Power source for dashcam?

[Tom in MF]

I want to install a dashcam high up on the windshield to the right of the rear view mirror. Anyone know of a good ignition switched power source up I can tap into? Short of that, any tips for running the power cord down to the center console?

Do you want it running all the time, including parking mode, or are you just interested in running it while the vehicle is driving? The later is easiest to power with an adapter connected to the powered mirror.
