Default rear dashcam

Has anyone installed a 2 channel dashcam (that covers front and rear)? How did you run the wire to the rear camera?

I'm going to install the rear camera for my Think ware using the method in this video (not the green stick, the trim/rain guttter method. Just be careful and disconnect the battery. You'll be running the wire near the curtain airbags.

So reporting back for future reference for folks. Bit the bullet, bought a 2 channel (front and rear) dash cam, and successfully installed it. To run the wire for the rear cam to the rear windshield, I ended up pulling the A pillar cover, front and rear driver side door sills, and lower B pillar panel. I didn't want to pull the panels but it made for a cleaner install and honestly not too hard to pull them off. For the front cam, I ran the power wire to down behind the A pillar cover to the driver side fuse box and used a fuse tap. Tedious but clean. No tapping or messing with the mirror wires.
