Dashcam/radar fuse
What kind of fuse does a 6 Gen Camaro SS have? Mini Fuse, Low Profile Mini Fuse or ATO Fuse? Which is the best option for dash cam and radar detector hard wire? I will probably wire from fuse box under the hood.

Micro2 / ATR, see circled below. Wish I understood why so many standards were/are necessary.

Thank you, I thought the answer was more complicated.

Oh, as to the second part of your question that I forgot to reply to (sorry), I wired the radar detector to the overhead console using Gen5DIY's split harness, and the dual dashcam to the trunk fuse box, with a parking mode switch.
There is a clear path above/behind the headliner, above the door and all the way down the pass side C pillar (behind the trim panel) for the rear cam and the power cord, with a convenient opening into and under the battery space. I wrapped the cable in an OEM sheath, so it doesn't look ghetto or too out of place in the trunk. The entire setup looks 99% OEM, even the headliner has a notch in front center that I guided the few inches of visible wiring through. I don't want to go through the firewall and even less a door for anything, if at all possible.

I tapped into the 12v outlet in the center console (purple wire) for the radar detector because I wanted to install a mute button for it in that area as well. Ran the wiring from there behind the passenger footwell, up the B pillar and along the headliner to the left side of the rear view mirror. I don’t have a dash cam yet, but plan on doing as arpad_m and tying it into the trunk fuse box.
