Does the mirror have 12 volt power that's always on?

[Meterman]

I just picked up my 2024 F-150 Lariat PB. I am connecting my Escort 360C and Escort M2 Dash Cam. I need 12 volts that always powered for the M2 Dash Cam to be able to use the surveillance state where it is monitoring for activity but is not recording. Once the camera detects a G-Sensor impact (someone bumps your vehicle) or motion is detected, the camera will turn on and record a clip for you to review later.

I have a feeling there is not, but I thought I'd ask.

There’s a diagram in this thread. I don’t think there’s constant power there.

With a PB if you want to run parking monitoring with the dash cam you may want to look into a separate battery to run it. They make nice ones that will power the surveillance feature of dash cams for quite some time without jeopardizing the already finicky OEM battery system with the PB.

Ask Escort for power consumption needs. Dashcams in high data rate are well in the several watts. That combined with the trucks various always ON systems adds up to a depleted 12VDC quickly. Latest BMS update may protect from not being able to start but if dashcam is still draining you may manifest this issue. I went hood solar but the discrete camera battery if available is a good idea too.

PS 360C with the App is excellent help to the driving condition, even if you don't speed. I wish it was integrated with i.e. Google Maps or AA/Carplay.
