Hello and thank you for contacting us. If you don't wish to have any power at all from the camera, we recommend unplugging from the cigarette/multi-purpose port if you are using this power method. If you intend on using Parking Mode on your camera, then we would instead recommend using a Hard Wire Kit, not the Cigarette Lighter Cable. The Hard Wire Kit will allow the camera to draw nominal current from the car's battery, preventing the cam's battery from being drained. The Hard Wire Kit has an in-built voltage cutoff, which protects the car's battery from being drained below 11.2V. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any other questions. - The Nextbase Reviews team.
