It comes with a cig port to USB power and the camera. I ran the wire from the front window to the rear cig power port in the trunk. Powers on and off with the car. And if I am going to be parked for hours. I walk to my trunk. Unplug the camera USB wire from the USB cig port adapter it comes with and I plug it into the battery pack. I dont usually keep the power block with me. But I will grab it on my way out if I know I will be parked somewhere long. I had bad experince with blackvue DR900 and its 24/7 power. It killed my battery a few times. So now I use stand alone USB power banks.
