Installing a dash cam - recommended config?

[goofy3785]

Hi,

I am new to car electrical in general and I am planning on installing a front and rear dash cam to my car. The dash cam is a front and rear combo where the rear camera connects to the front dash cam over the center dash. I am planning on taking down the overhead lining of my 2011 honda civic and running the wire that way. The problem is that I have never done anything like this before and I am afraid that I'll rip or destroy something that I cannot repair. How hard is it to do this?

Also, is there a way to wire the dash cam so I don't have a dangling wire hanging from the center dash? Is there a way to power the dash cam through the wiring in the ceiling?

I had my wiring ran in the headliner down the A pillar and into the fuse block.
