I have a rear camera fitted in my EcoSport with the power supplied by the 12volt in the rear seat area. This socket stays active for exactly 30 minutes. Bit annoying really.
Does anyone know how long that the 12volt supply in the Puma boot area stays active after the ignition is switched off. I would like to use this when I get my new Puma. Thanks
Rear camera power supply.
I have a rear camera and it stays live for 30 minutes after the ignition is switched off. It's possible to use a battery pack in the boot if the camera has parking mode.

The 30 minutes is good and bad, extra filming when parked in multi storeys or open car parks but 30 minutes of garage door when I'm at home and 30 minutes every time I just switch the ignition on and off. This eats into the 128k micro SD card, I normally get about 10 days before it overwrites,, not too bad really. I guess all new Fords operate the 12v sockets the same.

My rear view camera is a Blueskysea model. It's meant for the front but works great in the back. The 12 volt plug has a usb connection on the top behind a slide panel. Brilliant for connecting a battery pack so it switches to parking mode when the 30 minute ignition control kicks out. Next to no battery is used unless the car is hit which triggers an immediate recording. Video quality is good and it has an app and built-in wi-fi so has a great spec.
All for less than £50.

Hi, my front and rear cams are both Nextbase, very satisfied.
Looking forward to my new Puma, the 12v socket in the boot area should make it easy to connect a rear dashcam. Unless I can find an easy / tidy way to connect to the USB socket in the armrest, then it would go off with the ignition. Happy days.

Halfords specialise in Nextbase fitting. Think they charge around £35. I've never used them. The cable between the cameras can be fiddly to hide. There's plenty of info on here and YouTube.

Nextbase rear cams are a problem regarding DAB radio. Plenty of other makes are ok. My cheap Blueskysea is all good in this respect.
