Gator GHWC Dashcam Hard Wire Kit, Mini USB (12/24V)

Enables a professional, cable-free dashcam installation connects mini USB Gator dashcams directly to the vehicle fuse box accessory circuit. 12V and 24V compatible.

Product Overview

The Gator GHWC is a hard wire kit for connecting compatible Gator dashcams with 5-pin type B mini USB power input directly to an accessory circuit in the vehicle's fuse box. Rather than relying on the accessory socket (cigarette lighter plug), the GHWC powers the dashcam from behind the dashboard eliminating visible cables and providing a professional, permanent installation.

Includes a 2-metre USB cable and a 0.5-metre power cable. Input accepts 12V (passenger vehicles) and 24V (trucks and commercial vehicles). Output is regulated to 5V at 1.5A for the dashcam.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Gator dashcams is this kit compatible with?

The GHWC is compatible with Gator dashcams that use a 5-pin type B mini USB power input. Not all Gator dashcams use mini USB — some use micro USB or USB-C. Confirm your dashcam's power connector type before purchasing. Contact the F.A.E. team to confirm compatibility with your specific dashcam model.

Is the GHWC fused?

No. The GHWC must be connected to the vehicle fuse box via a fuse — do not connect it directly to an unfused circuit. The correct fuse rating depends on the vehicle circuit being used — typically a low-rated accessory fuse (5A or less) is appropriate.

What is the advantage of hard wiring over using the accessory socket?

Hard wiring the dashcam to the fuse box allows the cable to be routed behind the headlining, A-pillar trim, and dashboard — eliminating the visible cable hanging from the accessory socket. The result is a cleaner, professional installation that doesn't occupy the accessory socket.

Is this compatible with 24V truck and commercial vehicle systems?

Yes. The GHWC accepts both 12V and 24V input, making it suitable for passenger cars and commercial vehicles.

What is the difference between mini USB and micro USB?

Mini USB (type B) is a larger, slightly trapezoidal connector that was common on older cameras and devices. Micro USB is a smaller, flatter connector used on more recent devices. Confirm which connector your Gator dashcam uses before purchasing the GHWC (mini USB) or its micro USB equivalent.
