If you can, get your battery and alternator checked out before you replace it. Could be a number of things causing this. How often does the battery drain from when you aren't driving the car?

I don't have a dashcam, but had a similar problem where my factory radio was faulty, where a parasitic drain caused the battery to die out after a few days if the car weren't driven. I replaced the battery (because it was an 8 year old battery anyway) and it was the same result. My alternator and other electrical components were within spec when troubleshooting. I replaced the factory radio unit with an aftermarket, and all was well.
