Without external power supply, the camera will not power on, or the camera will power off immediately after the external power supply is disconnected.

Solution:
This A8 dash cam needs a 5V 2A external power supply to be power on. The camera will not power on without external power supply. Because the power source of this A8 dash cam is a safer lighter super capacitor instead of lithium battery. which is only used to save the last video after power cut.
