Dash Camera Install

I installed a Rexing dash camera in my 2015 F-350 today. The system ties into with a fuse tap into the interior fuse box. I originally was wanting to tie into fuse 23 as it is a spare circuit. When I tied into the curcuit it seems to have power all the time. Is there a fuse that only gives power when the ignition is on, and if so which fuse is it? I also tested with the climate control circuit and ignition circuit, but they seem to be powered with the ignition off as well.

Do you have a sunroof? Easiest is to tap the wire above the overhead bin.

Yes I do have the sunroof. I’ll try that and let you know if it works.

If you don't mind, post some pictures of your install and review of the camera when you finish. It's hard to find honest reviews on stuff like this.

the sunroof is a 20amp fuse, I ended up going into fuse 44, which is the auxiliary switch fuse. I cycled the ignition and it worked as advertised. Give me a few weeks and I’ll hopefully learn all the gimmicks of the camera, but so far the only down side is the camera doesn’t show my speed, I have to view the footage on my computer to do that.
