in continuously while driving; doing so will not harm TODC

run the power cord around the trim of your vehicle so that it will
not obstruct your view while driving.

off varies from vehicle to vehicle. If your vehicle’s 12v outlet remains active
when the vehicle is off, it is recommended to power off or unplug your Dash
Cam to power it down before leaving the vehicle.

from outside the vehicle. Alternatively the battery can be used to playback
video instantly on the device.
