I'm setting up a car dvr and it uses a 12v car charger for power. I didn't want the wire dangling around so I'm going to hardwire it in. Originally I wanted to splice into the current AC but didn't want to do that in case i mess up or something.
So I figured I'd plug it into an unused fuse slot. I'm bad at electronics so a few questions.
I'll need one of these
Small ATM FUSE TAP ADD ON DUAL CIRCUIT ADAPTER AUTO CAR AUTO TERMINALS +15A FUSE | eBay plus a 7.5amp fuse right. Current diagram shows my AC outlet uses a 7.5 amp.
Then just ground the negative to that metal beam?
What limits power from exceeding 12v and blowing up the dvr? is amps the thing that regulates that?
Anything else I should know?
