But if you hardwire, it would likely be...

FuseBox -> Wire to -> Front Camera -> Wire to -> Rear Camera

Like I said, I would just tap one of the already laid rear wires for the rear connection. If one has to take a connection all the way from the front, then my plan sucks for that implementation. It only works for people who have options like me. Anyhow, I am not a customer for dual channel cameras as the sole purpose for a dash cam for me is to have evidence in case of a crash and a front camera setup is enough for that, IMHO. Also, I don't require parking mode recording either. I just threw in my suggestion because dual channel setups are quite expensive compared to 2 basic dash cams like the mini which come without a screen.

It is just a matter of preference. Many a times, people are also concerned by getting hit from back and want evidence. For someone like, who is going to be a new driver, I will install it. But yes, "dash"cams are primarily for front of car.

There are even 3 Channel cameras where the 3rd camera is pointed to inside the car.

Rearview is 24x7 available on full screen.

Rear camera is mounted outside vehicle and gives you best quality. Its a Night Vision Sony sensor. Quality is really good. Full Hd only. Youtube for actual footages.

Front camera, you can slightly pan and tilt to adjust.
I myself did the wiring to the back, it was fairly easy once you know how to do it.

Ok, its personal preference(and no logic then :D )! Been using dashcam for almost 6 years, never felt a need for rear. Personally it never make sense unless someone wants to do some kind of V-logging. Regarding rear ending, its mostly always other person's fault(driver who drives the vehicle behind you) and remaining cases you will have front camera to prove you are not at fault.

Very recently, My car got hit by a truck from the right back corner, and eventually my car hit another truck on front right, the Insurance supervisor was bit reluctanct in approving claim for both sides. I had both recordings, front and back and claim was settled 100%. The difference amount was double of the cost of dashcam. :)

Looks like your dash cam paid for itself.

I have a just front dash cam. Thinking about adding a rear cam, but would like a duo solution, not two separate cams.

I assume you claimed from your own insurance and This is the issue with your insurance provider(personally i will discard them in my next renewal, tataaig and royal sundaram). In your case claim needs to be settled without even need of dashcam footage, after all the whole reason why we go for OD insurance.

Seriously not sure on what reason insurer can deny and then approve just because dashcam footage provded?

ideally dashcam footage needed to prove its fault of other person and settle the case in a whatever way possible.

1. Long history with service center, they dont like me for obvious reasons. They try to upsell a lot pf things with service and I dont take then .

2. The surveyor told the service center that the story is unjustified and doesn't make any sense. They approve what they think is possible.

Yes, you can escalate and get full claim. But it made things easy for me.
 
I've asked this on TeamBHP as well, but I don't understand why don't people claim damages from the insurance of the person who caused the accident. I mean, with dual dash cams, one would have all the evidence one needs for that. I guess people don't want any hassles, but for expensive cars with big insurance premiums, the NCB loss is also going to be quite high. I guess I'll know the answer when I have to make such a claim myself as I only have third-party insurance for my 20+ yr old car.
