General consensus is that the Porsche dash cam sucks and is a waste of money, you’re better getting a 3rd party one such as thinkware or blackvue, you also do not need to option the dash cam prep if going 3rd party

Porsche dashcam and pre wiring option are dogshit. I have no clue why PCNA push them on us.
The reality is that Porsche's dashcam isn't as good as many aftermarket alternatives that are easier to install. If you still can, return the camera and get a different dashcam. It sucks to lose the money from the pre wiring but it's still cheaper and better than having Porsche install the OEM one.
You'd think Porsche's own dashcam would be integrated into their car interior, but really its just a dashcam they stick onto your windshield like any other. It's not better than aftermarket cameras either, and I've heard the software is poopookaka. All that for paying 5x the price of an aftermarket dashcam that looks the same with wires tucked in. Theres also the bonus of the crappy design blocking your view if installed as intended on the left side of the mirror, and if installed on the right as to not impede vision, looks absolutely horrendous.
