The red wire connects to a power source in your car controlled by the ignition, the yellow connects to an always-on power source, and the black wire connects to a ground. Aside from filling social media with a wealth of hilarious or jaw-dropping clips of incidents on the road, they fulfill a very important role of ensuring you don't find yourself on a wrong side of an unfair outcome if you're involved in an accident. In the event of an accident or if you just want to keep a recording, you can select the exact time you want to download, trim/edit the clip and save it to your phone.
