Default Where to wire Dash Cam?

I've got a 2019 Lariat F150 with center console. In my 16 F150 I just ran the USB if under head board, under side pillar to the floor carpet, then under the carpet to the USB plug on the bottom of my dash.

What are y'all doing to hard wire these cameras?

under the dash, behind the stereo and out the top tray. I drilled a small hole and inserted a rubber grommet so it looks legit.

I wired mine into the rear window switch in the over head console.

Mine is hardwired in to run while the vehicle is turned off for X amount of hours. "Parking Mode"

Same. Bought a hard wire kit and a quality micro add a fuse and plugged into the fuse box. Nice clean and no visible wires.

Hard wired mine: Accessory to fuse 33 (Radio), power to fuse 26 (Pass Door control module)

I attached to radio fuse because it does not turn off when the A.S.S. turns off the engine so not a siting duck at an intersection


Ran wires up behind the black cover and then along the headliner to the fuse box. Had to mount on right side of mirror so as not to interfere with camera/sensor on mirror
