The Hardwire Kit With the Most Control. Vantrue VP01 pairs five voltage cut-offs with a parking timer

Park at the station, head to work, and stop wondering whether the car will start at five. The Vantrue VP01 feeds your dash cam clean 5V from the fuse box and switches to Parking Mode the moment you turn the key off. Whichever comes first, your chosen timer or your chosen voltage threshold, the kit cuts power and leaves enough in the battery to crank. Of the three Vantrue kits we stock, this is the one to buy if you want to tune that behaviour precisely.

Trusted Aussie store: We're an authorised AU reseller, shipping from Melbourne within 24 hours*. You get a 12-month warranty on this accessory, local technical support, and our 30-Day No-Worries returns.

Who This Isn't For: This is USB-C only, so older mini-USB Vantrue cameras will not work with it. If you would rather not touch the fuse box at all, the VP04 OBD cable plugs straight into the OBD port with no tools. If you want a simpler fuse-tap kit with a live voltage readout and do not need a timer, look at the VP05.

DCG Score & Highlights

What We Love

  • Five low-voltage cut-off levels, the finest control of any Vantrue kit we stock
  • Parking timer from 2 to 24 hours, or always-on, working alongside the voltage cut-off
  • ACC lead switches the camera to Parking Mode automatically at ignition off
  • Works across 12V and 24V systems, from hatches through to light trucks
  • USB-C output keeps the cigarette socket free for phone charging
  • Add-a-fuse taps, fuses and cable ties included for a tidy DIY install

What Could Be Better

  • The control module is bulkier than a simple two-level kit, so plan where it will sit.
  • Changing the timer or voltage means physically reaching the DIP switches, so mount it somewhere you can get to.
  • It needs a fuse-tap install. If that is not for you, the VP04 OBD cable does the same job with no tools.

Why Battery-Safe Parking Matters

Parking Mode is only useful if the car starts afterwards. A dash cam drawing power from a stationary vehicle will flatten a tired battery overnight if nothing stops it. Adjustable cut-offs and a flexible timer let you match watch-time to your battery's health, your climate and your commute, which is the difference between useful parked coverage and a call to roadside assist.

Top Benefits

  • Precise battery protection: Five cut-off voltages across 12V and 24V systems so your starter keeps what it needs.
  • Time limits as well: Set 2, 4, 6, 12 or 24 hours, and the kit stops on whichever limit is reached first.
  • Hands-off switching: The ACC link moves your camera from driving to Parking Mode automatically at shutdown.
  • Clean, reversible install: Three-lead harness with add-a-fuse taps, so no factory wiring is cut.
  • Modern power delivery: USB-C output for compatible Vantrue models and other Type-C dash cams.

FAQ

  • Q: Does the timer or the voltage cut-off stop power first?A: Whichever is reached first. When the timer expires or the set voltage is hit, the kit cuts power.
  • Q: Which Vantrue cameras are compatible?A: USB-C models including N4S, N4 Pro S, N5S, N5, N4 Pro, N4, E1, E2, E3, S2, N2S and X4S. It will not work with older non-USB-C variants. Message us if your model is not on that list.
  • Q: Will this drain my battery?A: Not if it is set correctly. Choose a cut-off that suits your battery's age and your climate. Higher cut-offs give more protection for older batteries.
  • Q: Is it hard to install?A: Most confident DIYers manage it with a fuse puller and a multimeter. Red goes to constant BATT+, yellow to ACC/switched, black to a solid earth. Mount the module where you can still reach the DIP switches.
  • Q: How is this different from the VP05 and VP04?A: The VP01 has the most control: five voltage levels plus a timer. The VP05 is a simpler fuse-tap kit with three levels and a live voltage display. The VP04 skips the fuse box entirely and plugs into the OBD port.
