OK so here's he deal,I have 2 dash cams (one front one rear) wired to a double throw toggle switch. In position 1 the switch powers the cameras on only when the truck is running, position 2 gives them full time power even when the engine is not running so I can keep recording in a parking lot or whatever in case someone backs into me.
On my mom's 2020 edge the power port has a timer that stays on for 10 minutes or so after turning the vehicle off. This is what I want to do for my cameras when on position 1 so I don't have to switch to full time power if I just run in a store real quick.
So... any simple ways to wire say a 10 minute time out for that side of the switch? Have it power on constantly with ignition in run position but wait 10 minutes before shutting power off with ignition in off position? I still want to leave position 2 to run full time no matter what.
@RonD I'm looking at you...
