I'm currently using the Rexing V1 and routed a long usb cable hidden through he headliner over to the glovebox along with wire to my radar detector, it goes to a usb and cigarette light adapter which is plugged into a Lukas LP530 UPS, good for 6-8 hours of continous video and that's if I accidentally leave the radar detector on.

Bear in mind this puts a lot of wear on the SD card doing the continuous recording as well as heat buildup on the dashcam in a hot car in the summer. I wouldn't recommend doing it all the time with the UPS in the summer, fact it's only logical to use if you know for a fact the car will be unattended out of sight range for more than 1-2 hours, in the winter and spring I keep it running all the time, in the summer I disconnect the ups and run its internal battery and car power. Also I have 3 sd cards in the car one in the dash cam and 2 in the glove box in case one needs to be switched out and can be sent in for sandisk warranty replacement if something happens.
