HK5 Series Hardwire Cable
- Supports 12V–24V electrical systems
- 4 selectable voltage cut-off options to prevent battery drain
- ACC detection automatically switches parking mode on and off
- Provides a constant power supply via the vehicle fuse box
With ACC detection, the dash cam enters parking mode automatically when the engine is switched off, then resumes normal recording once the vehicle is started.
The HK5 connects to your fuse box (VCC, ACC, GND), replacing the need for a cigarette lighter adaptor and providing continuous power from the moment you set off.
While parked, the cable keeps the dash cam running by drawing power from the fuse box. It powers down automatically before your car battery is drained.
Battery Discharge Prevention
The HK5 supplies continuous power in parking mode until the battery voltage drops to the configured threshold, at which point it cuts power to protect the battery.
Configurable Voltage Cut-off
Four voltage cut-off levels are available. When the battery drops to the selected threshold, the HK5 stops supplying power to the dash cam to prevent discharge.
12V / 24V Compatible
The HK5 accepts input from any vehicle running on 12V or 24V, making it suitable for cars, vans, SUVs, trucks and buses.
Cable Connection
Designed specifically for the Viofo VS1 and its USB Type-C power input. Connect the HK5 to the GPS power port only. If you need a hardwire cable for other Viofo models, the Viofo HK4 is compatible with the A119 Mini, A229 and A329.

About the Viofo HK5
From our tech experts at CEN
A hardwire kit is what turns a dash cam into a parking camera. It draws a permanent feed from the fuse box, keeps the 12V socket free, and includes a voltage cutoff that shuts the camera down before your battery is affected.
Who it suits
VS1 owners who want parking protection from the smallest camera in the range.
Our tech experts advise
The VS1 draws very little in parking mode, which makes it a sensible camera to leave recording on a car parked on the street. If you would rather not take the trim off and probe the fuse box yourself, we fit hardwire kits at our Beeston workshop alongside a camera install. See dash cam installation.
