I'm questioning this because I was under the impression that the battery protection circuit monitors (after 30 minutes / doors locked) mA and anything over 80mA will trigger the warning (battery dead or not). I struggled with this for a while connecting my AndroidPC.

Can you show me where you tapped into the Fuse panel? I appreciate the help!
No plans of not dailying my car so far, I do know some people do the same thing of hardwiring their dashcams in with constant on. If you're concerned about killing your battery, you can always get a power magic. I haven't gotten the any power draw warnings yet. If I knew I wasn't going to drive my car for a while, I can simply unplug the cable from the charger - I've set the camera to turn off upon cutting off power.

I tapped into fuse 73, you should be able to find a fuse diagram showing you the exact location!

This camera is quite popular for dashcams and actually has some sort of heatsink which seems to work pretty well.

64gig microsd in the camera. iPad simply reads the camera as a mass storage device.
