Are any of the reliable dashcams currently on sale powered by battery only? I am reluctant to have one hard wired or have cables going all around and used with cigarette lighter socket.

Then you can trail the cables into the lining of your car's interior so you can't see the wires. That's what we do. There are plenty of instructional videos on YouTube. Alternatively, you could power a dash camera with an external battery bank. This isn't ideal because it would constantly need to be charged, but if you do go for this option - make sure you get a power bank which will support your dash cams charging capacity.
