Can I run the camera from a portable charger? null

Yes, any USB with the right power will do. Like your phone charger or laptop.

Hello, We recommend powering the dashcam using the 12V cigarette lighter power cable provided, or using the Nextbase Hard Wire Kit. We recommend plugging this into a 12V 2 to 20amp supply. 20amp is the maximum recommended supply. As long as your portable charger provides the recommend supply, this can be used. Unfortunately most hand-held portable chargers do not provide 12V 2 amp power. The recommend usage of this dashcam is within your vehicle, connected to the cigarette lighter socket or directly to the car's fuses. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact our Support Team at support@nextbase.com.
