I currently have the rear-view dashcam in our 2015 Ducato plugged into fuse F51 on the dashboard fusebox which means it is switched off with the ignition. I am using a piggyback fuse adapter supplied by AUTO-VOX to match the dashcam.
In order to use the collison detect and record functionality of the dashcam, I need to connect to a permanently live fuse, However having spent a happy half hour testing all the fuses with my mulitimeter, I can't seem to find one
🙁

Probably post Xmas brain fog!
Has anyone with the same fusebox layout as my van (see photos attached) connected a device to a permanently live fuse and can tell me its number pretty please?

Wouldn't F36 for radio be live all the time?
 
Would there not be a permanent live for the radio for presets etc as well as an ignition live for the radio.
 
My Rapido permanent live is from the Hab battery.

Without going outside to check, I'm pretty sure that I used F32 (passenger compartment lighting) as the permanent live and F49 (radio etc) as the switched on our 2019 van.
 
My Rapido permanent live is from the Hab battery.

Mine can be switched between hab & van battery. Remove the trim panel where the 12v aux socket is located and you can access & piggyback off the live feed.
 
When I was fixing the failed heater blower on our 2010 Fiat based MH I found this You Tube video quite informative re fuse usage and location
.
I think yours will be the later model but this may help.

 
Happy New Year to you all and very many thanks for the great information!
The weather here in Devon was a tad better this morning so managed to have another go at the fuses without getting soaked!
As suggested, fuses F32, F34 and F36 are all constant lives. I chose to use F34 a it had an empty fuse slot next to it.
Just got to remember to switch the dashcam off at the end of the journies now :unsure:
PS In case anyone is looking for a rear view camera, the AUTO-VOX V5 is performing brilliantly so far....

Does the camera go into sleep mode when left with a live feed?

You have to physically turn it off.

When i travel I turn it on & it stays on until I return home. In 2019 due to wife's illness it was on from June Until december
