Want to install two hardwired accessories- Dashcam & Tracker: Possible?

Will it cause any power draw issues? Should I take any precautions or make any changes to the setup?

I am planning on installing Qubo GPS Tracker Car Pro by hardwiring it to the fuse box and a dual dashcam (something along the lines of DDPAI N5 Dual) to the OBD Port of my 2016 Innova Crysta 2.8Z. Will it cause any power draw issues? Should I take any precautions or make any changes to the setup?

Here's what BHPian audioholic had to say on this matter:

From what I gathered about this Qubo GPS tracker, it comes with an inbuilt battery for backup. That would mean this device need not always be powered by the battery of the car. In this case, it should not cause battery drain issues. The Dashcam would also run at a low power mode when ignition is off hence thats also a no issue. But I would suggest to disable the park recording feature and use the cam only when the ignition is active. That will allow you to leave the car unused for a few days at a time. If thats not your need and you drive very regularly, then both these devices are not going to cause any battery drain issues.
