Are there any rechargeable dashcams?
What dashcams are rechargeable so I don’t have to plug it in, and are there any that do wireless between front and rear cameras as I don’t want to be routing cables through the cars.

There are dashcams on the market that allow a period of operation without being plugged into a power source, such as models from iZeeker or KAWA, but the issue with these is that due to their size the battery capacity is limited and at some point the unit will have to be charged, so if you are making a longer journey the battery will be used up before the journey is completed or you will need to recharge the unit at the end of most journeys. Also if you have a rear camera as well as a front camera without a permanent power source you will have to recharge both units on a regular basis, which is a lot of effort. If routing cables or having power cables visible is an issue, we would suggest having a unit professionally installed which would maintain a clean, factory appearance of the interior.
