Hello! I am having a hard time installing my dashcam hardwire kit. I need to find a spot to put a two fuses: one that has a constant current and one that has a current when the car is started. They must both be greater than or equal to 10A. Please help!!

This will depend on how accessible the wiring is, the ignition switch wiring would be best which I have included the wiring diagrams below, if you can connect to the red/violet wire for constant power and the black/red wire for the switched power. Check out the images (below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem.
