1. Dec 2015I have a forum vendor able to install but few questions.
1. Year you have
2. Any issue with battery dying?
3. Any tesla warranty issues?
4. Does the big battery charge the small one if it starts to drain?
I do not want to run into any issues of we go this way. We use the car daily and have eas so do not want any issues.
2. my 12V battery was replaced ~14months under warranty, after getting a dash warning. Car was still driveable however.
But if you search the forum you'll see 12V replacements every 1-2yrs is not uncommon for the Model S.
3. No. As others have said, the service centre (usually) unplugs the dashcam when they're doing work
4. Yes
my 650GW-2ch is powered by constant-on 12V behind the microphone grille. I have parking mode enabled on the dashcam (but I park overnight in a dark garage at home so it's not recording actively 24hrs/day). Note the 650-2ch power consumption is only 5W max while recording
