Permanent live in fusebox

[Acksaw]

Hi all

Can anyone tell me which fuse is a permanent live on the interior fusebox? I am hardwiring a dashcam which has a permanent and switched wire, I've already found the cigarette lighter for the switched fuse but I want to use the permanent feed as well to record when the car is locked. The camera monitors battery level etc.

Any help predicate

Cheers

Move the cigarette lighter fuse down a position to make it permentantly live.

I actually need both a switched and a live as the camera switches modes when the switched supply goes off to a lower resolution or a timelapse mode depending on what you set and then starts the battery monitoring

Can I just install a fuse into that lower position and keep the switched one active?

Ahhhh! Not sure on that one TBH!

I left the cigarette lighter fuse where it was and used a tap from that for my switched live.
Some of the unused fuse locations have live terminals in them - I found a permanent live which I used as permanent live to support the parking mode of the camera.

There is a spade connector on the fuse board, towards the top left, this is a permanent 12V supply for the likes of dashcams.

Have you got a multimeter you can use to locate perm live?

I found a picture that shows the permanent 12V connector. The red wire in the picture below is connected to the permanent 12V supply.
