on its own in then it works. If I put it into one position in the connector (with the two slots) then the cigarette lighter works but the dashcam doesn’t and vice versa. Am I missing something or is the connector possibly faulty etc any ideas :) ? Thanks in advance.
