Thank you for the reply and for the information. Would this circuit be located in the fuse-box in the driver's-side area above the OBD port or one of the other fuseboxes? Also I'm not too sure what is this converter or if it came with the hardwiring kit. The hardwiring kit I ordered (which I bought separately, didn't come with the dashcam) is like one long cable which consists of the mini-USB to plug into the dashcam, a little switch thing that can be switched to different voltages, and which becomes three little red,yellow,black wires (labelled as Battery+, ACC, and GND respectively), I'm not sure if the converter is included in here or if I need to buy one? If buying one is needed, is this the type of thing that can be found at the local AutoZone or auto parts store? . Also this is a single dashcam (front-facing only) it's a Viofo A119v3.
Viofo makes a hardwire kit like this one to enable parking mode. Connect the ACC wire to a fuse with an add a fuse circuit (low profile fuse) inside the fuse box near the steering wheel, the Battery wire to the positive on the battery and GRN wire to the frame of the car. The power wire to the battery need to be feed through the firewire. In the engine compartment just below the the strut tower there is a rubber with a wire (on passenger side). You can feed a wire through that rubber grommet to the inside of the car. It will go just below the cabin filter.
That hardwire kit is the same one I purchased so I should be all good on that front. Looks like the only thing I need to buy now is that add a fuse circuit, fingers crossed that all goes well as it's my first time doing something like this.Viofo makes a hardwire kit like this one to enable parking mode.

I have a Viofo A129 Duo.
It does not look like any fuse is suitable inside the car for constant power. At least for NA models this is the case but not sure with your model. I would get constant power direct from the battery. For ACC power almost any fuse will work but I would choose the fuse for the outlets.
The OBDII connector (under the dash) has constant power.
If you have any short it is safer to connect to a non-critical circuit.
Or one can install a fuse holder and low amperage fuse in the dashcam wiring.
