Hardwiring a Rove dashcam

Anyone hardwiring a Rove dashcam with the 3 lead kit? I'm installing one in a 2022 F57 and was wondering which fuses others have used for the constant power and the switched power. Thanx in advance!

It looks like Fuse 44 & 47 are the only easily accessible fuses with constant power. Anyone one know if they are ok to tap into? I have attached a photo of the fuse diagram below. I have open slots available with constant power. Can I tap into them? If so, would I need 2 fuse in the tap, or just the one that came in the tap?

I found fuses F1 - F14 behind a panel on the right side floorboard. I may be better off using one of them for constant power. Any insight would be appreciated!

The product link I sent allows you to tie directly into the rear view mirror power eliminating the need to run wiring to fuse blocks.

Here's a photo of the fuseblock on my 2022 F57, with both a dashcam and a blind spot detector professionally installed.

Awesome! Thanx!! I ended up using the empty slot above where you're installer tapped into with the yellow wire and the empty slot above the 3 yellow fuses on the right. Everything is working great!
