Default Hi!! Where do you guys ground your dash cams?

Hi everybody, I thought I found a good spot to ground my dash cam (I have it going from the headliner down to the fuse box but the screw I'm trying to unscrew won't come off. I actually went under the door weatherstrip molding to the door hinge bolt but the vibrations of the car knocks it loose. Just curious where I can complete the circuit based on anybody's experience thank you!

This thread will probably help you.

I'm going to try to use the same method to hardwire my dash cam later today.

The entire car chassis is ground. Just attach to something metal anywhere.

I grounded mine down by the fuse box. There is a nut with a ring terminal under the cover so I just piggybacked on that one.

I just installed one as well, and picked ground and switched +12V right behind the radio
