Do a search of the forums here for lots of recommendations on dash cams with various features, back or interior cameras, etc. I ended up getting an auto-dim mirror with Homelink from here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1869553566/22-25-ford-maverick-auto-dimming-mirror (he's a Maverick Truck Club person) that included a wiring harness (I chose the option with a USB port broken out of the wiring harness) that I could easily plug in a dashcam into without needing to run an ugly power cable to a USB port under the dash. This mirror is working great, and above the mirror (inside the headliner area) has plenty of space to stuff the extra cable lengths as needed. May be a bit tight if you have the sunroof, but I don't and there was plenty of room for cables to be tucked away.
The hardest thing I had to do was running a cable to my back camera (that I mounted on the inside of the rear window), but that was just perseverance to shove it behind the trim pieces around the doors.
I ended up with a Pelsee P1 Pro camera that's worked quite well, but there are lots of options out there, depending on needs.

I like the Wolfbox, but it’s pricy and the install is not easy.
Many cams out their. I have a Viofo A229 Plus 3 channel. BUT if you really want to see best get a 4 K version. Mine is 2K version, A229 Ultra is 4 K .
I have front rear and interior. Interior for a reason most would not care about and NO not uber. . My forward cam is behind mirror you cant even see it while driving. The interior cam is not on windshield
BUT since the hybrid Mav has the whole 12 volt battery issue I have a different setup. Cam is power by a lithium battery in glove box. So when parked cam keeps running in parking lots. But at home I manually turn cam off. Battery is charged while mav is running and battery has Pass Through tech . Which is ability to be charged and used at the same time. MANY batteries cant do this even though they say they can. Trust me just replaced my battery as it was over 5 years old with new battery . Many do not really support Pass Through .
this one does https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08JGDGYJY?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1
But only on one of two out ports.

I purchased a Thinkware dash cam from Ford Accessories with my FordPass reward points and regretted that. Paid 300.00 and had nothing but problems. It was replaced twice under warranty. The 1st replacement was several years older than the original and had issues too. I replaced it with a 99 dollar Red Tiger from Amazon that has worked flawlessly. Avoid anything made by Thinkware. Just my opinion based on my experience with their product and poor customer service.
I just installed a WOLFBOX G840S 4 K Mirror dash Cam, with permanent mounting bracket and permanent Hard wire Kit. $160 all in from Amazon. Newer versions will cost quite a bit more. I'm 77 years old and not as spry or patient as I used to be, so I paid a shop for a professional installation. They charged $420 and it took about 3 hours. It looks like it has always been there. The camera is mounted above the rear license plate per the manufacturer's recommendation. You can change the view angle from inside the vehicle with just a swipe. It is extremely easy to set up and change any settings. The picture is crystal clear. My only complaint is that, on sunny days, the glare on the screen makes it unusable at times (this is probably true of all of these types of mirrors). I have ordered an Anti -Glare shield from WOLFBOX ($6.99 plus $8.00 shipping) to fix this issue.
Haven't received my maverick yet but in my current car I have a 70mai T800 with the 4g hardwire module. It has 4k front, 4k rear, an interior camera, and remote alerting/viewing capabilities with the 4g module.
