I don't run a rear cam, but the dashcam does have an interior facing camera which has served me well in capturing footage behind me without the hassle of having to run a cable all the way to the back. As for installation, just pick up one of those Dongar adapters for Subaru vehicles. I've used it on all my cars, and it's hands down, the easiest way to keep things neat and tidy. Dashcam : Vantrue N2X Installation : Dongar Power Adapter (5-pin Type E for the Forester) https://preview.redd.it/b1zu61z5tywg1.png?width=1154&format=png&auto=webp&s=8209976fa75618b8825c9bea8370d9f8165b0a0b
Vantrue N2x with the inside camera off so front camera has max resolution. Also hooked up Dongar Pro adapter to pre installed wiring in the headliner. I have it setup to record 4 hours after parking instead of always but zero wiring it’s lovely
I have the vantrue N2X dashcam for my 2015 Forester. I didn't hardwire it, I worked the 11ft power cord along the inside of the front passenger A-pillar and along the door jam and under the passenger side carpet and plugged it into the power outlet in the center console since I never used it anyway. I've only had it for only 3 months but I like it so far. Except it does randomly take pictures and idk why 😂
I have the Vantrue N2X. It has the low voltage shut-off module that disables it if the battery gets too low. The 5 gen battery is always low, so the vallet mode rarely works. I haven't looked into a solution yet.
[Go with the VanTrue N2X](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D9GRRXH5/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_PGXHPXAKZJ6D407Q1S0Y?linkCode=ml1&tag=lfttscl-dbc-20). It’s the next gen from the N2 Pro which is used by a lot of Uber drivers and has had good reviews and reliability. To get the function of recording for several minutes after engine shut off, have an extra battery bank or hardwire it.
That’s a great camera and exactly what I was going to recommend for you. Pair it with [a max endurance memory card](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B084CJ9T2R/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_WFFHDWCRNAPCVZJ2PGSF?linkCode=ml1&tag=lfttscl-dbc-20) and you’ll be good to go.
Amazon has dashcams available. You only need to clean the area of the window you apply the mount to, and run the cable from your outlet. I bought the "Vantrue N2X Dashcam" and it's awesome. It's got an app if you need to view things quickly and is pretty small. I like it anyhow....
