I do use it for a dash cam. On mine it is ignition based and not a permanent feed. It stays on for a few minutes or so after you turn ignition off. I would have thought they were all wired the same?

For anyone interested, I ended up buying the Mio Mivue 568 Dashcam (see below) because I wanted something with speed camera alerts. It seems to pick up the fixed cameras really well. Not sure yet about any mobile sites.
