Message us on WhatsAppHardwired vs cigarette lighter dash cam: which is better for your car?
LockCAR makes 4G dashcams and immobilisers in the UK and has them hardwired by approved installers. Below we compare a dash cam plugged into the 12 V socket with one wired into the fuse box, so UK drivers can see which suits their driving, parking and budget.

Plug-in or hardwired: the differences side by side: Hardwired vs Cigarette Lighter Dash Cam
Both kinds record while you drive. The real differences show up when the car is parked and when you look at the windscreen.
| Power option | Records when parked | Cable on show | 12 V socket free | Who fits it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Plug in the cigarette lighter socket | No, in most cars the socket switches off with the ignition | Yes, a lead to the socket | No | You, in minutes |
| DIY hardwiring kit | Yes, if wired to the right circuit | Usually hidden | Yes | You, if confident with a fuse box |
| Professional hardwiring | Yes, from a permanent live feed | Hidden behind trim | Yes | An approved installer |
What a professional hardwired fitting involves
A neat fitting takes planning, because the camera has to know when the car is parked as well as when it is driving.
Find the right two circuits
The installer connects to a permanent live feed, which powers parking recording, and a switched live feed, which tells the camera when the ignition is on.
Hide the cable
The lead runs up the A-pillar and under the headlining to the camera behind the mirror, so nothing crosses the windscreen.
Test both modes
Driving and parking recording are checked before the car is handed back, along with the immobiliser that comes in every LockCAR system.
When a plug-in dash cam is still the sensible choice
A socket camera is not a bad buy. It just does a smaller job.
A plug-in camera works well if you
- Drive a hire or pool car and move the camera between cars
- Only want driving footage for the odd long trip
- Are on a tight budget and happy to fit it yourself
- Do not need recording while the car is parked
Its limits
- No recording once the ignition is off in most cars
- A visible lead across the dashboard
- The plug can work loose and leave gaps in footage
- The 12 V socket is taken up
- A thief can unplug it in a second
Why every LockCAR camera is hardwired
- It watches the car when you are not thereParking recording picks up car park knocks, hit and runs and anyone tampering with the car overnight.
- The immobiliser is wired in anywayOur camera and immobiliser share one system, so a single hardwired fitting covers both.
- Nothing for a thief to pull outWith no plug in the socket, there is no quick way to switch the camera off.
- A cleaner windscreenNo trailing lead means a clear view and an easier time keeping the camera in a legal position.

Hardwiring questions from UK drivers
Does a cigarette lighter dash cam record when the car is switched off?
In most cars, no. The socket loses power when the ignition goes off, so the camera stops too. To record while parked, the camera needs a permanent live feed from the fuse box.
Can I hardwire a dash cam myself?
You can if you are confident finding the right fuses and routing cables behind trim. Picking the wrong circuit can stop parking recording working, which is why LockCAR systems are fitted by approved installers.
Will a hardwired dash cam drain my car battery?
A camera that records while parked does use some power. A careful installation picks the right circuit and is tested before handover. If your car often sits unused for long spells, tell the installer before fitting.
Is it legal to hardwire a dash cam?
Yes. What matters legally is where the camera sits, because it must not block your view of the road. Hardwiring helps by keeping cables off the windscreen.
Will hardwiring affect my car warranty?
If you are unsure, ask your dealer before booking and file the installer’s invoice with the car’s service records.
How much does a hardwired LockCAR dash cam cost?
The LockCar One is £450 and the LockCar One Plus 4G is £499. Both include an immobiliser and fitting, which typically takes 60 to 90 minutes.
