My wife's 2015 SL was recently hit/scratched in the parking lot of a shopping mall.
Just got it repaired costing C$500 (without insurance as deductible was more).

So we decided to got a Dash Cam (found a very good one: XF TIMES 3.0" HD Dash cam, under for U$80).
I want the dash cam to be keep running all the time (in parking lot situation), the camera has a small internal battery that runs for only ~ 5min.
However, as we know the - car dash or storage bin's 12v power shuts off few mins after door is locked.

Is there a easy way to find a 12v power source that is always on inside the cabin?
If you can please point me to existing thread or video - I will appreciate.

(Sorry if this question is already asked, I tried server search on this forum, and I did not find anything).

I would try probing for unused fuse ports in the fuse box - and pick up voltage there. You could also use a piggyback fuse holder like https://dashcamtalk.com/forum/threads/p ... -way.7524/ if you can't find an unused fuse holder. You car's factory service manual, available at http://www.nissanservicemanual.com may be helpful in narrowing it down.
