Oh and the rear camera can fall off if it gets very hot.

It's strange how many threads there are on Dashcams. There is a recent one about using the OBD connector, and a few others. There is one from about 3 years ago where there is a detailed description, including photos, for powering the dashcam from the underside of the front aux 12v socket. Mine is installed that way with no problems, and very discrete.
Have a look at this. It is easy to do, and very unobtrusive.
