I purchased and installed the Vantrue 4N Pro 4K Triple Dash Cam with GPS tracking from Amazon to allow for license plates to be captured. That's the issue with the inbuilt Drive Cam.
As I just got my R1S, it doesn’t come with the 12v under dash power. I tried to power the camera with the Garmin OBD solution I already have for CarPlay and MagSafe mount, but the camera is power hungry and wouldn’t stay on. So I had to do a rear view mirror tap.
Thanks to @citizen and his instructions here:

I followed the instructions exactly and it’s working really well now.
If you search online this is probably one of the few dashcam that captures license plates really well. I’ve attached some pics. If you observe the commercial van you can make out a lot of details from the videos besides the license plates. The rearview cam is pretty good too capturing the license plate of stopped F150.
