Can be done but it's not a good/complete solution.
The light dimming function only works with the dome light. You'll need to tap your dashcam into the dome light for the dimming effect. But the dome light is only turn on when you open the door or manually turn on the light. Then your dashcam will only power on during the same time. But not all dome light works the same.
Also, the dome light is direct power from the car battery. If you tap that then your dashcam will be on 24/7, I foresee a car battery drain and dashcam overheat issue here.
Nowadays dashcam can be powered by using a USB car charger or via the car fuse box via a hardwire kit.
