A lot of these cheap devices are not actually CE approved, the image itself with the Union flag would ring alarm bells! Where did you get it from?
 
It’ll be the hard wire kit that’s causing it. I’ve seen several cheap low quality 12v socket adaptors (USB chargers etc) cause this. Buy a better one or buy a decent quality charger and hard wire that with some sort of 12v socket extender.
 
As above, I binned off the hard wire kit and wired a 12v socket into the glovebox instead. That way you use the adapter that came with the camera and avoid electrical issues like this. That would be the ideal solution.
