Suction mount cannot attach on windshield well?

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 C200 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 C200 dash cam is a safer lighter super capacitor instead of
lithium battery, which is only used to save the last video after power cut.
