2011 Tahoe/Best dash cam for Chevy Tahoe

[The Grey Beast]

Looking to install a few after market items. One of which is a dash cam for from and rear of the vehicle. I drive a 2011 Chevy Tahoe LTZ. My question is how is the install with wires properly. I watched the video's and have the tools. Is it difficult or just time consuming? What camera system do you recommend? I'm trying to check if there are wireless cameras but that would incur constant taking the unit off and charging.

Thank you for reading my rant.

After going through 3 previous dash cams, been using a Cobra SC201 for over 3 years now and it is connected 24/7 to the rearview mirror wiring harness with a Dongar Technologies universal adapter.

My rearview comes from the interior camera, there's not a separate camera in the back of the cab.

I have the "Street Guardian" front / rear dash cam. It performs great... simple to operate.
These are sample photos of my install.....( '05 Yukon configuration ) ( The trick was locating the rear cam, on the hatch glass..... and to open / close the glass.

I power it from my cig lighter.

Rear cam mounted on glass / hatch open....( right side of photo....run wire through harness cover, does not interfere with weather seal.
Rear cam mounted on glass, hatch closed with glass opened....

The rear camera shows everything, as low as 3' behind.... ( especially if you use the optional 'parking mode' )..
I have more pics showing the install, if you wish....

( The photo showing the rear cam..... that cable is un-seen, from your rear view mirror.....
