I have a 1 peice windshield, don’t want any wires hanging down. Any chance there is a decent dash cam with a long power cord. After a few events the last few weeks, it is time to invest in 1. Thank you in advance for any help.
Good dash cam with long power cable

Sylvania cams come with a very long cord. It's just an USB cable though, you can buy them any length you want from Amazon

Yep, most just use a USB cord, get any length you want.
But if you want it clean why not put a power point up above the windshield if there isn't one there already. Have you got CB power above the windshield? -
Get a dash cam that uses USB-C cable, then order either a Belkin BoostCharge Pro or an Anker USB-C Cable for 240W devices, order the 10 foot ones and run that to a power source.

Thank you for replies everyone, going to look into all of this. It is an older ford LTL 9000, my cb is down below my dash. All good ideas tho I appreciate it and will figure it out this weekend. I hate the thought of a dash cam being mandatory, unfortunately that is the times we are living in.

I fought it for a long time. Doesn't matter how good of a driver you are. You have to protect yourself however you can nowadays. Everyone is looking for an excuse to sue a trucker. Go to any big city and look at the billboards, one after another. The jackoff lawyers are training the public that every truck on the road is a cash cow.
It's just part of the job.PSM379 Thanks this. -
You aren’t lying man!
