Sawmaster and flip9 have proved my point corrosion is mentioned, using greases etc, it is car dependent so much easier to use a internal fusebox to tap power, solder is not "prone" to vibration how could it be ?, FACT solder fluxes contained in most solders like 60/40 lead/tin are corrosive this is the "cleaning" agent, in fact PINE TREE RESIN is much better flux, the application of LIQUID TAPE removes vibration from the joint as being rubber(latex) it absorbs it, how is a dash cam going to cause a high overcurrent most don't even use 500 m/a, the whole point is why put it in an area prone to heat extremes and moisture and a if you don't need to.
Mentioning amplifiers, AGAIN proves my point how much power does a amp draw compared with a dash cam, so if we were discussing amp installs I would agree but we're not.
FYI, F1 looms are crimped, then soldered, then with some teams x ray'd every joint and made to the exact same spec as the engine loom on my car with type44 wire, I know as my mate made mine who does these for some very exotic hyper car manufacturers and used to do F1 looms.
Any wiring/soldering done should always be secured next to other wires/brackets etc to minimise vibration, again MUCH less vibration and moisture inside a car as it has windows/seals to keep out moisture.
Up to you how you choose to do it different people have different ideas take what you will
